A typical composite hypermedia and the rendering rate functions of components.

Optimized Prefetch for Composite Hypermedia

The caching or prefetching techniques those have been studies consider a web-resource as a single monolithic document and do not consider document types or its internal composition.

 

 

However, today’s web-pages are composite hypermedia- rather than flat hypertext. Complex pages with multiple embedded entities of various modalities such as applets, banners, audio, video clips, are now ubiquitous in the modern sites- particularly in performance sensitive web sites.

 

Most previous pre-fetching techniques have been designed and validated only for hypertext, while in the mean time the web has transformed itself into composite hypermedia. 

 

In this research we study the issue of composite hypermedia prefetch. We demonstrate another analytically optimum technique for prefetch and caching scheduling based on the rendering constraint of the components of composite hypermedia including multimedia and deferred rendered contents.

 

This research is currently being sponsored by the Ohio Board of Regents.
