INTRODUCTION The World Wide Web (WWW) first emerged a decade ago as a medium to render hypertext documentsthatwerestoredontheInternet,onauser’scomputer,usingspecialsoftware(thebrowser) andanewprotocol(HTTP:HyperTextTransferProtocol).Forthefirstfewyears,theWWWgrewprimarily asanewmediuminwhichstaticcontentcouldbepublished,andinformationshared.Thecontentwas publishedintheformofHTML(HyperTextMarkupLanguage)files,whichwereservedbyWebservers, on requests from browsers. However, over the last few years the WWW has transformed itself from a staticcontent-distributionmediumtoaninteractive,dynamicmedium.ContentontheWebisnowoften personalized,andthereforedynamicallygenerated.TheWebisnowwidelyusedasthepresentationlayer forahostofon-lineservicessuchase-mail,e-cards,e-calendar,andaddressbooks,shopping,banking, andstocktrading.Asaconsequence,theHTMLfilesthatarerenderedbytheclient’sbrowserarenow typicallygenerateddynamicallyaftertheWebserverhasprocessedtheuser’srequest.

JustwhenInternetusersweregettingaccustomedto“click-and-wait”ondial-uplinesduetographics-rich 1 Web-sites,dynamicallygeneratedcontentstartedproliferatingontheWeb.Nowusersmustwaitnotonly for the network delay but also for the server-side processing delay associated with serving a request dynamically.Inmanycases,thisisturningouttobethelargestcomponentofthedelay.FromtheWeb- siteproviders’pointofview,dynamicgenerationofHTMLpagesimpliesalesserunderstandingofthereal capacity of their Web servers. The vendor-provided “hits-per-second” capacity of the Web server is no longerenough,asthisonlypertainstostaticHTMLfiles. From the Web developers’ point of view, dynamic Web content implies an additional technology decision:theWebprogrammingtechnologytobeemployedincreatingaWeb-basedserviceorproduct. This decision is based on several factors. Among the factors considered are ease of programming, richnessoffeatures,maintainability,reliability,andperformance.SincetheWebisinherentlyinteractive, performanceisakeyrequirement,andoftendemandscarefulanalysisofthesystems. In this paper, we compare the performance of four Web programming technologies, namely Java Servlets,JavaServerPages,CGI/C++andFastCGI/C++.Thecomparisonisbasedontwocases:oneis acasestudyofacomplexapplicationthatwasdeployedinanactualWeb-basedservice;theotherisa “trivial” application. The methodology of performance analysis was stress testing and measurement. Performance measurement (rather than modeling) made most sense in this effort, since a quick turnaroundofresultswasnecessaryandtheaccuracyofresultswasrequiredtobehigh.

The distributed execution environment consists of a front-end sub-system running a standard Web server and a Java virtual machine (JVM) servlet engine, plus a back-end sub-system of servers implementing the businesslogicanddata(e.g.,POP/IMAPmailservers,SMTPgateways,LDAP/X.500 directoryservers,etc.).ThepageengineconsistsofanumberofWebpagetemplatesandJavaservlets.

  • Effects and Opportunities of Native Code Extensions For
    Effects and Opportunities of Native Code Extensions for Computationally Demanding Web Applications DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Dr. Phil. im Fach Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaft eingereicht an der Philosophischen Fakultät I Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Dipl. Inform. Dennis Jarosch Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin: Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekan der Philosophischen Fakultät I: Prof. Michael Seadle, Ph.D. Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. Robert Funk 2. Prof. Michael Seadle, Ph.D. eingereicht am: 28.10.2011 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 16.12.2011 Abstract The World Wide Web is amidst a transition from interactive websites to web applications. An increasing number of users perform their daily computing tasks entirely within the web browser — turning the Web into an important platform for application development. The Web as a platform, however, lacks the computational performance of native applications. This problem has motivated the inception of Microsoft Xax and Google Native Client (NaCl), two independent projects that fa- cilitate the development of native web applications. Native web applications allow the extension of conventional web applications with compiled native code, while maintaining operating system portability. This dissertation determines the bene- fits and drawbacks of native web applications. It also addresses the question how the performance of JavaScript web applications compares to that of native appli- cations and native web applications. Four application benchmarks are introduced that focus on different performance aspects: number crunching (serial and parallel), 3D graphics performance, and data processing. A performance analysis is under- taken in order to determine and compare the performance characteristics of native C applications, JavaScript web applications, and NaCl native web applications.

