Internet of Things (IoT) devices play a crucial role in the overall development of IoT in
providing countless applications in various areas. Due to the increasing interest and rapid …

We present BEAT, a set of practical Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) protocols for completely
asynchronous environments. BEAT is flexible, versatile, and extensible, consisting of five …

As Solid-State Drives (SSDs) become commonplace in data-centers and storage arrays,
there is a growing demand for predictable latency. Traditional SSDs, serving block I/Os, fail …

Distributed storage systems are increasingly transitioning to the use of erasure codes since
they offer higher reliability at significantly lower storage costs than data replication. However …

This paper descibes version 2.0 of jerasure, a library in C++ that supports erasure coding in
storage applications. In this paper, we describe both the techniques and algorithms, plus the …

We present CDStore, which disperses users' backup data across multiple clouds and
provides a unified multi-cloud storage solution with reliability, security, and cost efficiency …

We propose repair pipelining, a technique that speeds up the repair performance in general
erasure-coded storage. By carefully scheduling the repair of failed data in small-size units …

Consider a systematic linear code where some (local) parity symbols depend on few
prescribed symbols, whereas other (heavy) parity symbols may depend on all data symbols …

Codes for storage systems aim to minimize the repair locality, which is the number of disks
(or nodes) that participate in the repair of a single failed disk. Simultaneously, the code must …

Nowadays, more and more enterprises and organizations are hosting their data into the
cloud, in order to reduce the IT maintenance cost and enhance the data reliability. However …
