However, developing a replica strategy suitable for varied application scenarios is still quite challenging, owing to differences in user access behavior and preferences. In this paper, a replication strategy for spatiotemporal data (RSSD) based on a distributed caching system is proposed. By taking advantage of the spatiotemporal locality and correlation of user access, RSSD mines high popularity and associated files from historical user access information, and then generates replicas and selects appropriate cache node for placement. Experimental results show that the RSSD algorithm is simple and efficient, and succeeds in significantly reducing user access delay.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18010222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,15]],"date-time":"2018-01-15T12:30:36Z","timestamp":1516019436000},"page":"222","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Replication Strategy for Spatiotemporal Data Based on Distributed Caching System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Lian","family":"Xiong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9450-5469","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9535-464X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yang","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]},{"given":"Lun","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Big Data in Smart Cities","volume":"39","author":"Li","year":"2015","journal-title":"Sci.
