As an alternative to downloading content from a cellular access network, mobile devices could be used to store data files and distribute them through device-to-device (D2D) communication. We consider a D2D-based storage community that is…
Re-finding files from a personal computer is a frequent demand to users. When encountered a difficult re-finding task, people may not recall the attributes used by conventional re-finding methods, such as a file's path, file name, keywords…
Many memory institutions hold large collections of hand-held media, which can comprise hundreds of terabytes of data spread over many thousands of data-carriers. Many of these carriers are at risk of significant physical degradation over…
Although every individual invented storage technology made a big step towards perfection, none of them is spotless. Different data store essentials such as performance, availability, and recovery requirements have not met together in a…
Despite file-distribution applications are responsible for a major portion of the current Internet traffic, so far little effort has been dedicated to study file distribution from the point of view of energy efficiency. In this paper, we…
NoSQL databases are widely used for massive data storage and real-time web applications. Yet important aspects of these data structures are not well understood. For example, NoSQL databases write most of their data to a collection of files…
Formulate the problem as follows. Split a file into n pieces so that it can be restored without any m parts (1<=m<=n). Such problems are called problems secret sharing. There exists a set of methods for solving such problems, but they all…
Perfect hash functions can potentially be used to compress data in connection with a variety of data management tasks. Though there has been considerable work on how to construct good perfect hash functions, there is a gap between theory…
Modern developments in digital media technologies has made transmitting and storing large amounts of multi/rich media data (e.g. text, images, music, video and their combination) more feasible and affordable than ever before. However, the…
Growing demand for sustainable logistics and higher space utilization, driven by e-commerce and urbanization, increases the need for storage systems that are both energy- and space-efficient. Compact storage systems aim to maximize space…
To improve the temporal and spatial storage efficiency, researchers have intensively studied various techniques, including compression and deduplication. Through our evaluation, we find that methods such as photo tags or local features help…
Motivated by bursty bandwidth allocation and by the allocation of virtual machines to servers in the cloud, we consider the online problem of packing items with random sizes into unit-capacity bins. Items arrive sequentially, but upon…
Redundant storage maintains the performance of distributed systems under various forms of uncertainty. This paper considers the uncertainty in node access and download service. We consider two access models under two download service…
The importance of content delivery networks (CDN) continues to rise with the exponential increase in the generation and consumption of electronic media. In order to ensure a high quality of experience, CDNs often deploy cache servers that…
Which are the factors underlying human information production on a global level? In order to gain an insight into this question we study a corpus of 252-633 Million publicly available data files on the Internet corresponding to an overall…
Erasure codes have been widely considered a promising solution to enhance data reliability at low storage costs. However, in modern geo-distributed storage systems, erasure codes may incur high data access latency as they require data…
Internet-based personal digital belongings present different vulnerabilities than locally stored materials. We use responses to a survey of people who have recovered lost websites, in combination with supplementary interviews, to paint a…
One of the primary objectives of a distributed storage system is to reliably store large amounts of source data for long durations using a large number $N$ of unreliable storage nodes, each with $c$ bits of storage capacity. Storage nodes…
Storage resources and caching techniques permeate almost every area of communication networks today. In the near future, caching is set to play an important role in storage-assisted Internet architectures, information-centric networks, and…
At the present scenario of the internet, there exist many optimization techniques to improve the Web speed but almost expensive in terms of bandwidth. So after a long investigation on different techniques to compress the data without any…
