Content-integration systems generally suffer performance bottlenecks due to network overhead. To address this problem, the authors developed the Data Integration Cache Engine (DICE), which uses summarization techniques (subqueries and Bloom filters) and semantic metadata to achieve semantic active caching in the context of Internet-based data integration applications. The system uses algorithms and specialized data structures to generate exact remainder queries to locate content that is missing from cache in case of partial hits.The authors' performance results indicate that DICE outperforms existing options in terms of response time, network overhead, and server load.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
