Repetitious access to remote resources, usually data, constitutes a bottleneck for many software systems. Caching is a technique that can drastically improve the performance of any database application, by avoiding multiple read operations for the same data. This paper addresses the caching problems from a pattern perspective. Both Caching and caching strategies, like primed and on demand, are ...

Caching plays a vital role in the performance of any large-scale distributed system and, as the variety and number of Web applications grows, is becoming an increasingly important research topic within the Web community. Existing caching mechanisms are largely transparent to their users and cater for resources which are primarily read-only, offering little support for customisable or complex ca...

Caching is a well-known strategy for improving the performance of Web-based systems. The heart of a caching system is its page replacement policy, which selects the pages to be replaced in a cache when a request arrives. In this paper, we present a Web-log mining method for caching Web objects and use this algorithm to enhance the performance of Web caching systems. In our approach, we develop ...

As World Wide Web usage has grown dramatically in recent years so has grown the recognition that Web caches especially proxy caches will have an important role in reducing server loads client re quest latencies and network tra c In this survey we present the most common architectures for web caching and their most important characteristics are outlined These architectures include proxy caching ...

Data Caching is widely used to improve the performance of multimedia systems. Even though Several caching schemes have been proposed for multimedia systems, they only try to improve the cache hit ratio. Since the continuous-media servers should guarantee hiccup-free services, a high cache hit ratio alone does not capture the eeectiveness of a caching scheme. We rst show that the conventional mu...

Existing techniques for caching Web objects are not appropriate for the multimedia streaming service. In this paper, the authors focus on the proxy caching problem specifically for multimedia streaming objects. A prototype design and implementation of a proxy caching system – HUSTProxy is proposed. The main contribution of HUSTProxy is its ability of partial video caching, sending rate control ...
