Social Information Filtering: Algorithms for Automating "Word of Mouth"

by Upendra Shardanand, Pattie Maes , 1995
"... This paper describes a technique for making personalized recommendations from any type of database to a user based on similarities between the interest profile of that user and those of other users. In particular, we discuss the implementation of a networked system called Ringo, which makes personal ..."

Consistent hashing and random trees: Distributed caching protocols for relieving hot spots on the World Wide Web

by David Karger, Eric Lehman, Tom Leighton, Matthew Levine, Daniel Lewin, Rina Panigrahy - IN PROC. 29TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY OF COMPUTING (STOC , 1997
"... We describe a family of caching protocols for distrib-uted networks that can be used to decrease or eliminate the occurrence of hot spots in the network. Our protocols are particularly designed for use with very large networks such as the Internet, where delays caused by hot spots can be severe, and ..."
