Abstract:
Web portal is a term used to describe a website which collect contents from various sources, aggregate them and present them to clients. To improve their performance, web portals have used traditional techniques, including web caching mechanisms used by static and dynamic websites. However these techniques do not provide the same level of performance gain to web portals since the web portal model differs from traditional website in different ways, both in terms of technology used and user access patterns. In this report the model for web portals is described and simulation is used to assess the efficiency of web caching algorithms on web portals. Finally, a new agent based mechanism is presented and evaluated to show how the use of user access patterns can be used to improve the cache performance of webportals.
