Modern web pages have complex structures comprised of up to hundreds of different resources, such as scripts and images. Server push is an HTTP/2 feature enabling servers to preemptively send resources to clients before they realize they…
As of February, 2015, HTTP/2, the update to the 16-year-old HTTP 1.1, is officially complete. HTTP/2 aims to improve the Web experience by solving well-known problems (e.g., head of line blocking and redundant headers), while introducing…
HTTP/2 video streaming has caught a lot of attentions in the development of multimedia technologies over the last few years. In HTTP/2, the server push mechanism allows the server to deliver more video segments to the client within a single…
Over the last 30 years, the World Wide Web has changed significantly. In this paper, we argue that common practices to prepare web pages for delivery conflict with many efforts to present content with minimal latency, one fundamental goal…
Performance in web applications is a key aspect of user experience and system scalability. Among the different techniques used to improve web application performance, caching has been widely used. While caching has been widely explored in…
Push message delivery, where a client maintains an ``always-on'' connection with a server in order to be notified of a (asynchronous) message arrival in real-time, is increasingly being used in Internet services. The key message in this…
With the advent of cloud computing and the Internet, the commercialized website becomes capable of providing more web services, such as software as a service (SaaS) or function as a service (FaaS), for great user experiences. Undoubtedly,…
HTTP is a successful Internet technology on top of which a lot of the web resides. However, limitations with its current specification, i.e. HTTP/1.1, have encouraged some to look for the next generation of HTTP. In SPDY, Google has come up…
HTTP/2 (h2) is a new standard for Web communications that already delivers a large share of Web traffic. Unlike HTTP/1, h2 uses only one underlying TCP connection. In a cellular network with high loss and sudden spikes in latency, which the…
The third version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is currently in its final standardization phase by the IETF. Besides better security and increased flexibility, it promises benefits in terms of performance. HTTP/3 adopts a more…
With the popularity of mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, users prefer visiting Web pages on mobile devices. Meanwhile, HTTP(S) plays as the major protocol to deliver Web contents, and has served the Web well for more than 15…
Now a days, a new family of web applications open applications, are emerging (e.g., Social Networking, News and Blogging). Generally, these open applications are non-confidential. The security needs of these applications are only…
Multimedia streaming over HTTP is no longer a niche research topic as it has entered our daily live. The common assumption is that it is deployed on top of the existing infrastructure utilizing application (HTTP) and transport (TCP) layer…
Serverless computing is increasingly popular because of the promise of lower cost and the convenience it provides to users who do not need to focus on server management. This has resulted in the availability of a number of proprietary and…
The world is rapidly adopting RESTful web services for most of its tasks. The once popular SOAP-based web services are fast losing ground owing to this. RESTful web services are light weight services without strict message formats. RESTful…
Data lakes hold a growing amount of cold data that is infrequently accessed, yet require interactive response times. Serverless functions are seen as a way to address this use case since they offer an appealing alternative to maintaining…
A queue is required when a service provider is not able to handle jobs arriving over the time. In a highly flexible and dynamic environment, some jobs might demand for faster execution at run-time especially when the resources are limited…
In this paper, we show how Web technologies can be used effectively to (i) address some of the deficiencies of traditional IP network management platforms, and (ii) render these expensive platforms redundant. We build on the concept of…
HTTPS is quickly rising alongside the need of Internet users to benefit from security and privacy when accessing the Web, and it becomes the predominant application protocol on the Internet. This migration towards a secure Web using HTTPS…
Over the years, with the advancement of technology, Web technology has many improvements. In the early days, the web was one-way communication, and only the customer was able to see the content of the site and could not enter information.…
