  abstract = {Scalable disk systems are required to implement well-balanced
  computer systems. We have proposed DR-nets, Data-Reconstruction networks, to
  construct the scalable parallel disk systems with high reliability. Each node
  of a DR-net has disks, and is connected by links to form an interconnection
  network. To realize the high reliability, nodes in a sub-network of the
  interconnection network organize a group of parity calculation proposed for
  RAIDs. Inter-node communication for calculating parity keeps the locality of
  data transfer, and it inhibits bottlenecks from occurring, even if the size
  of the network becomes very large. We have developed an experimental system
  using Transputers. In this chapter, we provide execution models for
  estimating the response time and throughput of DR-nets, and compare them to
  experimental results. We also discuss the reliability of the DR-nets and
  RAIDs.},
