Abstract

This paper proposes a cache management method that manages the cache content by pre-fetching data items with maximum prefetch score and evicting cache data items with minimum replacement score. The strategy is to pre-fetch the most probable secondary services based on user's query pattern. The client cache is partitioned into three sections to place and replace the items. Association rule mining is used for determining the items that should be pre-fetched. Dual Valid Scopes are used to invalidate the prefetched items based on their age. A replacement policy is designed which takes into account the age of the items, access probability and distance between the mobile client and the service item which suits a pre-fetching environment. The experimental evaluations using synthetic datasets show the cache pre-fetch and replacement policy are effective in improving the system performance in terms of the cache hit ratio of mobile clients.
