In this paper, we describe the design and use of Cimetric, a file synchronization application
that supports scholarly collaboration. The system design incorporates results of earlier …

In this paper, we present results of qualitative analysis of interviews with 16 university faculty
regarding their use of file synchronization and sharing technologies in their work and …

As more and more individuals have multiple computing devices, how to maintain the
consistency of user files stored on multiple devices becomes a challenge. Cloud-based file …

We study the problem of maintaining large replicated collections of files or documents in a
distributed environment with limited bandwidth. This problem arises in a number of important …

Nloblle computing devices intended for disconnected operation, such as laptops and
personal organizers, must employ optimistic replication strategi~ for user files. Unlike …

Collaborative working is increasingly popular, but it presents challenges due to the need for
high responsiveness and disconnected work support. To address these challenges the data …

As the number of user-managed devices continues to increase, the need for synchronizing
multiple file hierarchies distributed over devices with ad hoc connectivity, is becoming a …

The trend in parallel computing toward clusters running thousands of cooperating processes
per application has led to an I/O bottleneck that has only gotten more severe as the CPU …

This study deals with the problem of maintaining large hierarchy folder replicated in a
distributed environment. It was found that this problem afflicted a number of important …

Cloud synchronization and sharing services (CS3) for Science, Education and Research
aim at providing new ways of accessing, sharing and interaction with existing data …
