Any set of autonomous workstations, however networked (by a LAN, a MAN, or wireless), can be seen as a collection of networked low cost disks. Such a collection can be operated by...
Peer-to-peer systems provide the opportunity to pool large amounts of distributed resources to enable internetscale applications. However, the participant nodes are highly dynamic...
—P2P storage systems use replication to provide a certain level of availability. While the system must generate new replicas to replace replicas lost to permanent failures, it ca...
