Introduction of eviction strategies for caching scalable media files

This document gives an introduction to scalable media formats and describes the motivation for the development of special caching strategies in order to exploit scalability on file system level. A set of eviction strategies especially designed for the file format JPEG 2000 will be presented. These packet-based strategies allow for better cache hit rates compared to file-based eviction strategies like FIFO or LRU and thereby contribute to a real-time capable file system for scalable media.
