Selection of resources for execution of scientific workflows in data grids becomes challenging with the exponential growth of files as a result of the distribution of scientific e...
: Efficient information sharing is very important for emergency and rescue operations. These operations often have to be performed in environments where no communication infrastruc...
Many decentralized and peer-to-peer applications require some sort of data management. Besides P2P file-sharing, there are already scenarios (e.g. BRICKS project [3]) that need m...
Systems that track sensed data trigger alerts based on the evaluation of some condition. In the presence of loss data a conservative condition may not generate a necessary alert an...
In this paper we present a quantitative study of data survival in peer to peer storage systems. We first recall two main redundancy mechanisms: replication and erasure codes, whic...
