Introduction -- Background Information -- Artificial Neural Networks -- A Quantitative Study of Web Cache Replacement Strategies using Simulation -- Web Proxy Cache Replacement Scheme Based on Back Propagation Neural Network -- Implementation of a Neural Network Proxy Cache Replacement Strategy in the Squid Proxy Server.

Sommario/riassunto

This work presents a study of cache replacement strategies designed for static web content. Proxy servers can improve performance by caching static web content such as cascading style sheets, java script source files, and large files such as images. This topic is particularly important in wireless ad hoc networks, in which mobile devices act as proxy servers for a group of other mobile devices. Opening chapters present an introduction to web requests and the characteristics of web objects, web proxy servers and Squid, and artificial neural networks. This is followed by a comprehensive review of cache replacement strategies simulated against different performance metrics. The work then describes a novel approach to web proxy cache replacement that uses neural networks for decision making, evaluates its performance



and decision structures, and examines its implementation in a real environment, namely, in the Squid proxy server.

Sommario/riassunto

Maine: An Annotated Bibliography is a look at the Maine Experience from its historical, political, social, and literary perspectives. It provides



readers an overview of over four hundred books written about Maine, including the perspective which they provide. Topics such as ""The Wild, Wild East,"" ""Ethnicity Matters,"" ""Women in Maine,"" and ""Maine in the Civil War"" stimulate the imagination and provide the most comprehensive synopsis of writing about Maine available.
