The Fourth Web Caching Workshop
----------------------------------------
http://www.ircache.net/Cache/Workshop99/
This is the fourth year for the Web Caching Workshop. Not unlike the
Internet itself, interest and participation in the Caching Workshops has
doubled every year since the first was held in 1996. The 1999 workshop is
being organized by NLANR and CAIDA, and will be held at the University of
California in San Diego.
All submitted papers will be formally refereed by a program committee. The
selected papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, and the
authors will be invited to make a 20-minute presentation of their work.
Papers which are not selected for publication may be invited for
presentation as posters or as "works in progress."
Subject Areas For the Workshop
-------------------------------
Papers are invited on all matters related to caching. The particular areas
of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Legal, social, and economic issues.
* Inter-cache communication techniques and protocols.
* Tools and techniques for analyzing and improving cache performance.
* Experiences in implementing caches on local, regional, or a national
scale.
* Algorithms for reducing end-user latencies; e.g. prefetching.
* Caching software.
* Caching hardware.
* Benefits of caching, user experiences, views, requirements etc.
