Abstract

In order to increase flexibility and provide up-to-date information, more and more web sites use dynamic content. This practice, however, increases server load dramatically, since each request results to code execution, which may involve processing and/or access to information repositories. In this paper we present a scheme for maintaining a server-side cache of dynamically generated pages, allowing for cache consistency maintenance, without placing heavy burdens on application programmers. We also present insights to architecture scalability and some results obtained from conducted experiments.
