For the beginning, I learned about Java programming Software Developer and Software Architect working in various projects. Immediately language then about the Microsoft .NET C# programming language. Finally, I decided after my graduation, as a Software System Engineer I designed a lot of products, that Java is the best choice for me. My first Java based projects were Desktop tools and OS patches for a wide range of machines, 8 bits microcomputers, Applications using the SWING framework and MySQL database. In the same time, minicomputers (PDP-11) and mainframes using mainly the assembly languages. In I've started to learn about the JEE and related technologies. From 2009 until today 1990 I have had for the first time an IBM PC on my hands. Using the x86 assembly I'm working mainly on JEE and Core Java applications. I'm specialized on the sever language, I designed small tools and viruses’ cleaners. Soon in 1992 the C and C++ side and Enterprise Information Systems (database) designing and implementing became my main programming languages for the next decays.

  • Play2sdg: Bridging the Gap Between Serving and Analytics in Scalable Web Applications
    Play2SDG: Bridging the Gap between Serving and Analytics in Scalable Web Applications Panagiotis Garefalakis M.Res Thesis Presentation, 7 September 2015 Outline •Motivation •Challenges ➡Scalable web app design ➡Resource efficiency ➡Resource Isolation •In-memory Web Objects model ➡Play2SDG case study ➡Experimental Results •Conclusions •Future work 2 Motivation • Most modern web and mobile applications today offer highly personalised services generating large amounts of data • Tasks separated into offline (BE) and online (LC) based on the latency, computation and data freshness requirements • To train models and offer analytics, they use asynchronous offline computation, which leads to stale data being served to clients • To serve requests robustly and with low latency, applications cache data from the analytics layer • Applications deployed in large clusters, but with no collocation of tasks to avoid SLO violations • No data freshness guarantees and poor resource efficiency 3 Typical Web App • How does a typical scalable web application look like? • There is a strict decoupling of online and offline tasks • With the emerge of cloud computing, these applications are deployed on clusters with thousands of machines Cluster A Load Balancer Web Server Web Application Database Server HTTP Request HTTP Response Business Presentation Database Data Model Data Intensive Batch Processing Data Dashed Line: Offline Task Cluster B Trained Models 4 Challenges: Resource Efficiency • Most cloud facilities operate at very low utilisation, hurting both cost effectiveness and future scalability • Figure depicts a utilisation analysis for a production cluster at Twitter with thousands of servers, managed by Mesos over one month. The cluster mostly hosts user-centric services • The aggregate CPU utilisation is consistently below 20%, even though reservations reach up to 80% of total capacity Delimitrou, Christina, and Christos Kozyrakis.

  • Global Software Development Development of a Web Platform for Exchanging Educational Content in a Virtual Team Setting
    Global Software Development Development of a web platform for exchanging educational content in a virtual team setting Sofia Lazopoulou, Xiuqing Li, Nikolaj Lund, Bastian Muller,¨ Mikkel Nielsen, Frederik Williams IT-University of Copenhagen Rued Langgaards Vej 7, 2300 Kbh S slaz, xili, nilu, bmue, mibn, fwil @itu.dk { } May 22, 2012 Abstract This paper explains the process of developing a web platform for exchanging educational content. The focus lies on the collaboration and team manage- ment, as well as the product itself. During the project, various difficulties have been encountered. As a result, we describe the problems that virtual teams might encounter when working on a project of similar nature, and we propose different methods to mitigate or even avoid such difficulties in future teamwork. Even though the resulting approach is not perfect and might be of limited use for other development teams, the presented suggestions could have certainly optimized the development process of the project.

Web Frameworks are all very different and have typically been created for different reasons and to achieve different goals. Which Java Web Framework will you use in your next project and why would you chose one over the other? There are many features which may sway your decision and of course it will depend on the type of app you’re building. All rights reserved. 2013 © ZeroTurnaround OÜ 3 Why do we need Web Frameworks? Well, coding good-looking web applications in Java isn’t super easy at time. In fact, let’s just say it sucks. It can be hard to do and mostly doesn’t give SPRING MVC 30% us the rich front-end we strive to deliver to happy users. This is really the catalyst which has caused Web Frameworks to be created. Both, functional JSF and non-functional web app requirements have led to the need for various 23% web frameworks to be created, but this brings us to the opposite problem... there are so many choices out there to use, which web framework should you pick for your next web app?
