We describe a way to manage distributed file system caches based upon groups of files that
are accessed together. We use file access patterns to automatically construct dynamic …

Large multimedia document archives may hold a major fraction of their data in tertiary
storage libraries for cost reasons. This paper develops an integrated approach to the vertical …

In spite of the rapid decrease in magnetic disk prices, tertiary storage (ie, removable media
in a robotic storage library) is becoming increasingly popular. The fact that so much data can …

Disk array systems are rapidly becoming the secondary-storage media of choice for many
emerging applications with large storage and high bandwidth requirements. Stri** data …

Streaming media servers: state-of-the-art design and applicationsVideo, audio, and other
streaming media (SM) represent the most demanding data types in a wide range of …

The paper presents a general model for estimating access times of serpentine tape drives.
The model is used to schedule I/O requests in order to minimize the total access time. We …

An increasing number of database applications require online access to massive amounts of
data. Since large scale storage systems implemented entirely on magnetic disk can be …

In this paper we address the important problem of data placement in tertiary storage taking
object relationships into account. This work is in contrast to earlier schemes that either focus …

In the present paper, we study the most frequent data placement schemes, ie, the organ-
pipe and camel arrangements, in a mirrored disk system which supports cylinder replication …

Multimedia information systems pose significantly different data management requirements
than traditional database applications. Some of the multimedia data management issues …
