Abstract

This paper presents a new filing system which dynamically allocates storage based upon the attribute requirements for each file. Thus, we can eliminate the storage overhead associated with the current method which requires using the same number of attributes for all files based upon the maximum number of attributes required for any one file. The new filing system is transparent to the user and its computational overhead is minimal.
