To deliver data-centric cloud computing services heavily relies on data networks between cloud providers and consumer premises. The continuous and rapid growth of data hosted in external private clouds accelerates downstream network-bandwidth saturation and public cloud data-out overspends. The consumer-initiated replication of cloud data to consumer locality is a solution and known as clientside cloud caching. This paper presents the core mechanism of the cloud caching, called Cloud cache replacement policy. Simulations shown that 1) Cloud saved network bandwidth, data-out charge and data loading time; 2) even Clouds performance minima outperformed three well-known web cache replacement policies across all performance metrics for almost all test cases; 3) Cloud importantly attain optimal hit and byte-hit ratios without sacrificing one to the other.

The next-generation 5G cellular networks are designed to support the internet of things (IoT) networks; network components and services are virtualized and run either in virtual machines (VMs) or containers. Moreover, edge clouds (which are closer to end users) are leveraged to reduce end-to-end latency especially for some IoT applications, which require short response time. However, the computational resources are limited in edge clouds. To minimize overall service latency, it is crucial to determine carefully which services should be provided in edge clouds and serve more mobile or IoT devices locally. In this article, we propose a novel service cache framework called S-Cache , which automatically caches popular services in edge clouds. In addition, we design a new cache replacement policy to maximize the cache hit rates. Our evaluations use real log files from Google to form two datasets to evaluate the performance. The proposed cache replacement policy is compared with other policies such as greedy-dual-size-frequency (GDSF) and least-frequently-used (LFU). The experimental results show that the cache hit rates are improved by 39% on average, and the average latency of our cache replacement policy decreases 41% and 38% on average in these two datasets. This indicates that our approach is superior to other existing cache policies and is more suitable in multi-access edge computing environments. In the implementation, S-Cache relies on OpenStack to clone services to edge clouds and direct the network traffic. We also evaluate the cost of cloning the service to an edge cloud. The cloning cost of various real applications is studied by experiments under the presented framework and different environments.

Data caching in mobile clients is an important technique to enhance data availability and improve data access time. Due to cache size limitations, cache replacement policies are used to find a suitable subset of items for eviction from the cache. In this paper, the authors study the issues of cache replacement for location-dependent data under a geometric location model and propose a new cache replacement policy RAAR (Re-entry probability, Area of valid scope, Age, Rate of Access) by taking into account the spatial and temporal parameters. Mobile queries experience a popularity drift where the item loses its popularity after the user exhausts the corresponding service, thus calling for a scenario in which once popular documents quickly become cold (small active sets). The experimental evaluations using synthetic datasets for regular and small active sets show that this replacement policy is effective in improving the system performance in terms of the cache hit ratio of mobile clients.
