In this paper, we investigate the roles of replication vs. repair to achieve durability in large-scale distributed storage systems. Specifically, we address the fundamental questio...
There are two broad approaches to query evaluation over probabilistic databases: (1) Intensional Methods proceed by manipulating expressions over symbolic events associated with u...

We describe how to manage distributed file system caches based upon groups of files that are accessed together. We use file access patterns to automatically construct dynamic g...
Performance of distributed applications largely depends on the mapping of their components on the underlying architecture. On one mponent-based approaches provide an abstraction su...
