Edgex: Edge Replication for Web Applications
EdgeX: Edge Replication for Web Applications by Hemant Saxena A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Mathematics in Computer Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 c Hemant Saxena 2015 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Global web applications face the problem of high network latency due to their need to communicate with distant data centers. Many applications use edge networks for caching images, CSS, javascript, and other static content in order to avoid some of this network latency. However, for updates and for anything other than static content, communication with the data center is still required, and can dominate application request latencies. One way to address this problem is to push more of the web application, as well the database on which it depends, from the remote data center towards the edge of the network. This thesis presents preliminary work in this direction. Specifically, it presents an edge-aware dynamic data replication architecture for relational database systems supporting web applications. The objective is to allow dynamic content to be served from the edge of the network, with low latency. iii Acknowledgements I am extremely grateful to my supervisor Ken Salem for his guidance, support, and dedication throughout this thesis and during my graduate studies. His training and enthu- siasm towards addressing challenging problems has had a positive effect in my life.

Get a Grip on Hosting Costs for Your High Volume Website
Get a Grip on Hosting Costs for Your High Volume Website Improve performance, scalability and availability, while reducing business risk and costs with the Drupal Open Source social publishing platform and Acquia Hosting services Executive Summary You’ve built a fantastic Drupal website. Traffic growth charts are encouraging. Conversion rates are above industry averages. Lead numbers and revenue from the web site are growing faster than forecast. And yet the pressure remains high to reduce costs and improve the profitability of operations wherever possible in your company. Though you have met or exceeded your commitments to the business, the CEO and the Board of Directors still want more. Perhaps your budget cycle is about to start up, or your hosting contract is up for renewal. You need to ensure you have a grip on the total cost of hosting your website, and to recommend alternative approaches which will cut those costs while improving service levels (performance, scalability and availability). MSKU#: 0023 2 Get a Grip on Hosting Costs for Your High Volume Website You know that success on the web doesn’t come without cost. But there are significant opportunities to dramatically reduce those costs. You can deliver dynamic, highly interactive “social” websites, and handle volumes of millions of page views per month and up. And you can do so with high performance, 100% availability, at a fraction of the cost most companies are paying today. There are significant infrastructure costs associated with hosting a high volume website. Whether those costs are carried internally through hardware and staff in your datacenter, or through outsourced managed hosting solutions – the numbers add up quickly.

Application of Ranganathan's Laws to the Web
Webology, Volume 1, Number 2, December, 2004 Home Table of Contents Titles & Subject Index Authors Index Application of Ranganathan's Laws to the Web Alireza Noruzi Department of Information Science, University of Tehran, Iran Received November 5, 2004; Accepted December 3, 2004 Abstract This paper analyzes the Web and raises a significant question: "Does the Web save the time of the users?" This question is analyzed in the context of Five Laws of the Web. What do these laws mean? The laws are meant to be elemental, to convey a deep understanding and capture the essential meaning of the World Wide Web. These laws may seem simplistic, but in fact they express a simple, crystal-clear vision of what the Web ought to be. Moreover, we intend to echo the simplicity of Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science which inspired them. Keywords World Wide Web, Ranganathan's laws, Five Laws of Library Science Introduction The World Wide Web is an Internet system that distributes graphical, hyperlinked information, based on the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). The Web is the global hypertext system providing access to documents written in a script called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) that allows its contents to be interlinked, locally and remotely. The Web was designed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva (Noruzi, 2004). We live in exciting times. The Web, whose history spans a mere dozen years, will surely figure amongst the most influential and important technologies of this new century. The information revolution not only supplies the technological horsepower that drives the Web, but fuels an unprecedented demand for storing, organizing, disseminating, and accessing information.

WEBOPS - WEB OPERATIONS Embracing Website Evolution
WEBOPS - WEB OPERATIONS Embracing Website Evolution 1 WEBOPS Embracing Website Evolution WebOps WebOps is turning website maintenance upside down. When we think of maintenance, we think of security and updating modules/plugins. When you combine WebOps and maintenance, you get much more! We’re talking from a Capability Maturity Model (CMM) where the aim is to improve the existing software development process. It includes improving graphics and design, upgrading code as new technology is introduced, and adding new features as your audience becomes more sophisticated and customer demands change and evolve, where the aim is to improve the existing software development process. WebOps is a system where one team manages the deployment, monitoring, and overall website operations. It creates a more unified, goal-driven approach to website management and allows for quicker adaptation to market changes, audience feedback, and business growth. Web Operations is an essential aspect of any business. It encompasses the tasks that lead to ongoing iteration. These ongoing iterations allow your business to respond faster to feedback, changing markets, and technology, thus enabling you to provide the best experience for your customers. CMM - WebOps - What you can do with Ongoing Maintenance 2 THE GOAL The goal of WebOps is to avoid having to rebuild your website from scratch every few years – which can be costly and time-consuming, and in truth, may not be necessary for most businesses. By creating a development roadmap and doing ongoing iterations, companies can do smaller updates that positively impact their business. There are five main reasons why WebOps is so crucial for any business: 1.

Bringing Named Entity Recognition on Drupal Content Management System
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Universidade do Minho: RepositoriUM Bringing Named Entity Recognition on Drupal Content Management System José Ferrnandes1 and Anália Lourenço1,2 1 ESEI - Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Informática, University of Vigo, Edificio Politécnico, Campus Universitario As Lagoas s/n, 32004 Ourense, Spain 2 IBB - Institute for Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Centre of Biological Engineering, University of Minho, Campus de Gualtar, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal [email protected], analia@{ceb.uminho.pt,uvigo.es} Abstract. Content management systems and frameworks (CMS/F) play a key role in Web development. They support common Web operations and provide for a number of optional modules to implement customized functionalities. Given the increasing demand for text mining (TM) applications, it seems logical that CMS/F extend their offer of TM modules. In this regard, this work contributes to Drupal CMS/F with modules that support customized named entity recognition and enable the construction of domain-specific document search engines. Implementation relies on well-recognized Apache Information Retrieval and TM initiatives, namely Apache Lucene, Apache Solr and Apache Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA). As proof of concept, we present here the development of a Drupal CMS/F that retrieves biomedical articles and performs automatic recognition of organism names to enable further organism-driven document screening. Keywords: Drupal, text mining, named entity recognition, Apache Lucene, Apache Solr, Apache UIMA. 1 Introduction The number of generic Text Mining (TM) software tools available now is considerable [1, 2], and almost every computer language has some module or package dedicated to natural language processing [3].

Django is a high-level Python Web framework… 1 A high-level Web framework is software that eases the pain of building dynamic Web sites. It abstracts common problems of Web development and provides shortcuts for frequent programming tasks. 2 For clarity, a dynamic Web site is one in which pages aren’t simply HTML documents sitting on a server’s filesystem somewhere. In a dynamic Web site, rather, each page is generated by a computer program — a so-called “Web application” — that you, the Web developer, create. A Web application may, for instance, retrieve records from a database or take some action based on user input. 5 A good Web framework addresses these common concerns: It provides a method of mapping requested URLs to code that handles requests. In other words, it gives you a way of designating which code should execute for which URL.

Outages are all too common. High variability and defect rates are bemoaned but have become an accepted reality. Key engineers spend all day (and sometimes all night) mired in deployment issues and bottlenecks. And topping it all off, what tooling that does exist are usually a custom one-offs that are brittle and expensive to maintain. Today’s business of operating software over the Web as a revenue producing service is a ” Today’s business of dramatic departure from the days when software was primarily produced for delivery on operating software over the physical mediums and IT Operations was considered a back-of-the-house support Web as a revenue producing function.
