The SWISS-PROT protein sequence data bank and its supplement TrEMBL in 1999

by Amos Bairoch, Rolf Apweiler - Nucleic Acids Res , 1999
"... SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide a high level of annotation (such as the description of the function of a protein, its domain structure, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with other ..."

with other databases. Recent developments of the database include: cross-references to additional databases; a variety of new documentation files and improvements to TrEMBL, a computer annotated supplement to SWISS-PROT. TrEMBL consists of entries in SWISS-PROT-like format derived from the translation of all

Data Mining: An Overview from Database Perspective

by Ming-syan Chen, Jiawei Hun, Philip S. Yu - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON KNOWLEDGE AND DATA ENGINEERING , 1996
"... Mining information and knowledge from large databases has been recognized by many researchers as a key research topic in database systems and machine learning, and by many industrial companies as an important area with an opportunity of major revenues. Researchers in many different fields have sh ..."

shown great interest in data mining. Several emerging applications in information providing services, such as data warehousing and on-line services over the Internet, also call for various data mining techniques to better understand user behavior, to improve the service provided, and to increase

Chord: A Scalable Peer-to-Peer Lookup Service for Internet Applications

by Ion Stoica, Robert Morris, David Karger, M. Frans Kaashoek, Hari Balakrishnan - SIGCOMM'01 , 2001
"... A fundamental problem that confronts peer-to-peer applications is to efficiently locate the node that stores a particular data item. This paper presents Chord, a distributed lookup protocol that addresses this problem. Chord provides support for just one operation: given a key, it maps the key onto ..."

A message ferrying approach for data delivery in sparse mobile ad hoc networks

by Wenrui Zhao, Mostafa Ammar, Ellen Zegura - In Proc. of ACM Mobihoc , 2004
"... Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) provide rapidly deployable and self-configuring network capacity required in many critical applications, e.g., battlefields, disaster relief and wide area sensing. In this paper we study the problem of efficient data delivery in sparse MANETs where network partitions ..."

Oceanstore: An architecture for global-scale persistent storage

by John Kubiatowicz, David Bindel, Yan Chen, Steven Czerwinski, Patrick Eaton, Dennis Geels, Ramakrishna Gummadi, Sean Rhea, Hakim Weatherspoon, Westley Weimer, Chris Wells, Ben Zhao , 2000
"... OceanStore is a utility infrastructure designed to span the globe and provide continuous access to persistent information. Since this infrastructure is comprised of untrusted servers, data is protected through redundancy and cryptographic techniques. To improve performance, data is allowed to be cac ..."

to be cached anywhere, anytime. Additionally, monitoring of usage patterns allows adaptation to regional outages and denial of service attacks; monitoring also enhances performance through pro-active movement of data. A prototype implementation is currently under development. 1

Live Migration of Virtual Machines

by Christopher Clark, Keir Fraser, Steven H, Jakob Gorm Hansen, Eric Jul, Christian Limpach, Ian Pratt, Andrew Warfield - In Proceedings of the 2nd ACM/USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI , 2005
"... Migrating operating system instances across distinct physical hosts is a useful tool for administrators of data centers and clusters: It allows a clean separation between hardware and software, and facilitates fault management, load balancing, and low-level system maintenance. By carrying out the ma ..."

a practical tool even for servers running interactive loads. In this paper we consider the design options for migrating OSes running services with liveness constraints, focusing on data center and cluster environments. We introduce and analyze the concept of writable working set, and present

Tapestry: An infrastructure for fault-tolerant wide-area location and routing

by Ben Y. Zhao, John Kubiatowicz, Anthony D. Joseph , 2001
"... In today’s chaotic network, data and services are mobile and replicated widely for availability, durability, and locality. Components within this infrastructure interact in rich and complex ways, greatly stressing traditional approaches to name service and routing. This paper explores an alternative ..."

A Delay-Tolerant Network Architecture for Challenged Internets

by Kevin Fall , 2003
"... The highly successful architecture and protocols of today’s Internet may operate poorly in environments characterized by very long delay paths and frequent network partitions. These problems are exacerbated by end nodes with limited power or memory resources. Often deployed in mobile and extreme env ..."

The Google File System

by Sanjay Ghemawat, Howard Gobioff, Shun-tak Leung - ACM SIGOPS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW , 2003
"... We have designed and implemented the Google File System, a scalable distributed file system for large distributed data-intensive applications. It provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware, and it delivers high aggregate performance to a large number of clients. While s ..."

It is widely deployed within Google as the storage platform for the generation and processing of data used by our service as well as research and development efforts that require large

An Architecture for Wide-Area Multicast Routing

by Stephen Deering , Deborah Estrin , Dino Farinacci , Van Jacobson , Ching-gung Liu, Liming Wei
"... Existing multicast routing mechanisms were intended for use within regions where a group is widely represented or bandwidth is universally plentiful. When group members, and senders to those group members, are distributed sparsely across a wide area, these schemes are not efficient; data packets or ..."
