Abstract

Web portals are emerging Web-based applications that provide a single interface to access different data or service providers. Caching data from different providers at the portal can increase the performance of the system in terms of throughput and user-perceived delay. The portal and its providers can collaborate in order to determine the candidate caching objects. The providers allocate a caching score to each object sent to the portal. The decision for caching an object is made at the portal mainly based on these scores. However, the fact that it is up to providers to calculate such caching scores may lead to inconsistencies between them. The portal should detect these inconsistencies and regulate them in order to achieve a fair and effective caching strategy.
