Abstract:

In cooperative cache research domain, most of previous work engage in peer-to-peer systems and distributed systems, but do not involve applying cooperative semantic cache in mobile computing environments, which wireless communications disconnect at times and clients move frequently. In this paper, we extend the general semantic cache mechanism by enabling mobile clients to share their local semantic caches in a cooperative matter, and the process way and flow chart of the algorithm are described in detail. In addition, we discuss the methods used in cache consistence maintenance, which focus on confirm receiver of the periodic cache invalidation report and the process of validate client’s local cache. The experiment results indicate cooperative semantic cache mechanism could reduce query response time and increase cache hit ratio effectively.
