Pending CS 137 Papers

The following is a list of papers that have been suggested for reading in CS 137. We are unlikely to read every paper in the list, we will not read them in the order here, and we might read slightly different versions than are listed here. Also, the citations are often incomplete; the information here is usually just what was submitted.

Possible Papers

The list is currently sorted by order of suggestion.

• TBA
• Schroeder and Gibson. Disk failures in the real world: What does an MTTF of 1,000,000 hours mean to you? FAST '07. (Gavin)
• Corbett et al. Row-Diagonal Parity for Double Disk Failure Correction, FAST '04. (Gavin)
• Conway et al. File Systems Fated For Senescence? Nonsense, Says Science!, FAST '18 (Kate).

Papers We Won't Be Reading

To save you time suggesting duplicates, these papers have previously been suggested but I have declined them for the given reasons:

• Vorick and Champine. Sia: Simple Decentralized Storage, White Paper, Nebulous Inc. [Too short and insufficient detail; authors are unaware of important related work.]
• Chen et al. An improved P2P File System Scheme based on IPFS and Blockchain, 2017 IEEE International Conference on Big Data. [Too short and insufficient detail; English is hard to read.]
• Bonwick et al. The Zettabyte File System, Technical Report, Sun Microsystems. [Paper gives too few details about how it works.]
