Nowadays, systems often integrate a variety of applications whose service requirements are heterogeneous. Consequently, systems must be able to concurrently serve applications whi...
transistors the design of the SoC needs to be moved to a higher level of abstraction. We need to think in processors and interconnects rather than gates and wires. We discuss the n...
The inability to perform optimizations based on application-specific information presents a hurdle to the deployment of pervasive LAN file systems across WAN environments. This pa...
Single sign-on is critical for the usability of distributed systems. While there are several authentication mechanisms which support single sign-on (e.g. Kerberos and X.509), it m...
The Direct Access File System (DAFS) is a distributed file system built on top of direct-access transports (DAT). Direct-access transports are characterized by using remote direct...
