Most systems follow either the active or the passive approach. A well known example for active replication are Content Distribution Networks [8] that replicate data to predefined static locations. In contrast to that, P2P file sharing networks [2, 1] use passive replication where identical content is usually provided by different peers. We suggest a system that combines both techniques using Proxy Affinity, Request Affinity and Replication Affinity considering user preferences, user behaviour, hardware resources and networks capabilities.}, issn = {978-0-88986-6}, language = {EN}, talktype = {none} }
