Online caching is among the most fundamental and well-studied problems in the area of online algorithms. Innovative algorithmic ideas and analysis -- including potential functions and primal-dual techniques -- give insight into this…
This paper focuses on similarity caching systems, in which a user request for an {object~$o$} that is not in the cache can be (partially) satisfied by a similar stored {object~$o'$}, at the cost of a loss of user utility. Similarity caching…
Caching (also known as paging) is a classical problem concerning page replacement policies in two-level memory systems. General caching is the variant with pages of different sizes and fault costs. We give the first NP-hardness result for…
We study the block-aware caching problem, a generalization of classic caching in which fetching (or evicting) pages from the same block incurs the same cost as fetching (or evicting) just one page from the block. Given a cache of size $k$,…
Caching is a technique to reduce peak traffic rates by prefetching popular content into memories at the end users. Conventionally, these memories are used to deliver requested content in part from a locally cached copy rather than through…
This work studies the coded caching problem in a setting where the users are simultaneously endowed with a private cache and a shared cache. The setting consists of a server connected to a set of users, assisted by a smaller number of…
We investigate the demand private coded caching problem, which is an $(N,K)$ coded caching problem with $N$ files, $K$ users, each equipped with a cache of size $M$, and an additional privacy constraint on user demands, i.e., each user can…
Effective caching is crucial for the performance of modern-day computing systems. A key optimization problem arising in caching -- which item to evict to make room for a new item -- cannot be optimally solved without knowing the future.…
We consider the classical uncoded caching problem from an online learning point-of-view. A cache of limited storage capacity can hold $C$ files at a time from a large catalog. A user requests an arbitrary file from the catalog at each time…
We consider a variant of the online caching problem where the items exhibit dependencies among each other: an item can reside in the cache only if all its dependent items are also in the cache. The dependency relations can form any directed…
Replicating or caching popular content in memories distributed across the network is a technique to reduce peak network loads. Conventionally, the performance gain of caching was thought to result from making part of the requested data…
Motivated by the desire to utilize a limited number of configurable optical switches by recent advances in Software Defined Networks (SDNs), we define an online problem which we call the Caching in Matchings problem. This problem has a…
We consider a generalization of the standard cache problem called file-bundle caching, where different queries (tasks), each containing $l\ge 1$ files, sequentially arrive. An online algorithm that does not know the sequence of queries…
Crucial performance metrics of a caching algorithm include its ability to quickly and accurately learn a popularity distribution of requests. However, a majority of work on analytical performance analysis focuses on hit probability after an…
The demand private coded caching problem in a multi-access network with $K$ users and $K$ caches, where each user has access to $L$ neighbouring caches in a cyclic wrap-around manner, is studied. The additional constraint imposed is that…
Caching popular contents at edge devices is an effective solution to alleviate the burden of the backhaul networks. Earlier investigations commonly neglected the storage cost in caching. More recently, retention-aware caching, where both…
We study the caching problem when we are allowed to match each user to one of a subset of caches after its request is revealed. We focus on non-uniformly popular content, specifically when the file popularities obey a Zipf distribution. We…
We investigate the demand private coded caching problem, which is an $(N,K)$ coded caching problem with $N$ files, $K$ users, each equipped with a cache of size $M$, and an additional privacy constraint on user demands. We first present a…
In this paper, we propose a scheme for the problem of cache-aided multi-user private information retrieval with small caches, in which $K$ users are connected to $S$ non-colluding databases via shared links. Each database contains a set of…
In the classical caching problem, when a requested page is not present in the cache (i.e., a "miss"), it is assumed to travel from the backing store into the cache "before" the next request arrives. However, in many real-life applications,…
