Polouse Jacob %J International Journal of Ad Hoc, Sensor & Ubiquitous Computing %D 2012 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X Data caching is an important technique in mobile computing environments for improving data availability and access latencies particularly because these computing environments are characterized by narrow bandwidth wireless links and frequent disconnections. Cache replacement policy plays a vitalrole to improve the performance in a cached mobile environment, since the amount of data stored in a client cache is small. In this paper we reviewed some of the well known cache replacement policies proposed for mobile data caches. We made a comparison between these policies after classifying them based on the criteria used for evicting documents. In addition, this paper suggests some alternative techniques for cache replacement. %K Cache Replacement %K MANET %K Cooperative caching %K Wireless Mobile Network %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijasuc/papers/0812asuc10.pdf
