Function-correcting codes with data protection simultaneously protect both the data and a function of the data at distinct error-correction levels. When the function receives strictly stronger protection than the data, such a code is called…

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…

In the modern era of large-scale computing systems, a crucial use of error correcting codes is to judiciously introduce redundancy to ensure recoverability from failure. To get the most out of every byte, practitioners and theorists have…

We present a novel error correcting code and decoding algorithm which have construction similar to expander codes. The code is based on a bipartite graph derived from the subsumption relations of finite projective geometry, and Reed-Solomon…

We focus on erasure codes for distributed storage. The distributed storage setting imposes locality requirements because of easy repair demands on the decoder. We first establish the characterization of various locality properties in terms…

We propose locally rewritable codes (LWC) for resistive memories inspired by locally repairable codes (LRC) for distributed storage systems. Small values of repair locality of LRC enable fast repair of a single failed node since the lost…

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…

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…
