A major concern in cloud/edge storage systems is serving a large number of users simultaneously. The service rate region is introduced recently as an important performance metric for coded distributed systems, which is defined as the set of…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) have received significant recent attention as a method of designing data storage systems robust to server failure. Optimal LRCs offer the ideal trade-off between minimum distance and locality, a measure of…
Content distribution over networks is often achieved by using mirror sites that hold copies of files or portions thereof to avoid congestion and delay issues arising from excessive demands to a single location. Accordingly, there are…
Coding for distributed storage gives rise to a new set of problems in coding theory related to the need of reducing inter-node communication in the system. A large number of recent papers addressed the problem of optimizing the total amount…
The repair bandwidth of a code is the minimum amount of data required to repair one or several failed nodes (erasures). For MDS codes, the repair bandwidth is bounded below by the so-called cut-set bound, and codes that meet this bound with…
Classical erasure codes, e.g. Reed-Solomon codes, have been acknowledged as an efficient alternative to plain replication to reduce the storage overhead in reliable distributed storage systems. Yet, such codes experience high overhead…
This paper generalizes the piggybacking constructions for distributed storage systems by considering various protected instances and piggybacked instances. Analysis demonstrates that the proportion of protected instances determines the…
This paper presents a new explicit construction for locally repairable codes (LRCs) for distributed storage systems which possess all-symbols locality and maximal possible minimum distance, or equivalently, can tolerate the maximal number…
In this paper, we study distributed storage problems over unidirectional ring networks. A lower bound on the reconstructing bandwidth to recover total original data for each user is proposed, and it is achievable for arbitrary parameters.…
As storage systems grow in size, device failures happen more frequently than ever before. Given the commodity nature of hard drives employed, a storage system needs to tolerate a certain number of disk failures while maintaining data…
This paper studies two crucial problems in the context of coded distributed storage systems directly related to their performance: 1) for a fixed alphabet size, determine the minimum number of servers the system must have for its service…
Optimal locally repairable codes with information locality are considered. Optimal codes are constructed, whose length is also order-optimal with respect to a new bound on the code length derived in this paper. The length of the constructed…
Repairing locality is an appreciated feature for distributed storage, in which a damaged or lost data share can be repaired by accessing a subset of other shares much smaller than is required for decoding the complete data. However for…
We study the problem of erasure correction (node repair) for regenerating codes defined on graphs wherein the cost of transmitting the information to the failed node depends on the graphical distance from this node to the helper vertices of…
Regenerating codes enable trading off repair bandwidth for storage in distributed storage systems (DSS). Due to their distributed nature, these systems are intrinsically susceptible to attacks, and they may also be subject to multiple…
Distributed storage systems for large clusters typically use replication to provide reliability. Recently, erasure codes have been used to reduce the large storage overhead of three-replicated systems. Reed-Solomon codes are the standard…

Locally repairable codes (LRCs) have gained significant interest for the design of large distributed storage systems as they allow a small number of erased nodes to be recovered by accessing only a few others. Several works have thus been…
To recover simultaneous multiple failures in erasure coded storage systems, Patrick Lee et al introduce concurrent repair based minimal storage regenerating codes to reduce repair traffic. The architecture of this approach is simpler and…
In this paper, a new repair scheme for a modified construction of MDS codes is studied. The obtained repair scheme has optimal bandwidth for multiple failed nodes under the cooperative repair model. In addition, the repair scheme has…
