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 ...
The absence of benchmarks for Web sites with dynamic content has been a major impediment to research in this area. We describe three benchmarks for evaluating the performance of Web sites with dynamic content. The benchmarks model three common types of dyn ...
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 ...
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 ...
We present a new lazy replication technique, suitable for scaling the back-end database of a dynamic content site using a cluster of commodity computers. Our technique, called conflict-aware scheduling, provides both throughput scaling and 1-copy serializa ...
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 ...
The management of IP networks and systems is currently based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the SNMP management architecture. This poses a number of problems. Some are related to the efficiency, scalability, latency, and expressivenes ...
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 ...
