Project Overview
Uno is a privacy-aware distributed storage and replication middleware for various types of computation platform, such as smartphone, tablet, laptop and desktop. It puts the user data's privacy at the first consideration, and Uno proposes the idea that split data content and meta-data which data content is stored in user's personal devices and meta-data can be stored in cloud. In this way, Uno preserves data privacy. In addition, Uno abstracts data as objects so that Uno can handle more than just documents and photos, but sensors as well. On the other hand, Uno provides a statsitical replication strategy that guarantee the data availability from a user's personal devices. The replication strategy is from a thorough data analysis of data usage and device accessible patterns from the Livelab data set.
Uno's prototype has been implemented on Android smartphone. Two case studies Uno@Home and Uno@Sense are integreted into the Android application. The replication strategy validation is conducted through the data set and implemented in Python.
