Web Server Technology

The success of the web depends not only on the creation of stimulating and valuable information, but also on the speed, efficiency and convenient delivery of this information to the Web consumer. This authoritative presentation of web server technology takes you beyond the basics to provide the underlying principles and technical details of how WWW servers really work. It explains current technology and suggests enhanced and expanded methods for disseminating information via the Web. Features: Covers measurement of WWW component performance--the networks, server hardware, and operating systems--and suggests alternative Web server software designs for improving performance. Explains the costs and benefits of mirroring and caching Web documents. Surveys the web's current search tools and uses the library system as a model layout to illustrate indexing, searching, and retrieval techniques. Assesses web security hazards and presents mechanisms for combating these vulnerabilities, including an in-depth discussion of firewalls. Analyzes the risks and explains the technologies used in a variety of services available for making monetary transactions online.

The concept of a "web server" has become fuzzy because the server is now entwined with the dynamic requirements of web applications. Handling a request is no longer the simple process of "send back the content of this file," but instead involves routing the request to the web application, which, among other things, determines where the content comes from. In Web Servers Succinctly, author Marc Clifton provides great insights on the benefits of building your own web server, and covers different options available for threading, work processes, session management, routing, and security.

About the Book: The book covers the detail concepts of Client Server Architectural aspects, its application components, its relationship with database, development tools associated with it and technologies used to develop client server systems. The book will serve as a complete text for all undergraduate (BCA, B. Sc., BCS and B. Tech.) and post graduate students (MCA, M. Tech. and MS) of Computer Science and Engineering students of various Technical Universities. Also the scope and depth of topics covered in the book, with its straightforward and often humorous delivery, make this book worth.

2012 International Conference of Intelligence Computation and Evolutionary Computation (ICEC 2012) is held on July 7, 2012 in Wuhan, China. This conference is sponsored by Information Technology & Industrial Engineering Research Center. ICEC 2012 is a forum for presentation of new research results of intelligent computation and evolutionary computation. Cross-fertilization of intelligent computation, evolutionary computation, evolvable hardware and newly emerging technologies is strongly encouraged. The forum aims to bring together researchers, developers, and users from around the world in both industry and academia for sharing state-of-art results, for exploring new areas of research and development, and to discuss emerging issues facing intelligent computation and evolutionary computation.
