Entropy encoding and decoding is a crucial part of any multimedia system that can be highly demanding in terms of computing power. Hardware implementation of typical compression a...
We consider the problem of optimally allocating a given total storage budget in a distributed storage system. A source has a data object which it can code and store over a set of s...
The distributed data storage on unreliable devices, connected by a short-range radio network is analyzed. Failing devices incur loss of data. To prevent the loss, the data is spli...
In this paper we present a quantitative study of data survival in peer to peer storage systems. We first recall two main redundancy mechanisms: replication and erasure codes, whic...
This paper discusses how to building high available storage systems on top of peer-to-peer infrastructure. We first demonstrate that traditional definitions of availability are not...
