Abstract:
We propose the novel RTPD/MACSC dynamic cache
size tuning approach to shorten the information
retrieval roundtrip time by a SFF (small-form-factor)
client in a pervasive computing environment. By itself
the MACSC (model for adaptive cache size control)
does not compensate for the ill effects due to the
Internet traffic. In the proposed approach, however, the
MACSC is enhanced with the real-time traffic pattern
detection (RTPD) capability. With this support the
MACSC tuner strives to maintain the given hit ratio as
the minimum and reduces the amount of cyber foraging.
In the process the MACSC component self-tunes its
core point-estimate (PE) calculation to neutralize any
ill effects of the traffic pattern currently detected and
identified by the supporting RTPD capability.
