Abstract

Nowadays, many Web sites employ dynamic Web pagesby accessing a back-end database and formatting the resultsinto HTML pages. Performance is one of the issues that today's Web-enabled applications should deal with. Throughput, network bandwidth usage and user-perceived delay aresome of the performance measures. Abandonment of Websites increases if they fail in meeting performance requirements.Caching is one of the key techniques that addressesthe performance of such applications. In this paper, we focuson caching in Web portals, one of the emerging applicationson the Web. Web portals provide a single interfacefor accessing different sources. We study a caching strategybased on the collaboration between portal and providers.Our experimental results show that the collaborative strategyout-performs the existing caching strategies.
