Scale and performance in a distributed file system
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1988
"... The Andrew File System is a location-transparent distributed tile system that will eventually span more than 5000 workstations at Carnegie Mellon University. Large scale affects performance and complicates system operation. In this paper we present observations of a prototype implementation, motivat ..."

Oceanstore: An architecture for global-scale persistent storage
, 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 ..."

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints
, 2003
"... This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images, which can be used to perform reliable matching between different images of an object or scene. The features are invariant to image scale and rotation, and are shown to provide robust matching across a a substa ..."

Range-Free Localization Schemes for Large Scale Sensor Networks
, 2003
"... Wireless Sensor Networks have been proposed for a multitude of location-dependent applications. For such systems, the cost and limitations of hardware on sensing nodes prevent the use of range-based localization schemes that depend on absolute point-to-point distance estimates. Because coarse accura ..."

We compare our work via extensive simulation, with three state-of-the-art range-free localization schemes to identify the preferable system configurations of each. In addition
Network Coding for Large Scale Content Distribution
"... We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate and transmit encoded blocks of information. The randomization introduced by the coding process eases the scheduling of bloc ..."

We study the performance of network coding in heterogeneous networks with dynamic node arrival and departure patterns, clustered topologies, and when incentive mechanisms to discourage free
Image denoising using a scale mixture of Gaussians in the wavelet domain
- IEEE TRANS IMAGE PROCESSING
, 2003
"... We describe a method for removing noise from digital images, based on a statistical model of the coefficients of an overcomplete multiscale oriented basis. Neighborhoods of coefficients at adjacent positions and scales are modeled as the product of two independent random variables: a Gaussian vecto ..."

Tapestry: A Resilient Global-scale Overlay for Service Deployment
- IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
, 2004
"... We present Tapestry, a peer-to-peer overlay routing infrastructure offering efficient, scalable, locationindependent routing of messages directly to nearby copies of an object or service using only localized resources. Tapestry supports a generic Decentralized Object Location and Routing (DOLR) API ..."

Mining Sequential Patterns: Generalizations and Performance Improvements
- RESEARCH REPORT RJ 9994, IBM ALMADEN RESEARCH
, 1995
"... The problem of mining sequential patterns was recently introduced in [3]. We are given a database of sequences, where each sequence is a list of transactions ordered by transaction-time, and each transaction is a set of items. The problem is to discover all sequential patterns with a user-specified ..."

GSP scales linearly with the number of data-sequences, and has very good scale-up properties with respect to the average data-sequence size.
Understanding packet delivery performance in dense wireless sensor networks
, 2003
"... Wireless sensor networks promise fine-grain monitoring in a wide variety of environments. Many of these environments (e.g., indoor environments or habitats) can be harsh for wireless communication. From a networking perspective, the most basic aspect of wireless communication is the packet delivery ..."

In this paper, we report on a systematic medium-scale (up to sixty nodes) measurement of packet delivery in three
The dynamic behavior of a data dissemination protocol for network programming at scale
- In Proceedings of the Second International Conferences on Embedded Network Sensor Systems (SenSys

To support network programming, we present Deluge, a reliable data dissemination protocol for propagating large data objects from one or more source nodes to many other nodes over a multihop, wireless sensor network. Deluge builds from prior work in density-aware, epidemic maintenance protocols. Usi ..."

. Using both a real-world deployment and simulation, we show that Deluge can reliably disseminate data to all nodes and characterize its overall performance. On Mica2dot nodes, Deluge can push nearly 90 bytes/second, oneninth the maximum transmission rate of the radio supported under TinyOS. Control
