| Abstract | This paper deals with static data management in computer systems connected by networks. A basic functionality in these systems is the interactive use of shared data objects that can be accessed from each computer in the system. Examples for these objects are files in distributed file systems, cache lines in virtual shared memory systems, or pages in the WWW. In the static scenario we are given read and write request frequencies for each computer-object pair. The goal is to calculate a placement of the objects to the memory modules, possibly with redundancy, such that a given cost function is minimized.With the widespread use of commercial networks, as, e.g., the Internet, it is more and more important to consider commercial factors within data management strategies. The goal in previous work was to utilize the available resources, especially the bandwidth, as good as possible. We will present data management strategies for a model in which commercial cost instead of the communication cost are minimized, i.e., we are given a metric communication cost function and a storage cost function.We introduce new deterministic algorithms for the static data management problem on trees and arbitrary networks. Our algorithms aim to minimize the total cost. To our knowledge this is the first analytic treatment of this problem that is NP-hard on arbitrary networks. Our main result is a combinatorial algorithm that calculates a constant factor approximation for arbitrary networks in polynomial time. Further, we present an algorithm for trees that calculates an optimal placement of all objects in X on a tree T = (V, E) in time &Ogr;(¦X¦ · ¦V¦ · diam(T) · log(deg(T))). |

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.
