—Cloud Computing, born in the e-business context, and GRID computing, originated in the e-science context, are two different but similar paradigms for managing large sets of dist...
In the past, efficient parallel algorithms have always been developed specifically for the successive generations of parallel systems (vector machines, shared-memory machines, d...
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on the limitations of copy-on-write snapshots and incremental backups in terms of data recoverability. We provide mathemat...
