Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are characterized by direct access between peer computers, rather than through a centralized server. File sharing is the dominant P2P application on the...
A cooperative structured peer-to-peer file-sharing system requires that the nodes participating in the system need to maintain the location mappings of other nodes. However, the s...
In this paper, we propose a novel Single I/O Space architecture for achieving a Single System Image (SSI) at the I/O subsystem level. This is very much desired in a scalable clust...
Traditional access control mechanisms rely on a reference monitor to mediate access to protected resources. Reference monitors are inherently centralized and existing attempts to ...
In a distributed environment the utilization of file buffer caches in different clients may vary greatly. Cooperative caching is used to increase cache utilization by coordinatin...
