Cost-Aware Caching Algorithms for Distributed Storage Servers

by Shuang Liang, Ke Chen, Song Jiang, Xiaodong Zhang
"... Abstract. We study replacement algorithms for non-uniform access caches that are used in distributed storage systems. Considering access latencies as major costs of data management in such a system, we show that the total cost of any replacement algorithm is bounded by the total costs of evicted blo ..."

Section 2 uses a more formal representation of vulnerability to show how overall coping capacity might be judged

Policy Based Self-Management in Distributed Environments

by Lin Bao, Ahmad Al-shishtawy, Vladimir Vlassov
"... Abstract—Currently, increasing costs and escalating complex-ities are primary issues in the distributed system management. The policy based management is introduced to simplify the management and reduce the overhead, by setting up policies to govern system behaviors. Policies are sets of rules that ..."

The carbon balance of tropical, temperate and boreal forests.

by Y Malhi , D D Baldocchi , P G Jarvis , Rd6 - Plant Cell and Environment, , 1999
"... ABSTRACT Forest biomes are major reserves for terrestrial carbon, and major components of global primary productivity. The carbon balance of forests is determined by a number of component processes of carbon acquisition and carbon loss, and a small shift in the magnitude of these processes would ha ..."

TRANSACTIVE MEMORY IN DISTRIBUTED ORGANIZATIONS

by unknown authors
"... Transactive memory systems (TMS) are systems of directories that are used to locate and use knowledge in groups. Previous research indicates that, by supporting group cognitive activities, TMS are important determinants of group performance. This paper applies the concept of TMS to knowledge sharing ..."
