Web caching and content delivery technologies provide the infrastructure on which systems are built for the scalable distribution of information. These proceedings of the eighth annual workshop, captures a cross-section of the latest issues and techniques of interest to network architects and researchers in large-scale content delivery. Web Content Caching and Distribution encompasses all areas relating to the intersection of storage and networking for Internet content services.
