In this paper, we present an enhanced, efficient and reliable travel planner named Modified BUSTRAP (BUS TRavel Planner). Modified BUSTRAP can be used for planning a bus travel in two well-known metro cities of India. Locations of buses are recorded at a few instances on the roads through sensors. The Planner finds their current and future locations based on these records. We have considered ch...

Jouppi 4] has proposed that direct-mapped caches should be assisted by victim caches: small, fully-associative caches which reduce connict misses by saving the blocks most recently thrown out of the main cache. Jouppi found that victim-caching worked well for 4KB data caches. Here, we continue this work, studying victim-caching for modern workloads (SPEC95) and larger caches (32{64KB). We nd th...

current investigations indicate different in vitro infection patterns for oka and dumas strains. infection of cells in culture with dumas strain produces lower number of infectious particles while the oka strain is highly infectious in vitro. it is postulated that weak expression of the replication genes in dumas strain may be the reason for the attenuated phenotype. the objective of this stud...

Repetitious access to remote resources, usually data, constitutes a bottleneck for many software systems. Caching is a technique that can drastically improve the performance of any database application, by avoiding multiple read operations for the same data. This paper addresses the caching problems from a pattern perspective. Both Caching and caching strategies, like primed and on demand, are ...

Large-scale data management is a critical problem in a distributed system such as cloud,P2P system, World Wide Web (WWW), and Data Grid. One of the effective solutions is data replicationtechnique, which efficiently reduces the cost of communication and improves the data reliability andresponse time. Various replication methods can be proposed depending on when, where, and howreplicas are gener...

Caching plays a vital role in the performance of any large-scale distributed system and, as the variety and number of Web applications grows, is becoming an increasingly important research topic within the Web community. Existing caching mechanisms are largely transparent to their users and cater for resources which are primarily read-only, offering little support for customisable or complex ca...

As World Wide Web usage has grown dramatically in recent years so has grown the recognition that Web caches especially proxy caches will have an important role in reducing server loads client re quest latencies and network tra c In this survey we present the most common architectures for web caching and their most important characteristics are outlined These architectures include proxy caching ...

Existing techniques for caching Web objects are not appropriate for the multimedia streaming service. In this paper, the authors focus on the proxy caching problem specifically for multimedia streaming objects. A prototype design and implementation of a proxy caching system – HUSTProxy is proposed. The main contribution of HUSTProxy is its ability of partial video caching, sending rate control ...
