    The data migration problem is the problem of computing an efficient plan for moving data stored on devices in a network from one configuration, or assignment to devices, to another. Such a rearrangement of data might be desirable for load balancing or as usage patterns change. The direct parallel migration problem is related to edge-coloring multigraphs which is NP-complete. More interesting variants of the problem arise when we consider the possibility of indirect parallel migrations, and when we take into account storage constraints on the devices.
