Abstract

The design of Distributed Storage Systems involves many challenges due to the fact that the users and storage nodes are physically dispersed. In this doctoral consortium paper, we present a framework for boosting the concurrent access to large shared data objects (such as files), while maintaining strong consistency guarantees. In the heart of the framework lies a fragmentation strategy, which enables different updates to occur on different fragments of the object concurrently, while ensuring that all modifications are valid.

The work is supported in part by the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation under the grant agreement POST-DOC/0916/0090 (COLLABORATE).
