Poultry Farming

Poultry farming has a very good business potential (Mohammad Khairu Islam, Mohammed Forhad Uddin, 2014) since they are fast growing animals meaning the business has potential to generate high return on investment under a short period of time. For example past days it took about four months for a chicken to become two kilograms, however these days a two kilogram chicken can be produced within 42 days (Hamra, 2010). Despite the fact that poultry farming has good business potential there are some obstacles which hinder the poultry business success such as lack of market linkage. Even with advancement of technology which has brought affordable smartphones to most of the livestock farmers, potential livestock information systems in Tanzania are used by very few livestock farmers and some are not used at all (Mussa et al., 2016). It is not that users do not need the system, nor the system does not show any potential for them, but depend on its usability and how well it suited to the user requirements based on their differences. Users of the system have a lot of differences including exposure to technology (Kalimullah & Sushmitha, 2017). It is now as more important than ever that web applications provide a good user experience which was once considered luxury or an added expenses (Juan, 2014; Ross, 2014). Web based platform for reliable market linkage has been developed with more focus on usability and user experience design. Eye tracking method combined with retrospective think aloud method and facial expression was used to test user experience of the developed web application. The result shows that users were emotionally happy when performing the second and the third tasks. But when performing the first task and the last task users were emotionally anxiety and disappointed.

User Experience Design

Current m-learning media are available in both native application and web-based application forms which create different user experience. Also, as the learners generally have diverse preferences and needs, a single style of m-learning may not meet such requirements. In order to formulate better and more attractive interaction between the learner and m-learning system, this study introduces augmented reality (AR) to both native and web applications as a means to improve captivation and create new user experience. A single group of learners is selected to try both types of application. The researcher groups the learner by learning style, using Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model, and then determines effectiveness of both forms of m-learning through an experiment. Experiment showed that all 4 learner groups were more satisfied with AR-enhanced native application based on user experience design due to its attractiveness and entertainment.

With the mounting demand of web applications, a number of issues allied to its quality have came in existence. In the meadow of web applications, it is very thorny to develop high quality web applications. A design pattern is a general repeatable solution to a generally stirring problem in software design. It should be noted that design pattern is not a finished product that can be directly transformed into source code. Rather design pattern is a depiction or template that describes how to find solution of a problem that can be used in many different situations. Past research has shown that design patterns greatly improved the execution speed of a software application. Design pattern are classified as creational design patterns, structural design pattern, behavioral design pattern, etc. MVC design pattern is very productive for architecting interactive software systems and web applications. This design pattern is partition-independent, because it is expressed in terms of an interactive application running in a single address space. We will design and analyze an algorithm by using MVC approach to improve the performance of web based application. The objective of our study will be to reduce one of the major object oriented features i.e. coupling between model and view segments of web based application. The implementation for the same will be done in by using .NET framework.

Cross Site Request Forgery

Today’s contemporary business world has incorporated Web Services and Web Applications in its core of operating cycle nowadays and security plays a major role in the amalgamation of such services and applications with the business needs worldwide. OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) states that the effectiveness of security mechanisms in a Web Application can be estimated by evaluating the degree of vulnerability against any of the nominated top ten vulnerabilities, nominated by the OWASP. This paper sheds light on a number of existing tools that can be used to test for the CSRF vulnerability. The main objective of the research is to identify the available solutions to prevent CSRF attacks. By analyzing the techniques employed in each of the solutions, the optimal tool can be identified. Tests against the exploitation of the vulnerabilities were conducted after implementing the solutions into the web application to check the efficacy of each of the solutions. The research also proposes a combined solution that integrates the passing of an unpredictable token through a hidden field and validating it on the server side with the passing of token through URL.

