Alternative Architectures and Protocols for Providing Strong Consistency in Dynamic Web Applications
Dynamic Web applications have gained a great deal of popularity. Improving the performance of these applications has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. One of the most important techniques proposed for this purpose is caching, which ...
Extending Proxy Caching Capability: Issues and Performance
Proxy caching is an effective approach to reduce the response latency to client requests, web server load, and network traffic. Recently there has been a major shift in the usage of the Web. Emerging web applications require increasing amount of server-...
Answering XML Queries Using Path-Based Indexes: A Survey
The problem of answering XML queries using path-based indexes is to find efficient methods for accelerating the XML query with pre-designed index structures over the XML database. This problem received increasing interests and have been lucubrated in ...
Ranking Pages by Topology and Popularity within Web Sites
We compare two link analysis ranking methods of web pages in a site. The first, called Site Rank , is an adaptation of PageRank to the granularity of a web site and the second, called Popularity Rank , is based on the frequencies of user clicks on the ...
A Scalable Cluster-based Infrastructure for Edge-computing Services
In this paper we present a scalable and dynamic intermediary infrastructure, SEcS (acronym of "Scalable Edge computing Services"), for developing and deploying advanced Edge computing services, by using a cluster of heterogeneous machines. Our goal is ...
Indexing and Integrating Multiple Features for WWW Images
In this paper, we present a novel indexing technique called Multi-scale Similarity Indexing (MSI) to index image's multi-features into a single one-dimensional structure. Both for text and visual feature spaces, the similarity between a point and a ...
