The potential benefits of E2.0 such as improved intraand inter-organisational collaboration and information sharing are now widely acknowledged, however the management of digital information arising from the use of E2.0 technologies is presenting significant issues and challenges. In this paper we report on a research study to identify the issues and challenges associated with E2.0 and digital ...

1 Designing Hierarchical Storage Systems for Interactive On-Demand Video Services S.-H. Gary Chan Fouad A. Tobagi Department of Electrical Engineering Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 Abstract|A hierarchical storage system achieves scalable storage in providing on-demand video services. In such a system, video les are stored in a tertiary level (such as a library or jukebox), and transfer...

We present design and implementation techniques for storage management in main memory database systems. ALTIBASE is the relational main memory DBMS that enables us to develop the high performance and fault tolerant applications requiring predictable response time and high availability. It provides the short and predictable execution time and the storage for the various type of enormous data as ...

This paper describes how database systems can use and exploit a cost-effective active storage hierarchy. By active storage hierarchy we mean a database system that uses all storage media (i.e. optical, tape, and disk) to store and retrieve data and not just disk. We describe and emphasize the active part, whereby all storage types are used to store raw data that is converted to strategic busine...

The challenge of electricity distribution’s upgrade to incorporate new technologies is big, and electric utilities are mandated to work diligently on this agenda, thus making investments to ensure that current networks maintain their electricity supply commitments secure and reliable in face of disruptions and adverse environmental conditions from a variety of sources. The paper presents a new ...
