The goal of autonomic storage allocation is to achieve allocation of storage resources, their performance monitoring, and hotspot elimination by specifying comparatively high-level goals, rather than by means of low-level manual steps. The process of automation should allow specification of policies as administrator specified constraints under which the resources are managed. This paper describ...

The report summarises the latest independent scientific evidence on the use of dedicated electricity storage in electricity grids, explains potential impacts on electricity markets of recent and expected developments in storage technologies, and highlights what could be done through electricity market design, energy policy and investment support to ensure that grid-connected storage is used eff...

This paper presents PADS, a policy architecture for building distributed storage systems. A policy architecture has two aspects. First, a common set of mechanisms that allow new systems to be implemented simply by defining new policies. Second, a structure for how policies, themselves, should be specified. In the case of distributed storage systems, PADS defines a data plane that provides a fix...

In a large-scale cluster system with many applications running on it, cluster-wide I/O access workload disparity and disk saturation on only some storage servers have been the severe performance bottleneck that deteriorates the system I/O performance. As a result, the system response time will increase and the throughput of the system will decrease drastically. In this paper, we present a load-...

Using data mining techniques, this study attempts to explore how a proper layout zoning following class-based storage enhances order picking efficiency over randomized storage. Association web statistics and association rule mining examines the relative intensity levels among various product categories. These findings serve as the layout for zoning of the storage area of α company, a pharmaceut...
