Abstract

Object correlations are common semantic patterns in virtual environments. They can be exploited to improve the effectiveness of storage caching, prefetching, data layout, and disk scheduling. However, we have little approaches for discovering object correlations in VE to improve the performance of storage systems. Being an interactive feedback-driven paradigm, it is critical that the user receives responses to his navigation requests with little or no time lag. Therefore, we propose a class of view-based projection-generation method for mining various frequent sequential traversal patterns in the virtual environments. The frequent sequential traversal patterns are used to predict the user navigation behavior and, through clustering scheme, help to reduce disk access time with proper patterns placement into disk blocks. Finally, the effectiveness of these schemes is shown through simulation to demonstrate how these proposed techniques not only significantly cut down disk access time, but also enhance the accuracy of data prefetching.
