Intelligent Mobile Web Pre-fetching (IMWeP) using XML technology

Both Web caching and pre-fetching is a ubiquitous technique that can increase the speed of Web loading process. As mobile context has limited resources like speed and memory, a better technique for Web loading process is vital. This paper proposes a new technique known as an Intelligent Mobile Web Pre-fetching (IMWeP) that creates pre-fetching in a mobile environment using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) technology. This technique proves to be faster in searching or accessing process in mobile applications. A case study on Facebook Mobile investigates the loading process by creating priority ranking on XML files using the proposed IMWeP technique. The result shows that the proposed technique provides faster loading process as the result of the incorporated pre-fetching technique and the tree-view method in the proposed system.
