  abstract = {With a view to improving the performance and the fault tolerance
  of mass storage units, this paper concentrates on the architectural issues of
  parallelizing I/O access and a disk array system by means of definition of a
  new, particularly flexible architecture, called Partial Dynamic Declustering,
  which is fault-tolerant and offers higher levels of performance and
  reliability than the solutions normally used. A fast distributed algorithm
  based on a dynamic structure and usable for the implementation of an
  efficient I/O subsystem manager is proposed. Particular attention is also
  paid to the definition of analytical models based on Stochastic Reward Petri
  nets in order to analyze the performance and reliability of the system
  proposed.}
