In a distributed storage systems (DSS), regenerating codes are used to optimize bandwidth in the repair process of a failed node. To optimize other DSS parameters such as computation and disk I/O, Distributed Replication-based Simple…
Erasure codes have become an integral part of distributed storage systems as a tool for providing data reliability and durability under the constant threat of device failures. In such systems, an $[n, k]$ code over a finite field…

This paper presents an explicit construction of a class of optimal-access, minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes, for small values of the number $d$ of helper nodes. The construction is valid for any parameter set $(n,k,d)$ with $d \in…
Data storage applications require erasure-correcting codes with prescribed sets of dependencies between data symbols and redundant symbols. The most common arrangement is to have $k$ data symbols and $h$ redundant symbols (that each depends…
In distributed storage systems, erasure codes with locality $r$ is preferred because a coordinate can be recovered by accessing at most $r$ other coordinates which in turn greatly reduces the disk I/O complexity for small $r$. However, the…
When a node in a distributed storage system fails, it needs to be promptly repaired to maintain system integrity. While typical erasure codes can provide a significant storage advantage over replication, they suffer from poor repair…
There are multiple performance metrics in the design of coding schemes for distributed storage systems. The first metric is called repair bandwidth, which measures the network resources required during the repair process. Another critical…
Network codes designed specifically for distributed storage systems have the potential to provide dramatically higher storage efficiency for the same availability. One main challenge in the design of such codes is the exact repair problem:…
Cooperative repair model is an available technology to deal with multiple node failures in distributed storage systems. Recently, explicit constructions of cooperative MSR codes were given by Ye (IEEE Transactions on Information Theory,…
Digital contents in large scale distributed storage systems may have different reliability and access delay requirements, and for this reason, erasure codes with different strengths need to be utilized to achieve the best storage…
For high-rate maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, most of them are designed to optimally repair a single failed node by connecting all the surviving nodes. However, in practical systems, sometimes not all the surviving nodes are…
The problem of exact repair of a failed node in multi-hop networked distributed storage systems is considered. Contrary to the most of the current studies which model the repair process by the direct links from surviving nodes to the new…

Cloud storage systems generally add redundancy in storing content files such that $K$ files are replicated or erasure coded and stored on $N > K$ nodes. In addition to providing reliability against failures, the redundant copies can be used…
We consider the problem of designing codes for distributed storage that protect user data against eavesdroppers that can gain access to network links as well as individual nodes. Our goal is to achieve weak security (also known as block…
Fractional repetition (FR) codes is a family of codes for distributed storage systems that allow for uncoded exact repairs having the minimum repair bandwidth. However, in contrast to minimum bandwidth regenerating (MBR) codes, where a…
