Computer worms -- malicious, self-propagating programs -- represent a significant threat to large networks. One possible defense, containment, seeks to limit a worm's spread ...
Abstract—Peer-to-peer storage systems aim to provide a reliable long-term storage at low cost. In such systems, peers fail continuously, hence, the necessity of self-repairing me...
— In this paper, a new method is proposed to evaluate the reliability of stochastic mechanical systems. This technique is based on the combination of the probabilistic transforma...
We study the problem of guaranteeing data durability [2] in distributed storage systems based on replication. Our work is motivated by several several recent efforts [3, 5, 1] to ...
An important threat to reliable storage of data is silent data corruption. In order to develop suitable protection mechanisms against data corruption, it is essential to understan...
