Caching in mobile environments is used for improving bandwidth usage and reducing query delays among resource constrained devices. It is used in multitudes of approaches. Some rely on the server occasionally broadcasting reports to inform clients of updated data while others permit clients to access data whenever they need it. Caching can be constrained by size and bandwidth; thus, coming up with a good invalidation scheme is critical in improving cache consistency solutions. In this work, the authors propose a new hybrid cache invalidation scheme that makes use of data mining concepts. They also compare their scheme with other related strategies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
