Abstract

Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) stores files according to their value. Therefore file valuation is a very important task in the ILM environment. In this paper we look at how the value of a file can be measured. Instead of traditional methods leading to a classical decimal-value, the method presented leads to a valuation in terms of a “probability of further use”. Feasibility of the new method is verified using an ILM simulator.
