Simulating the Effect of Preservation Actions on Repository Evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the most important challenges in planning and maintaining a digital repository is to predict the needed resources on a long term basis, especially storage size and processing power. The main problem emerges from the need to migrate the data at certain times to newer file types, which takes time and alters the needed storage space, potentially branching into several migration paths for individual objects. Understanding the effect of different policy decisions, such as when to migrate or whether to stay within a format family or branching into several format families turns into a complex task, specifically when considering non-trivial ingest structures and assumptions on format evaluations. In this paper we present ReproSim, a framework that simulates the evolution of a digital repository and helps predicting these factors. We demonstrate the complexity and power of simulation to assist in preservation decisions in a set of scenarios involving different ingest and preservation planning profiles.

Connecting Preservation Planning And Plato With Digital Repository Interfaces
An accepted digital preservation workflow is emerging in which file formats are identified and those believed to be at risk are migrated to what are perceived to be less risky formats. This raises important questions about what to convert and when, if at all. In other words, how to connect file identification and migration. This area has become known as preservation planning, and seeks to take ...

متن کاملBuoyancy Term Evolution in the Multi Relaxation Time Model of Lattice Boltzmann Method with Variable Thermal Conductivity Using a Modified Set of Boundary Conditions
During the last few years, a number of numerical boundary condition schemes have been used to study various aspects of the no-slip wall condition using the lattice Boltzmann method. In this paper, a modified boundary condition method is employed to simulate the no-slip wall condition in the presence of the body force term near the wall. These conditions are based on the idea of the bounce-back ...
