My scholarly pursuits are rooted in enhancing the resilience and efficiency of distributed storage systems through the innovative application of network coding. I am particularly fascinated by the transformative potential of network coding to significantly bolster the robustness and performance of storage mechanisms, ensuring more reliable and scalable data storage solutions.
Parallel to this, I am devoted to the advancement of Information-Centric Networking (ICN) protocols, with a special focus on the Internet Protocol File System (IPFS) and Named Data Networking (NDN). My research aims at refining these protocols to optimize data retrieval processes, improve data dissemination efficiency, and strengthen the overall resilience of distributed networks. Through my work, I strive to contribute to the evolution of ICN, making it a cornerstone for the next generation of internet architecture, where content accessibility and network efficiency are paramount.

Moving content closer to the end user is already used in Content Delivery Networks (CDN). Mobile Edge Cloud (MEC) enables us to shift the content even closer by using the storage of end users. But, due to the large media files, storage and transport costs for peers increase significantly. Network Coding can reduce these costs. However, peers in CDNs tend to be highly fluctuating and often need to be restored, making continuous availability of data at the network edge a problem. While for uncoded data, individual packets lost due to peer failures can be tracked to determine availability, the availability of coded data is currently distinguished only in two cases: either there are still enough linearly independent packets to decode the file, or there are not. However, we have found that the network's combined coded cache loses quality over time due to recovery. This quality loss, which we refer to as grade, can be measured by very cost-effective monitoring. If the grade falls below a certain limit, we can intervene in the network by performing a cache refresh to prevent data becoming unavailable preemptively. In this paper, we present the cases in which such monitoring is useful, how the grade is calculated, and when a cache refresh is necessary. The results show that we can reduce network traffic by up to 34 % with minimal storage costs through efficient monitoring.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }
