Technical Report: DCC-97-13News Drowning: an alternative method to news expiring or "how not to be drown by news" Pedro Vasconcelos and Rogério Reis
Departamento de Ciência de Computadores & LIACC December 1997
AbstractWe describe an alternative method, that is triggered by the need of disk resources and chooses the articles to purge by attributing a weight to each article, according to its age and newsgroup. This new method achieves both a better use of available disk-space, and a better response in critical situations avoiding the tedious need of the news administrator continuous surveillance. |
