Opportunities for Continuous Tuning in a Global Scale File System Abstract: Peer-to-peer systems such as OceanStore spread data across a very large geographic extent. They have routing systems with many degrees of freedom, caching systems which can place data in thousands or millions of locations, archival systems that must adapt to a variety of circumstances. Amidst all of these degrees of freedom, these systems must still deal with constrained resources. In this talk, I will describe some of the design principles of OceanStore and illustrate how autonomic computing ideas are essential to the care and feeding of this system.  John Kubiatowicz - Bio John Kubiatowicz: Assistant Professor, EECS Department, University of California, Berkeley kubitron@cs.berkeley.edu Web Site: http://oceanstore.org Professor John Kubiatowicz is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of California at Berkeley. He received his Ph.D. from MIT in January of 1998 where he was one of the principle architects of the Alewife Multiprocessor. At Berkeley, he is the architect of the OceanStore global-scale distributed Storage system. His interests include security, privacy, and resilience to faults and denial of service attacks in Internet-scale systems. Other interests include practical applications of Quantum Computing and Autonomic Computer systems.
