Abstract

In this paper, an effective probability-based tile pre-fetching algorithm and a collaborative cache replacement algorithm for Web geographical information systems (Web GISs) are proposed. The proposed tile prefetching algorithm can approximate which tiles will be used in advance based on the global tile access pattern of all users and the semantics of query so that a user request will be answered quickly since the needed tiles are likely in cache database. When a client runs out of cache space for newly down-loaded tiles, the proposed cache replacement algorithm determines which tiles should be replaced based on the future access probabilities. By combining the proposed tile pre-fetching algorithm with the cache replacement algorithm, the response time for user requests can be improved substantially in Web GIS systems.
