Toward a Semantic Cache Supporting Version-Based Consistency

Abstract

In an era of mobile internet and big data, how to make the data access more efficient is worth researching because the mobile computing environments have some limitations such as the narrow bandwidth, the frequent disconnections of network and so on. To improve the response time of query, a good cache system is of vital importance. Besides, a good cache consistency method is essential to ensure the correctness. In this paper, a semantic cache supporting version-based consistency is proposed. This cache mainly have two advantages. On one hand, it can obviously improve the response time of query and the hit ratio of the cache. On the other hand, the version-based consistency enhances the stability of the system especially in high-concurrency situations. Several experiments has been carried out and the results are presented to show the performance of the cache.
