— File distribution via network coding has received a lot of attention lately. However, direct application of network coding may have security problems. In particular, attackers ...
In this paper, we discuss requirements for integrating dynamic performance information from the Network Weather Service (NWS) into the Grid Information Service infrastructure (GIS...
The World Wide Web can be considered as a large distributed information system that provides access to shared data objects. As one of the most popular applications currently runni...
We study integrated prefetching and caching in single and parallel disk systems. A recent approach used linear programming to solve the problem. We show that integrated prefetching...
To function in mobile computing environments, distributed file systems must cope with networks that are slow, intermittent, or both. Intermittence vitiates the effectiveness of ca...
