Predominant resources for execution of any application are computational power and memory. On one side, computational power has grown many folds faster than memory capacity. On th...
We address a hierarchical generalization of the well-known disk paging problem. In the hierarchical cooperative caching problem, a set of n machines residing in an ultrametric spa...
