We study several transparent techniques for scaling dynamic content web sites, and we evaluate their relative impact when used in combination. Full transparency implies strong data consistency as perceived by the user, no modi- fications to existing dynami ...
Caching is an appealing approach for server-side acceleration of dynamic content web sites. Previous work in this area provides either non-transparent caching obtained at the expense of considerable effort from the application programmer, or a transparent ...
We present a consistent and transparent caching system for dynamic web pages produced by a server-side application using a back-end database. Cached pages always reflect current database values. No intervention from the programmer is necessary to implement ...
This paper describes the design, implementation, and performance of a simple yet powerful Application Programming Interface (API) for providing extended services in a proxy cache. This API facilitates the development of customized content adaptation, conte ...
This paper is concerned with performance debugging of multi- tier applications, such as commonly found in servers and dynamic-content web sites. Existing tools and techniques for profiling such applications are not general enough to track and profile trans ...
Caching dynamic web content is an effective approach to reduce Internet latency and server load. An ideal caching solution is one that can be added transparently by the developers and provides complete consistency of the cached documents, while minimizing ...
The link structure of the Web graph is used in algorithms such as Kleinberg's HITS and Google's PageRank to assign authoritative weights to Web pages and thus rank them. In HITS, a solid theoretical model is lacking and the algorithm often leads to non-uni ...
Caching is an effective means for reducing load on web servers, especially for those that dynamically generate web documents in J2EE applications. While adding caching to the application server can greatly reduce response times for requests, the logic to e ...
On-line services are making increasing use of dynamically generated Web content. Serving dynamic content is more complex than serving static content. Besides a Web server, it typically involves a server-side application and a database to generate and store ...
Dynamic content Web sites consist of a front-end Web server, an application server and a back-end database. In this paper we introduce distributed versioning, a new method for scaling the back-end database through replication. Distributed versioning provid ...