Model View

We have observed two prevalent design paradigms for web applications: those who start from an existing data or process definition and project from that outward toward the user, and those conversely who start from a sense of desired user experience and derive from that required data and process elements. Design methods which seem natural to one community may look overly abstract, layered with unnecessary separation of concerns, and academic to no purpose. Conversely, others may be frustrated by a seeming lack of concern for reuse, valid content, and support for multiple design roles all of which may argue for additional architectural layers. Due to affinity of current web presentation technology to JSON encoded data, many times the choice to start with user experience precludes re-use of existing XML data. We present an approach to bridging this methodology and data divide by working within the conventions of existing web application frameworks to introduce incremental separation of concerns such as Model-View layering with interfaces and behavior suited to the introduction of XML-based technologies such as XForms at the model layer. In this way we hope to provide incremental means to adopt first a separation of concerns that supports packaging and reuse of model data and behavior, and secondly an XML-based technology for such data models that supports convenient projection of existing business data and process definitions to the client for user interaction.

Web-based applications has turn out to be very prevalent due to the ubiquity of web browsers to deliver service oriented application on-demand to diverse client over the Internet and cross site scripting (XSS) attack is a foremost security risk that has continuously ravage the web applications over the years. This paper critically examines the concept of XSS and some recent approaches for detecting and preventing XSS attacks in terms of architectural framework, algorithm used, solution location, and so on. The techniques were analysed and results showed that most of the available recognition and avoidance solutions to XSS attacks are more on the client end than the server end because of the peculiar nature of web application vulnerability and they also lack support for self-learning ability in order to detect new XSS attacks. Few researchers as cited in this paper inculcated the self-learning ability to detect and prevent XSS attacks in their design architecture using artificial neural networks and soft computing approach; a lot of improvement is still needed to effectively and efficiently handle the web application security menace as recommended.

<span lang="EN-US">The objective of evaluating User Experience (UX) in this era of technology is to enhance the user satisfaction. Earlier applications were built with the aim of reducing the work of users. But with the evolution of the technology, the emergence of new gadgets and new trends in the information technology, the applications had to be more user-centric. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the user experience of web applications based on different UX parameters using different techniques and given a rating. Each of these ratings are combined to determine the overall rating of UX for the web application. Also, the secondary objective of this research is to provide suggestions or recommendations based on the ratings to improve the UX of the web applications. An experimental study was conducted and the results show a significant improvement. Areas of further enhancements have also been identified and presented.</span>

The Web

Undeniably the most favored web scripting language is PHP. Almost 80% of the internet’s server-side web applications are written in PHP which includes big giants like WordPress, Wikipedia, and Facebook. In present-day, at an accelerating pace, the quantity of digital content is burgeoning. A heterogeneous set of users' devices is being amassed by these contents and administering these contents manually is an infeasible solution engendering an increasing set of problems. A solution to this problem would be to switch to a web programming language, which can be compiled. We are describing an easy to deploy and a continuous conversion mechanism for converting existing Web 2.0 PHP application systems into Facebook’s HHVM supported Hack server-side application systems. We are trying to use the power of Hack language and amplify the performance of existing PHP server-side applications. Instead of interpreting all of your code Hack translates it to assembly and runs that instead, which can lead to an immense amount of increase in performance. We are using Hacktificator, a tool developed by Facebook Developers and our demo web application running on HHVM to test and convert user’s existing PHP codebase to Hack language. With this proposed methodology we do not have to make any change to existing codebase manually or hire new engineers for the conversion, nor do we have to take down our live systems. Conversion can be done on the fly and will result in approximately 2x to 20x better performance. The availability of this tool can save costs for manual conversion, save time as well as improve the user experience of websites with better performance

Web-based systems and applications now deliver a complex array of functionality to a large number of diverse groups of users. As our dependence and reliance on the Web has increased dramatically over the years, their performance, reliability and quality have become paramount importance. As a result, the development of Web applications has become more complex and challenging than most of us think. In many ways, it is also different and more complex than traditional software development. But, currently, the development and maintenance of most Web applications is chaotic and far from satisfactory. To successfully build and maintain large, complex Web-based systems and applications, Web developers need to adopt a disciplined development process and a sound methodology. The emerging discipline of Web engineering advocates a holistic, disciplined approach to successful Web development. In this chapter, we articulate and raise awareness of the issues and considerations in large, complex Web application development, and introduce Web engineering as a way of managing complexity and diversity of large-scale Web development.
