Abstract: Search on wide area distributed systems is plagued by the high latencies inherent in remote access. A solution is to prefetch information before it is requested by the searcher to hide latency. But this raises the problem of knowing what to prefetch, since fetching data that will not be used can actually hurt performance. This paper proposes extending the Unix file model to support dynamic sets, short-lived and unordered collections of objects created by searchers to hold the results of... (Update)
