Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Operating system
  • Computer network
  • Database

Database, Computer file, Operating system, Torrent file and Unix file types are his primary areas of study. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Database, Directory and Data deduplication is strongly linked to File system. His study in File system fragmentation and File Control Block falls within the category of Computer file.

William J. Bolosky combines subjects such as Kernel and Hybrid kernel with his study of Operating system. His Torrent file study combines topics in areas such as Self-certifying File System and Distributed File System. He has researched Unix file types in several fields, including Versioning file system and File size.

His most cited work include:

  • Farsite: federated, available, and reliable storage for an incompletely trusted environment (925 citations)
  • Mach: A New Kernel Foundation for UNIX Development. (881 citations)
  • Feasibility of a serverless distributed file system deployed on an existing set of desktop PCs (514 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

William J. Bolosky mainly focuses on Operating system, Computer network, Database, Computer file and File system. His work on Operating system deals in particular with Data file, File server, Server, Distributed File System and Stub file. His work carried out in the field of Computer network brings together such families of science as Process, Distributed computing, Set, Real-time computing and Component.

He focuses mostly in the field of Database, narrowing it down to matters related to Directory and, in some cases, Working directory. His research related to Unix file types, Versioning file system, Torrent file, File system fragmentation and File Control Block might be considered part of Computer file. The Versioning file system study which covers Self-certifying File System that intersects with Data deduplication.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Operating system (32.56%)
  • Computer network (25.58%)
  • Database (16.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2019)?

  • Operating system (32.56%)
  • Myeloid leukemia (3.49%)
  • File system (13.95%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

William J. Bolosky spends much of his time researching Operating system, Myeloid leukemia, File system, Immunology and Paxos. The various areas that William J. Bolosky examines in his Operating system study include Ping, Key and Database. His study in Myeloid leukemia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stem cell and Bone marrow.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Versioning file system, File system fragmentation, Computer file and Torrent file. His research investigates the connection between Synchronization and topics such as Computer network that intersect with problems in Software deployment and Anomaly detection. His studies deal with areas such as Unix file types and Distributed File System as well as Self-certifying File System.

Between 2008 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • A study of practical deduplication (282 citations)
  • Faster and More Accurate Sequence Alignment with SNAP (148 citations)
  • A study of practical deduplication (135 citations)
