You might want to check on Siva an intellgent fetching system for the web. It was developed by Matt Walsh (Linux) at Cornell University. Try wondering around http://www.cs.cornell.edu Mauricio On Wed, 29 Nov 1995 touch@ISI.EDU wrote: > > I have two ideas which I would like to get some feedback on. > > [...] The second is to implement intelligent pre-fetching for the web. > > > > You might be interested in looking at Venkata Padmanabhan's MS > > thesis from UC Berkeley, available as > > http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~padmanab/papers/masters-tr.ps > > Venkat used a trace-based simulation to investigate the potential > > performance of prefetching.
