Analysis and Testing of Ajax-based Single-page Web Applications

This dissertation has focused on better understanding the shifting web paradigm and the consequences of moving from the classical multi-page model to an Ajax-based single-page style. Specifically to that end, this work has examined this new class of software from three main software engineering perspectives. Software Architecture: to gain an...

Performance Testing of Data Delivery Techniques for AJAX Applications

Preprint of paper published in: Journal of Web Engineering (Rinton Press), 8 (4), 2009 AJAX applications are designed to have high user interactivity and low user-perceived latency. Real-time dynamic web data such as news headlines, stock tickers, and auction updates need to be propagated to the users as soon as possible. However, AJAX still...

Exposing the Hidden-Web Induced by Ajax

AJAX is a very promising approach for improving rich interactivity and responsiveness of web applications. At the same time, AJAX techniques increase the totality of the hidden web by shattering the metaphor of a web ‘page’ upon which general search engines are based. This paper describes a technique for exposing the hidden web content behind...

A Component- and Push-based Architectural Style for Ajax Applications

Preprint of article published in: Journal of Systems and Software (Elsevier), 81 (12), 2008; doi:10.1016/j.jss.2008.04.005 A new breed of web application, dubbed ajax, is emerging in response to a limited degree of interactivity in large-grain stateless Web interactions. At the heart of this new approach lies a single page interaction model that...

Modelling and Generating Ajax Applications: A Model-Driven Approach

Preprint of paper published in: IWWOST 2008 - 7th International Workshop on Web-Oriented Software Technologies, 14-15 July 2008 AJAX is a promising and rapidly evolving approach for building highly interactive web applications. In AJAX, user interface components and the event-based interaction between them form the founding elements, whereas in...

Crawling AJAX by Inferring User Interface State Changes

Preprint of paper published in: ICWE 2008 - 8th International Conference on Web Engineering, 14-18 July 2008; doi:10.1109/ICWE.2008.24 AJAX is a very promising approach for improving rich interactivity and responsiveness of web applications. At the same time, AJAX techniques shatter the metaphor of a web "page" upon which general search crawlers...

A Comparison of Push and Pull Techniques for AJAX

AJAX applications are designed to have high user interactivity and low user-perceived latency. Real-time dynamic web data such as news headlines, stock tickers, and auction updates need to be propagated to the users as soon as possible. However, AJAX still suffers from the limitations of the Web’s request/response architecture which prevents...

Ajaxifying classicWeb applications

Recently, a new web development technique for creating interactive web applications, dubbed AJAX, has emerged in response to the limited degree of interactivity in large-grain stateless web interactions. In this new model, the web interface is composed of individual components which can be updated/replaced independently, and the client/server...

An Architectural Style for Ajax

An Architectural Style for Ajax

A new breed of web application, dubbed AJAX, is emerging in response to a limited degree of interactivity in large-grain stateless Web interactions. At the heart of this new approach lies a single page interaction model that facilitates rich interactivity. We have studied and experimented with several AJAX frameworks trying to understand their...

Migrating Multi-page Web Applications to Single-page AJAX Interfaces

Recently, a new web development technique for creating interactive web applications, dubbed AJAX, has emerged. In this new model, the single-page web interface is composed of individual components which can be updated/replaced independently. With the rise of AJAX web applications classical multi-page web applications are becoming legacy systems....

Design of A District Heating System Including The Upgrading of Residual Industrial Waste Heat

This study was aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using a waste heat stream from DSM for a District Heating System. A conceptual design was carried out with emphasis on the unit for upgrading the residual waste heat. Having reviewed heat pump technology, mechanical heat pump was found to be the best option for recovering the heat from the...
