| Abstract | We introduce the Read-Write-Coding-System (RWC), a very flexible class of linear block codes that generate efficient and flexible erasure codes for storage networks. In particular, given a message $\textit{x}$ of $\textit{k}$ symbols and a codeword $\textit{y}$ of $\textit{n}$ symbols, an RW code defines additional parameters k≤ r,w≤ n that offer enhanced possibilities to adjust the fault-tolerance capability of the code. More precisely, an RWC provides linear $\textit{(n,r,d)}-codes$ that have: (a) minimum (Hamming) distance d = n-r+1 for any two codewords, and (b) for any codeword $y_{1}$ there exists a codeword $y_{2}$ with distance of at most $\textit{w}.$ Furthermore, depending on the values $\textit{r,w}$ and the code alphabet, different block codes such as parity codes (e.g., RAID 4/5) or Reed-Solomon (RS) codes (if r = k and thus, w = n) can be generated. In storage networks in which I/O accesses are very costly and redundancy is crucial, this flexibility has considerable advantages as $\textit{r}$ and $\textit{w}$ can optimally be adapted to read or write intensive applications; only $\textit{w}$ symbols must be updated if the message $\textit{x}$ changes completely, which is different from other codes that always need to rewrite $\textit{y}$ completely as $\textit{x}$ changes. In this article, we first state a tight lower bound and basic conditions for all RW codes. Furthermore, we introduce special RW codes in which all mentioned parameters are adjustable even online, that is, RW codes which are adaptive to changing demands. At last, we investigate the question for which choices of $\textit{(k,r,w,n)}$ a coding system exists over the binary alphabet $F_{2}$ = {0,1} and discuss how RW codes can be combined. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
