The CFS is designed using the end-to-end argument; the basic file system attributes, therefore, are independent of the user requirements. The CFS is designed as a functionally compositional, structurally distributed, and dynamically extendable file system. The article also discusses the advantages and implementation alternatives for these file systems, and outlines possible applications.} } @Article{muntz:intro, author = {Richard R.
