Efficient data management is a key component in achieving good performance for scientific workflows in distributed environments. Workflow applications typically communicate data be...
As part of the IEEE 802.16 protocol, the random access scheme is used for ranging. The ratio between the numbers of periodic ranging slots and data slots in the uplink subframe de...
Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) promise to manage huge sets of key-value pairs in a Peer-to-Peer manner. The Content-Addressable Network (CAN) is a prominent variant of DHT. A crit...
As technology scales, more sophisticated fabrication processes cause variations in many different parameters in the device. These variations could severely affect the performance ...
Abstract. In this paper we study data replication in a mirrored disk system. Free disk space is exploited by keeping replicas of specific cylinders at appropriate disk locations. A...
