Caching in Distributed File Systems - References
================================================

This page lists the papers and books I used in 1995-1996 when writing my
MSc thesis. Since my thesis focused on caching in distributed file systems,
the following sources mainly concern caching issues as well. Although this
page might be slightly outdated by now, it still lists many classic papers
about distributed file systems.
