Architectural Optimization of Digital Libraries

摘要: This work investigates performance and scaling issues relevant to large scale distributed digital libraries. Presently, studies focus on specific implementations of production or prototype Although useful information is gained aid these designers other researchers with insights issues, the broader very libraries are not addressed. Specifically, no current look at extreme worst case possibilities in library implementations. A survey research presented. Scaling mentioned frequently literature but generally much research. In this thesis a model for Generic Distributed Digital Library (GDDL) nine cases typical user activities defined. used facilitate some basic analysis issues. calculation Internet traffic generated different configurations study parameters an estimate future bandwidth needed implementation. demonstrates potential impact implementation would have load raises questions concerning architecture decisions being made designs.
