Retrieval Performance Versus Disc Space Utilization on WORM Optical Discs

Summary: Buffering for WORM discs to enable on-line insertions while preserving archival integrity. Presents a buffered hash-file scheme and an EV-based model for retrieval-space trade-offs, clarifying replication effects and generalizing to other buffered WORM systems.
