Serverless Network File Systems
- ACM TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTER SYSTEMS
, 1995
"... In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for network file system design, serverless network file systems. While traditional network file systems rely on a central server machine, a serverless system utilizes workstations cooperating as peers to provide all file system services. Any machine in the sy ..."

A Low-bandwidth Network File System
, 2001
"... This paper presents LBFS, a network file system designed for low bandwidth networks. LBFS exploits similarities between files or versions of the same file to save bandwidth. It avoids sending data over the network when the same data can already be found in the server's file system or the client ..."

or the client's cache. Using this technique, LBFS achieves up to two orders of magnitude reduction in bandwidth utilization on common workloads, compared to traditional network file systems
The Google File System
- ACM SIGOPS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW
, 2003
"... We have designed and implemented the Google File System, a scalable distributed file system for large distributed data-intensive applications. It provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware, and it delivers high aggregate performance to a large number of clients. While s ..."

traditional choices and explore radically different design points. The file system has successfully met our storage needs. It is widely deployed within Google as the storage platform for the generation and processing of data used by our service as well as research and development efforts that require large
A Fast File System for UNIX
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1984
"... A reimplementation of the UNIX file system is described. The reimplementation provides substantially higher throughput rates by using more flexible allocation policies that allow better locality of reference and can be adapted to a wide range of peripheral and processor characteristics. The new file ..."

file system clusters data that is sequentially accessed and provides two block sizes to allow fast access to large files while not wasting large amounts of space for small files. File access rates of up to ten times faster than the traditional UNIX file system are experienced. Long needed enhancements
Coda: A Highly Available File System for a Distributed Workstation Environment
- IN IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS
, 1990
"... Coda is a file system for a large-scale distributed computing environment composed of Unix workstations. It provides resiliency to server and network failures through the use of two distinct but complementary mechanisms. One mechanism, server replication,stores copies of a file at multiple servers ..."

An Integrated Experimental Environment for Distributed Systems and Networks
- In Proc. of the Fifth Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation
, 2002
"... Three experimental environments traditionally support network and distributed systems research: network emulators, network simulators, and live networks. The continued use of multiple approaches highlights both the value and inadequacy of each. Netbed, a descendant of Emulab, provides an experimenta ..."

Kerberos: An Authentication Service for Open Network Systems
- IN USENIX CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
, 1988
"... In an open network computing environment, a workstation cannot be trusted to identify its users correctly to network services. Kerberos provides an alternative approach whereby a trusted third-party authentication service is used to verify users’ identities. This paper gives an overview of the Kerb ..."

, and administrator are described. Finally, the role of Kerberos in the larger Athena picture is given, along with a list of applications that presently use Kerberos for user authentication. We describe the addition of Kerberos authentication to the Sun Network File System as a case study for integrating Kerberos
Statistical mechanics of complex networks
- Rev. Mod. Phys
"... Complex networks describe a wide range of systems in nature and society, much quoted examples including the cell, a network of chemicals linked by chemical reactions, or the Internet, a network of routers and computers connected by physical links. While traditionally these systems were modeled as ra ..."

Tinydb: An acquisitional query processing system for sensor networks
- ACM Trans. Database Syst
, 2005
"... We discuss the design of an acquisitional query processor for data collection in sensor networks. Acquisitional issues are those that pertain to where, when, and how often data is physically acquired (sampled) and delivered to query processing operators. By focusing on the locations and costs of acq ..."

Network Coding for Large Scale Content Distribution
"... We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate and transmit encoded blocks of information. The randomization introduced by the coding process eases the scheduling of bloc ..."
