Keeping Things Close

Study caching and content delivery at Slop University, from the study-room timer to the core shed

A prospectus inviting students to study caching and content delivery across the University's three Schools, treating the question of what to keep near the people who ask for it as a research problem: the holding rules of the School of Continuous Improvement, the anticipatory delivery of the School of Emergent Priorities, and the School of Underlying Conditions' drill-core shed as the oldest cache on campus. It grounds the invitation in five published studies, cited by title and DOI.
