Proxies are commonly used to cache objects, especially multimedia objects, so that clients can enjoy better quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees such as smaller startup latency and...
In this paper, we derive an analytical model for the evaluation of the performance of a Video on Demand (VoD) system. The model estimates the mean waiting time achievable by the P...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to enhancing web proxy caching, an approach that integrates content management with performance tuning techniques. We first develop a hie...
Authenticating mobile computing users can require a significant amount of processing and communications resources— particularly when protocols based on public key encryption are...
Abstract. Streaming media workloads have a number of desirable properties that make them good candidates for caching via proxy systems. The content does not get modified, and acce...
