Broadcast Disks with Polynomial Cost Functions
— In broadcast disk systems, information is broadcasted in a shared medium. When a client needs an item from the disk, it waits until that item is broadcasted. The fundamental al...

Enhancing data availability in disk drives through background activities
Latent sector errors in disk drives affect only a few data sectors. They occur silently and are detected only when the affected area is accessed again. If a latent error is detect...
