A scalable distributed information management system
272 Citations2004Praveen Yalagandula, Mike Dahlin
This work designs, implements and evaluates a Scalable Distributed Information Management System (SDIMS) that leverages Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) to create scalable aggregation trees, achieves isolation properties at the cost of modestly increased read latency in comparison to flat DHTs, and gracefully handles failures.
