Data-intensive, interactive applications are an important class of metacomputing (Grid) applications. They are characterized by large, time-varying data flows between data provid...
Checksum and CRC algorithms have historically been studied under the assumption that the data fed to the algorithms was uniformly distributed. This paper examines the behavior of ...
We present new methods to extend data reliability of disks in RAID systems for applications like long term data archival. The proposed solutions extend existing algorithms to detec...
The focus of typical architectural models is the description of large systems. Even though these systems are usually distributed, aspects of distributed systems are only addressed...
This paper describes Mortar, a distributed stream processing platform for building very large queries across federated systems (enterprises, grids, datacenters, testbeds). Nodes i...
