We study the problem of guaranteeing data durability [2] in distributed storage systems based on replication. Our work is motivated by several several recent efforts [3, 5, 1] to ...
Peer-to-peer (p2p) systems are attracting increasing attention as an efficient means of sharing data among large, diverse and dynamic sets of users. The widespread use of XML as a...
Multimedia applications are emerging in education, information dissemination, entertainment, as well as many other applications. The stringent requirements of such applications ma...
Modeling the reliability of distributed systems requires a good understanding of the reliability of the components. Careful modeling allows highly fault-tolerant distributed appli...
We characterize the dynamic data management problem for location based services(LBS) in mobile environments and devise a cost model for servicing both location independent and loc...
