Solid-State Storage and Work Sharing for Efficient Scaleup Data Analytics

Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis

Today, managing, storing and analyzing data continuously in order to gain additional insight is becoming commonplace. Data analytics engines have been traditionally optimized for read-only queries assuming that the main data reside on mechanical disks. The ...

Practical Network Tomography

Denisa Gabriela Ghita

In this thesis, we investigate methods for the practical and accurate localization of Internet performance problems. The methods we propose belong to the field of network loss tomography, that is, they infer the loss characteristics of links from end-to-en ...

Network Tomography on Correlated Links

Patrick Thiran, Denisa Gabriela Ghita

Network tomography establishes linear relationships between the characteristics of individual links and those of end-to-end paths. It has been proved that these relationships can be used to infer the characteristics of links from end-to-end measurements, p ...

Trustful Cumulus Clouds

Rachid Guerraoui, Maysam Yabandeh

Cloud computing offers an appealing business model and it is tempting for companies to delegate their IT services to the cloud. Yet, a company might ﬁnd it risky to do so for sensible services and to depend entirely on a single provider, which can be vulne ...

The complexity of reliable distributed storage

Ron Levy

Distributed storage systems based on commodity hardware have gained in popularity because they are cheaper, can be made more reliable and offer better scalability than centralized storage systems. However, implementing and managing such systems is more com ...

Atomic broadcast

Nils Richard Ekwall

Within only a couple of generations, the so-called digital revolution has taken the world by storm: today, almost all human beings interact, directly or indirectly, at some point in their life, with a computer system. Computers are present on our desks, co ...

A High Throughput Atomic Storage Algorithm

Rachid Guerraoui, Dejan Kostic, Ron Levy

This paper presents an algorithm to ensure the atomicity of a distributed storage that can be read and written by any number of clients. In failure-free and synchronous situations, and even if there is contention, our algorithm has a high write throughput ...

Comparing Atomic Broadcast Algorithms in High Latency Networks

André Schiper, Nils Richard Ekwall

Since the introduction of the concept of failure detectors, several consensus and atomic broadcast algorithms based on these detectors have been published. The performance of these algorithms is often affected by a trade-off between the number of communica ...

Peer Sharing Behaviour in the eDonkey Network, and Implications for the Design of Server-less File Sharing Systems

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Sidath Handurukande

In this paper we present an empirical study of a workload gathered by crawling the eDonkey network - a dominant peer-to-peer file sharing system - for over 50 days. We first confirm the presence of some known features, in particular the prevalence of free- ...

Denial-of-service resilience in peer-to-peer file sharing systems

Willy Zwaenepoel, Dan Mihai Dumitriu

Peer-to-peer (p2p) file sharing systems are characterized by highly replicated content distributed among nodes with enormous aggregate resources for storage and communication. These properties alone are not sufficient, however, to render p2p networks immun ...
