Traditionally, distributed Web servers have used two strategies for allocating files on server nodes: full replication and full distribution. While full replication provides a high...
In this paper, we propose a resource-aware solution to achieving reliable and scalable stream diffusion in a probabilistic model, i.e., where communication links and processes are...
We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of a fully distributed directory service for Farsite, a logically centralized file system that is physically implemented on a...
This report describes a pay broadcasting system for the Internet. This system would enable tens of thousands of people to access an identical video stream simultaneously. In this ...
