• SunSITE@utk Web Caching Bibliography:
  This page includes a comprehensive list of publications (and pointers thereof) related to Web Caching research.
• LBNL's Network Research Group:
  This group's research interest are mostly in networking protocols, including Adaptive Web Caching and Scalable Reliable Multicast, and networking analysis tools and simulators.
• OSF Program for Distributed Web Components:
  This program is focused on transforming the Web from its current state as a means for publishing and accessing random information into a robust, scalable, secure platform.

• The Harvest Group Page:
  Harvest is an integrated set of tools to gather, extract, organize, search, cache, and replicate relevant information across the Internet.

• The Harvest Cache Project at USC:
  The Harvest hierarchical object cache, is an element of the Harvest Information Discovery and Access System. It offers high performance proxy-http caching for various Web clients.

• Microsoft Scalable Server Project:
  The Scalable Servers project explores techniques to build large servers as arrays of commodity processors, disks, and interconnects - Scalable Networks and Platforms (SNAP).

• WebOS: Software Support for Scalable Internet Services:
  WebOS focuses on the infrastructure needed to build a general purpose distributed computing environment out of the Web. This involves issues of file system (WebFS), fault-tolerance, and security.

• The Shrimp Project at Princeton:
  The Shrimp project allows a Scalable, High-Performance, Really Inexpensive Multi-Processor to be built from highly-integrated, commodity parts using an innovative model of communication called "virtual memory mapped communication".

• Smart Clients: A Framework For Building Scalable Services:
  This work is motivated by the observation that in many cases the client, rather than the server, is the right place to implement transparent access to network services for load balancing and fault-tolerance.

• The Inkotomi Research Prototype at Berkeley:
  The Inktomi mission is to bring leading-edge parallel computing technology to the Internet using commodity building blocks that provide exceptional cost/performance.

• The WWW Consortium Page:
  The W3C is an industry consortium which seeks to promote standards for the evolution of the Web and interoperability between WWW products.

• Inferno from Lucent Technologies:
  Inferno provides a uniform execution environment for applications and services in large-scale distributed multimedia systems. It comprises a networked OS, a virtual machine, and a programming environment.

• ISI LowLat Research Page:
  The LowLat project uses a mechanism emulating a Web proxy cache for proactive caching using available bandwith, to reduce response latency.

• DEC WRL Web Research Page:
  This project aims to analyze and improve the HyperText Transport Protocol and some of its implementations.

• The Pablo Research Group at UIUC:
  This project is conducted closely with NCSA to assess the implications of the explosive growth of the world wide web on operating systems, networks, and file systems.

• Virginia Tech Traffic Analysis Research Page:
  This project aims at making proxy caches more effective through performance evaluation of different proposed cache designs using a collection of Web traffic traces.

• The RODEO High Speed Networks Project:
  This project aims at the design, implementation and evaluation of transmission control protocols and high performance applications on high speed networks.

• The HORIZON Project
  This project aims at the design of scalable WWW servers to enhance digital library technology for the public to locate, integrate, move and analyze data via the Internet.

• International WWW Conference Committee:
  The IW3C2 is an international body of researchers closely involved in the Web technology and interested in continuing a series of academic level conferences.
