gany_paper.ps is an "as-published" pre-print of our paper for the 1998 USENIX LISA conference, which was held December 6 through the 11th, 1998 in Boston, MA. The paper is a high-level overview of the Ganymede system, and is probably a very good thing for people interested in Ganymede to read to get oriented with what Ganymede is all about, and how it can be adapted. Note that a great many things have changed in Ganymede since this paper was written and presented. All of Ganymede's extensive XML systems are new since the paper was written, as is Ganymede's shipping with SSL support. The paper is probably still the best overall introduction out there, though.
