A Scalable System for Consistently Caching Dynamic Web Data (original) (raw)

Update propagation strategies for improving the quality of data on the web

2001

Abstract: Dynamically generated web pages are ubiquitous today but their high demand for resources creates a huge scalability problem at the servers. Traditional web caching is not able to solve this problem since it cannot provide any guarantees as to the freshness of the cached data. A robust solution to the problem is web materialization, where pages are cached at the web server and constantly updated in the background, resulting in fresh data accesses on cache hits.

A study on web caching architectures and performance

2001

Abstract 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 request latencies, and network traffic. In this survey we present the most common architectures for web caching and their most important characteristics are outlined. These architectures include proxy caching, cooperative caching, adaptive caching, push caching and active caching.
