Freenet: A Distributed Anonymous Information Storage and Retrieval System

by Ian Clarke, Oskar Sandberg, Brandon Wiley, Theodore W. Hong - INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON DESIGNING PRIVACY ENHANCING TECHNOLOGIES: DESIGN ISSUES IN ANONYMITY AND UNOBSERVABILITY , 2001
"... We describe Freenet, an adaptive peer-to-peer network application that permits the publication, replication, and retrieval of data while protecting the anonymity of both authors and readers. Freenet operates as a network of identical nodes that collectively pool their storage space to store data ..."

Managing Update Conflicts in Bayou, a Weakly Connected Replicated Storage System

by Douglas Terry, Marvin Theimer, Karin Petersen, Alan Demers, Mike Spreitzer, Carl Hauser - In Proceedings of the Fifteenth ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles , 1995
"... Bayou is a replicated, weakly consistent storage system designed for a mobile computing environment that includes portable machines with less than ideal network connectivity. To maximize availability, users can read and write any accessible replica. Bayou's design has focused on supporting apph ..."

A Compositional Approach to Performance Modelling

by Jane Hillston , 1996
"... Performance modelling is concerned with the capture and analysis of the dynamic behaviour of computer and communication systems. The size and complexity of many modern systems result in large, complex models. A compositional approach decomposes the system into subsystems that are smaller and more ea ..."

Nested Transactions: An Approach to Reliable Distributed Computing

by J. Eliot B. Moss , 1981
"... Distributed computing systems are being built and used more and more frequently. This distributod computing revolution makes the reliability of distributed systems an important concern. It is fairly well-understood how to connect hardware so that most components can continue to work when others are ..."

are broken, and thus increase the reliability of a system as a whole. This report addressos the issue of providing software for reliable distributed systems. In particular, we examine how to program a system so that the software continues to work in tho face of a variety of failures of parts of the system

Scale and performance in a distributed file system

by John H. Howard, Michael L. Kazar, Sherri G. Menees, A. Nichols, M. Satyanarayanan, Robert N. Sidebotham, Michael J. West - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1988
"... The Andrew File System is a location-transparent distributed tile system that will eventually span more than 5000 workstations at Carnegie Mellon University. Large scale affects performance and complicates system operation. In this paper we present observations of a prototype implementation, motivat ..."

The Data Grid: Towards an Architecture for the Distributed Management and Analysis of Large Scientific Datasets

by Ann Chervenak , Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman, Charles Salisbury, Steven Tuecke - JOURNAL OF NETWORK AND COMPUTER APPLICATIONS , 1999
"... In an increasing number of scientific disciplines, large data collections are emerging as important community resources. In this paper, we introduce design principles for a data management architecture called the Data Grid. We describe two basic services that we believe are fundamental to the des ..."

to the design of a data grid, namely, storage systems and metadata management. Next, we explain how these services can be used to develop higher-level services for replica management and replica selection. We conclude by describing our initial implementation of data grid functionality.

Stochastic Perturbation Theory

by G. W. Stewart , 1988
"... . In this paper classical matrix perturbation theory is approached from a probabilistic point of view. The perturbed quantity is approximated by a first-order perturbation expansion, in which the perturbation is assumed to be random. This permits the computation of statistics estimating the variatio ..."
