Keyword based categorisation of diary entries to support personal Internet content pre-caching on mobile devices

Towards a model for an Internet content pre-caching agent for small computing devices

In the near future Internet access will be commonly available in two forms to most palmtops: wide bandwidth of a low-cost land-based connection while docked, and limited capacity expensive wireless connections while mobile. The coming 3G networks will help the bandwidth but the disparity of connection cost and bandwidth between docked and undocked devices will continue. This paper proposes a mo...

Calendar based Contextual Information as an Internet Content Pre-Caching Tool

Motivated by the need to access internet content on mobile devices with expensive or non-existent network access, this paper discusses the possibility for contextual information extracted from electronic calendars to be used as sources for Internet content predictive retrieval (pre-caching). Our results show that calendar based contextual information is useful for this purpose and that calendar...

Intelligent content caching for mobile devices

Newer mobile devices are equipped with multiple network interfaces that can be used to preemptively download multimedia content in an efficient and cost effective manner. We propose a content selection algorithm for such push-based multimedia content caching scenarios. Our approach improves cache hit rates by exploiting correlations between users who request similar content: we use this informa...

Intelligent Caching Management System

In the upcoming world of Pervasive Computing, users are accessing information sources by a huge variety of mobile devices featuring heterogeneous capabilities. Those devices are attached to the Internet by various communication systems offering different quality of service. The key to meet the demands in this heterogeneous environment is the adaptation of contents to the capabilities of the dev...
