table_spanitem("Replicating Web documents at a worldwide scale can help
reduce user-perceived latency and wide-area network traffic. This paper
presents the design of Globule, a platform that automates all
aspects of such replication: server-to-server peering negotiation,
creation and destruction of replicas, selection of the most
appropriate replication strategies on a per-document basis,
consistency management and transparent redirection of clients to
replicas. Globule is initially directed to support standard Web
documents. However, it can also be applied to stream-oriented
documents. To facilitate the transition from a non-replicated server
to a replicated one, we designed Globule as a module for the Apache
Web server. Therefore, converting Web documents should require no
more than compiling a new module into Apache and editing a
configuration file.");
