Regenerating codes provide an efficient way to recover data at failed nodes in distributed storage systems. It has been shown that regenerating codes can be designed to minimize the per-node storage (called MSR) or minimize the…
We consider a distributed storage system with $n$ nodes, where a user can recover the stored file from any $k$ nodes, and study the problem of repairing $r$ partially failed nodes. We consider \textit{broadcast repair}, that is, $d$…
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…
This paper presents an explicit construction for an $((n,k,d=n-1), (\alpha,\beta))$ regenerating code over a field $\mathbb{F}_Q$ operating at the Minimum Storage Regeneration (MSR) point. The MSR code can be constructed to have rate $k/n$…
Coded computing has emerged as a promising framework for tackling significant challenges in large-scale distributed computing, including the presence of slow, faulty, or compromised servers. In this approach, each worker node processes a…
In distributed storage systems reliability is achieved through redundancy stored at different nodes in the network. Then a data collector can reconstruct source information even though some nodes fail. To maintain reliability, an autonomous…
Regenerating codes (RCs) can significantly reduce the repair-bandwidth of distributed storage networks. Initially, the analysis of RCs was based on the assumption that during the repair process, the newcomer does not distinguish (among all…
Generalized Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are a common choice for efficient, reliable error correction in memory and communications systems. These codes add $2t$ extra parity symbols to a block of memory, and can efficiently and reliably correct…
A new system model reflecting the clustered structure of distributed storage is suggested to investigate interplay between storage overhead and repair bandwidth as storage node failures occur. Large data centers with multiple racks/disks or…
We consider the rack-aware storage system where \(n\) nodes are organized in \(\bar{n}\) racks each containing \(u\) nodes, and any \(k\) nodes can retrieve the stored file. Moreover, any single node erasure can be recovered by downloading…
The amount of digital data is rapidly growing. There is an increasing use of a wide range of computer systems, from mobile devices to large-scale data centers, and important for reliable operation of all computer systems is mitigating the…
In large-scale distributed storage systems (DSS), reliability is provided by redundancy spread over storage servers across the Internet. Network coding (NC) has been widely studied in DSS because it can improve the reliability with low…

Erasure codes are being increasingly used in distributed-storage systems in place of data-replication, since they provide the same level of reliability with much lower storage overhead. We consider the problem of constructing explicit…
The repair problem in distributed storage addresses recovery of the data encoded using an erasure code, for instance, a Reed-Solomon (RS) code. We consider the problem of repairing a single node or multiple nodes in RS-coded storage systems…
Locally repairable convolutional codes (LRCCs) for distributed storage systems (DSSs) are introduced in this work. They enable local repair, for a single node erasure (or more generally, $ \partial - 1 $ erasures per local group), and…
Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are optimal error-correcting codes in the sense that they provide the maximum failure-tolerance for a given number of parity nodes. Suppose that an MDS code with $k$ information nodes and $r=n-k$…