  • AJAX and Jquery L Raw AJAX Handling in JS Is Very Tedious L Jquery Provides Flexible and Strong Support to Handle AJAX Interactions Through a Set of Jquery Functions
    AJAX Asynchronous Design in Web Apps IT 4403 Advanced Web and Mobile Applications Jack G. Zheng Fall 2019 Topics l AJAX concepts and technical elements l AJAX implications and impacts l jQuery AJAX l Basic and shorthand methods l Error handling 2 AJAX l AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create interactive web applications. l Despite the name, the use of XML is not actually required, nor do the requests need to be asynchronous. 3 First Impression l https://www.google.com Use Chrome’s developer tools to view network communications while typing the search terms. A set of requests have been made to get JSON data from the server as I type in the search term box. Observe the “q” parameter in all URLs. 4 AJAX Model Difference With Ajax, web applications can communicate with servers in the background without a complete page loading after every request/response cycle. http://www.adaptivepath.com /ideas/ajax-new-approach- web-applications/ 5 Traditional Model The client does not generate views/presentations (HTML/CSS). Synchronous communications feature sequential request/response cycles, one after another The server prepares the whole page. http://www.websiteoptimization.com/secrets/ajax/8-1-ajax-pattern.html 6 Ajax Model l With Ajax, web applications can communicate with servers in the background without a complete page loading after every request/response cycle. The client generates views/presentations and update content (partial page) by manipulating DOM. Asynchronous communications feature independent request/response cycles The server prepares partial pages (partial HTML) or just data (XML or JSON).

    Language Learning & Technology January 1998, Volume 1, Number 2 http://llt.msu.edu/vol1num2/emerging/ pp. 9-15 (page numbers in PDF differ and should not be used for reference) EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Dymamic Web Page Creation Robert Godwin-Jones Virginia Comonwealth University Contents: • Plug-ins and Applets • JavaScript • Dynamic HTML and Style Sheets • Instructional Uses • Resource List While remaining a powerful repository of information, the Web is being transformed into a medium for creating truly interactive learning environments, leading toward a convergence of Internet connectivity with the functionality of traditional multimedia authoring tools like HyperCard, Toolbook, and Authorware. Certainly it is not fully interactive yet, but that is undeniably the trend as manifested in the latest (version 4) Web browsers. "Dynamic HTML," incorporated into the new browsers, joins plug-ins, Web forms, Java applets, and JavaScript as options for Web interactivity. Plug-ins and Applets While Web pages are beginning to behave more like interactive applications, traditional authoring tools are themselves becoming Internet-savvy, primarily through the use of "plug-in" versions of players which integrate with Web browsers. The most commonly used plug-in today is Macromedia's "Shockwave," used to Web-enable such applications as Director, Authorware, and Flash. "Shocked" Web pages can be very interactive and provide a visually appealing means of interacting with users (as in some sample ESL exercises from Jim Duber). Plug-ins are easy to use -- they just need to be downloaded and installed. Some come bundled with Netscape and Microsoft's browsers, which simplifies considerably the installation process (and gives developers the confidence that most users will actually have the plug-in installed).

Image Processing Dept. Systems Engineering Research Institute, Yusung, Taejon, 305-600, S.Korea Email: {khkim, kilee, hglee,ylha} @seri. re. kr Abstract To design and implement web-based 3D GIS, the strategic linkage of Java and VRML is first regarded: 3D feature format definition in the passion of conventional GIS including aspatial attributes, 3D feature indexing, 3D analytical operations such as selection, buffering, and near, metric operation such as distance measurement and statistical description, and 3D visualization. In 3D feature format definition, the following aspects are considered: aspatial attributes, spatial information for 3D primitives, multimedia data, visualization information for VRML specification. "Lantern operator" is newly introduced in this 3D GIS. Because this system is implemented by Java applet, any client with Java-enable browser including VRML browser plug-in can utilize the new style of 3D GIS function in the virtual space. 1 Introduction The integration of virtual environment and GIS has been initiated]!]. Since the mid 1990s, 3D GIS on World Wide Web(WWW)[2] has been regarded as one of promising alternatives in the GIS field mainly due to cost-effectiveness and wide accessibility.
