e-Caching

Participants : Dàmian Serrano, Sara Bouchenak [correspondant] .

e-Caching  is a software framework for higher scalability of multi-tier Internet services through end-to-end caching of dynamic data. It provides a novel caching solution that allows to cache different types of data (e.g. Web content, database query results, etc.), at different locations of multi-tier Internet services. The framework allows to combine different caches and, thus, to provide higher scalability of Internet services. e-Caching  maintains the integrity of the cached data through novel distributed caching algorithms that guarantee the consistency of the underlying data.
