This paper presents quantitative measurements and analyses of various issues related to web servers and web documents in Thailand. We developed a web spider to automatically collect the web information and describe the design and its performance. Using the web spider, we found that there are over 700,000 documents and over 8000 web servers on Thai web (information located on the servers registe...

This report, performed in the framework of the computer science master of Bordeaux, is aiming to study the paper of Brecht et al. named “Accept()able strategies for improving web server performance” [1]. Beyond a simple summary, this report endeavors to give an overview of the web server field and by extension, of the server field. Indeed, most of the conclusions are easily extendable to other ...

IntroductIon In the Internet age, real-time Web-based services are becoming more pervasive every day. They span virtually all business and government sectors, and typically have a large number of users. Many such services require continuous operation, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Any extended disruption in services, including both planned and unplanned downtime, can result in significant ...

Equipped with powerful machines and complex softwares, web servers providing services are widely used all over the Internet. But, how to specify their behaviors are interesting and meaningful. However, process algebras nowadays cannot specify the behaviors of web servers with time limitations and different groups of clients who are belong to different groups/priorities. The behaviors of web ser...

Some of the reasons for unsatisfactory performance of today’s search engines are their centralized approach to web crawling and lack of explicit support from web servers. We propose a modification to conventional crawling in which a search engine uploads simple agents, called crawlets, to web sites. A crawlet crawls pages at a site locally and sends a compact summary back to the search engine. ...

With the drastically increasing usage of Web services, it becomes more and more challenging to design Web servers. It is usually not economically feasible to design Web servers for estimated peak load, because the limited Web server resources can never catch up with the increasing user populations. However, it is possible to provide a better service to premium users, even when the Web server is...
