Abstract
We present a general framework for the development of on-line algorithms for data management in networks. These algorithms dynamically create and delete copies of shared data objects that can be read or written by the nodes in the network. Our algorithms aim to minimize the congestion (i.e., the maximum communication load over all network resources) while respecting memory capacity constraints, so that none of the links in the network become a communication bottleneck.
This work is conducted as part of the project A2 “Universal Basic Services” of the SFB 376 “Massively Parallel Computing: Algorithms, Design Methods, Applications”.
Supported by DFG-Sonderforschungsbereich 376 “Massively Parallel Computing: Algorithms, Design Methods, Applications“.
