Abstract

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a large distributed system consisting of multiple servers and clients. The paper briefly describes a model called WWW in DSM that provides a collaborative cache through an underlying distributed shared memory (DSM) paradigm. The model allows sharing of retrieved documents among browsers using the DSM. The authors have implemented a prototype system that shares documents among browsers in a local network, in an intranet, and across the Internet
