Distributed Storage Systems based on Equidistant Subspace Codes

Distributed storage systems based on equidistant constant dimension codes are presented. These equidistant codes are based on the Pl\"{u}cker embedding, which is essential in the repair and the reconstruction algorithms. These systems posses several useful properties such as high failure resilience, minimum bandwidth, low storage, simple algebraic repair and reconstruction algorithms, good locality, and compatibility with small fields

Dagstuhl News January - December 2011

"Dagstuhl News" is a publication edited especially for the members of the Foundation "Informatikzentrum Schloss Dagstuhl" to thank them for their support. The News give a summary of the scientific work being done in Dagstuhl. Each Dagstuhl Seminar is presented by a small abstract describing the contents and scientific highlights of the seminar as well as the perspectives or challenges of the research topic
