| dc.description.abstract | This paper describes the research that was undertaken in designing a disk space management system. The system has strong similarities to the management of real storage in a virtual storage environment. These similarities were exploited in the design and evaluation of algorithms for implementation of the system. Research was based on modelling the system with historical data during the design phase. Research was conducted in three phases. Firstly, in determining actual historical disk space requirements quantitatively. Secondly, in modelling the proposed system with historical data to verify an observation that most users use the computer intermittently. Thirdly, in modelling the proposed system with historical data to evaluate alternative disk management policies. The system was implemented and actual performance monitored against research results to validate conclusions. | en |
