Web Technologies And Applications

With the technological advancement of mobile devices, social networking, and electronic services, Web technologies continues to play an ever-growing part of the global way of life, incorporated into cultural, economical, and organizational levels. Web Technologies: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications (4 Volume) provides a comprehensive depiction of current and future trends in support of the evolution of Web information systems, Web applications, and the Internet. Through coverage of the latest models, concepts, and architectures, this multiple-volume reference supplies audiences with an authoritative source of information and direction for the further development of the Internet and Web-based phenomena.

Provides the most thorough examination of Internet technologies and applications for researchers in a variety of related fields. For the average Internet consumer, as well as for experts in the field of networking and Internet technologies.

Today, web applications are the most important type of software applications. This textbook shows how to design and implement them, using a model-based engineering approach that covers general information management concepts and techniques and the two most relevant technology platforms: JavaScript and Java. The book provides an in-depth tutorial for theory-underpinned and example-based learning by doing it yourself, supported by quiz questions and practice projects. Volume 1 provides an introduction to web technologies and model-based web application engineering, discussing the information management concepts of constraint-based data validation, enumerations and special datatypes. Volume 2 discusses the advanced information management concepts of associations and inheritance in class hierarchies. Web apps are designed using UML class diagrams and implemented with two technologies: JavaScript for front-end (and distributed NodeJS) apps, and Java (with JPA and JSF) for back-end apps. The six example apps discussed in the book can be run, and their source code downloaded, from the book’s website.

Yuen V. Lau There are a vast number of Web technologies ranging from ASP to XSLT. If you are looking for a practical, hands-on guide to all major aspects of Web technology, this book is for you. " Practical Web Technologies "" provides an instant course and a reference book for Web design beginners, programmers and engineers, as well as Web practitioners. Starting with the basics of Web design, you will be provided with step-by-step practical examples to help you design and set up functional sites on the World Wide Web. The book then moves through more advanced topics, covering subjects such as client and server scripting, e-commerce, broadcasting live video, Web databases and SSL security. Topics covered include: Basic - HTML/XHTML, CSS, Java, ECMAScript (or JavaScript), XML, and XSLT Intermediate A DOM (W3C Document Object Model), CGI, Perl, ASP, ASP.NET, and PHP Advanced A MySQL (Web Databases), SSL and TLS (Web Security), WML and WMLScript (Mobile Internet)"" Other key features: Over 400 working examples presented in "cut and paste" format which can be used directly in other Web applications Over 450 illustrations and screen shots Supporting Web site at www.practical-web.com About the authorsP.K. Yuen is a publicly known expert on Communication, Internet and World Wide Web. He has more than 13 years working experience on Web technologies including large scale application developments, engineer training and project leadership. With his work, he filed US and international patents for a number of designs on images, audio and video transmission on the Internet and Web applications. V. Lau is a senior lecturer in computing in the School of Mathematics at Kingston University. He has much experience in teaching programming at various undergraduate levels and is particularly interested in teaching Web-related programming skills. He is the core member of the computing courses development team in the School of Mathematics.

The Web is growing at an astounding pace surpassing the 8 billion page mark. However, most pages are still designed for human consumption and cannot be processed by machines. This book provides a well-paced introduction to the Semantic Web. It covers a wide range of topics, from new trends (ontologies, rules) to existing technologies (Web Services and software agents) to more formal aspects (logic and inference). It includes: real-world (and complete) examples of the application of Semantic Web concepts; how the technology presented and discussed throughout the book can be extended to other application areas.

The Internet has become an integral part of human life, yet the web still utilizes mundane interfaces to the physical world, which makes Internet operations somewhat mechanical, tedious, and less human-oriented. Filling a large void in the literature, Intelligent Technologies for Web Applications is one of the first books to focus on providing vita

The Asia-Paci?c region has emerged in recent years as one of the fastest g- wing regions in the world in the use of Web technologies as well as in making signi?cant contributions to WWW research and development. Since the ?rst Asia-Paci?c Web conference in 1998, APWeb has continued to provide a forum for researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners from around the world to share their rapidly evolving knowledge and to report new advances in WWW technologies and applications. APWeb 2004 received an overwhelming 386 full-paper submissions, including 375 research papers and 11 industrial papers from 20 countries and regions: A- tralia,Canada,China,France,Germany,Greece,HongKong,India,Iran,Japan, Korea, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, UK, USA, and Vietnam. Each submission was carefully reviewed by three members of the p- gram committee. Among the 386 submitted papers, 60 regular papers, 24 short papers, 15 poster papers, and 3 industrial papers were selected to be included in the proceedings. The selected papers cover a wide range of topics including Web services, Web intelligence, Web personalization, Web query processing, Web - ching, Web mining, text mining, data mining and knowledge discovery, XML database and query processing, work?ow management, E-commerce, data - rehousing, P2P systems and applications, Grid computing, and networking. The paper entitled “Towards Adaptive Probabilistic Search in Unstructured P2P - stems”, co-authored by Linhao Xu, Chenyun Dai, Wenyuan Cai, Shuigeng Zhou, and Aoying Zhou, was awarded the best APWeb 2004 student paper.
