Abstract

In this paper we propose a fully distributed storage system for everyday hand-held mobile devices, e.g., smartphones and tablets, that follows a best effort approach to ensure data persistence and availability even in the presence of churn (i.e., the unpredictable arrival and departure of nodes).
