The capacity of caching networks has received considerable attention in the past few years. A particularly studied setting is the shared link caching network, in which a single source with access to a file library communicates with multiple…

Any information is valuable as long as it has related data. If related data are not put together, the information is meaningless as unrelated data has no value. The mapped information is required only by authenticated users. So there is no…

Most data generated by modern applications is stored in the cloud, and there is an exponential growth in the volume of jobs to access these data and perform computations using them. The volume of data access or computing jobs can be…

Distributed databases often suffer unequal distribution of data among storage nodes, which is known as `data skew'. Data skew arises from a number of causes such as removal of existing storage nodes and addition of new empty nodes to the…

Consistency in data storage systems requires any read operation to return the most recent written version of the content. In replicated storage systems, consistency comes at the price of delay due to large-scale write and read operations.…
