Data mashups are web applications that combine complementary (raw) data pieces from different data services or web data APIs to provide value added information to users. They became so popular over the last few years; their applications are numerous and vary from addressing transient business needs in modern enterprises. Even though data mashups have been the focus of many research works, they still face many challenging issues that have never been explored. The ranking of the data returned by a data mashup is one of the key issues that have received little consideration. Top-k query model ranks the pertinent answers according to a given ranking function and returns only the best results. This paper proposes two algorithms that optimize the evaluation of top-k queries over data mashups. These algorithms are built based on the web data APIs' access methods: bind probe and indexed probe.

The suitability of Web 2.0 technologies for learning has been widely discussed in the literature. The Web 2.0 term refers to what is understood as a change to a second version or generation of the web, with a distinct model for application development and design. This new model is based on enhanced communication and collaboration tools and services, information sharing, and interoperability. This trend has enabled the creation and development web-based communities, web-hosted services, and a diverse set of web applications. Some of the most known examples include social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, and blogs. This chapter reviews some of the major web 2.0-based tools and provides examples of their use in an educational setting. The goal of the chapter to expose readers to such tools, describe and exemplify their potential use in the classroom. We introduce Web 2.0 fundamental concepts, discuss its importance for educators, and suggest means for effective integration into the classroom. Readers in the field of education will find information and tools that can be applied in classrooms at the elementary school level to graduate- level classes. The chapter includes major challenges and key issues in the use of web 2.0 tools for learning, and serve as preview of the current trends in this environment.

It is shown that the application of the Internet technologies is relevant in the selection of crop production technologies and the formation of a rational composition of the machine-and-tractor fl eet taking into account the conditions and production resources of a particular agricultural enterprise. The work gives a short description of the web applications, namely “ExactFarming”, “Agrivi” and “AgCommand” that provide a possibility to select technologies and technical means of soil treatment, and their functions. “ExactFarming” allows to collect and store information about temperature, precipitation and weather forecast in certain areas, keep records of information about crops and make technological maps using expert templates. “Agrivi” allows to store and provide access to weather information in the fi elds with certain crops. It has algorithms to detect and make warnings about risks related to diseases and pests, as well as provides economic calculations of crop profi tability and crop planning. “AgCommand” allows to track the position of machinery and equipment in the fi elds and provides data on the weather situation in order to plan the use of agricultural machinery in the fi elds. The web applications presented hereabove do not show relation between the technologies applied and agro-climatic features of the farm location zone. They do not take into account the phytosanitary conditions in the previous years, or the relief and contour of the fi elds while drawing up technological maps or selecting the machine-and-tractor fl eet. Siberian Physical-Technical Institute of Agrarian Problems of Siberian Federal Scientifi c Center of AgroBioTechnologies of the Russian Academy of Sciences developed a software complex PIKAT for supporting machine agrotechnologies for production of spring wheat grain at an agricultural enterprise, on the basis of which there is a plan to develop a web application that will consider all the main factors limiting the yield of cultivated crops.

String searching is a common process in the processes that made the computer because the text is the main form of data storage. Boyer-Moore is the search string from right to left is considered the most efficient methods in practice, and matching string from the specified direction specifically an algorithm that has the best results theoretically. A system that is connected to a computer network that literally pick a web server that is accessed by multiple users in different parts of both good and bad aim. Any activity performed by the user, will be stored in Web server logs. With a log report contained in the web server can help a web server administrator to search the web request error. Web server log is a record of the activities of a web site that contains the data associated with the IP address, time of access, the page is opened, activities, and access methods. The amount of data contained in the resulting log is a log shed useful information.

Content is a key influencing factor in Web Quality of Experience (QoE) estimation. A web user’s satisfaction can be influenced by how long it takes to render and visualize the visible parts of the web page in the browser. This is referred to as the Above-the-fold (ATF) time. SpeedIndex (SI) has been widely used to estimate perceived web page loading speed of ATF content and a proxy metric for Web QoE estimation. Web application developers have been actively introducing innovative interactive features, such as animated and multimedia content, aiming to capture the users’ attention and improve the functionality and utility of the web applications. However, the literature shows that, for the websites with animated content, the estimated ATF time using the state-of-the-art metrics may not accurately match completed ATF time as perceived by users. This study introduces a new metric, Plausibly Complete Time (PCT), that estimates ATF time for a user’s perception of websites with and without animations. PCT can be integrated with SI and web QoE models. The accuracy of the proposed metric is evaluated based on two publicly available datasets. The proposed metric holds a high positive Spearman’s correlation (rs=0.89) with the Perceived ATF reported by the users for websites with and without animated content. This study demonstrates that using PCT as a KPI in QoE estimation models can improve the robustness of QoE estimation in comparison to using the state-of-the-art ATF time metric. Furthermore, experimental result showed that the estimation of SI using PCT improves the robustness of SI for websites with animated content. The PCT estimation allows web application designers to identify where poor design has significantly increased ATF time and refactor their implementation before it impacts end-user experience.

SummaryTask modelling has entered the development process of web applications, strengthening the usage-centred view within the early steps in Web-Engineering (WE). In current approaches, however, this view is not kept up during subsequent activities to the same degree as this is the case in the field of Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI). The modelling approach presented in this contribution combines models as known from WE with models used in HCI to change this situation. Basically the WE-HCI-integration is supported by combining task and object models as known from HCI with conceptual modelling known from WE. In this paper, the main focus is on the WebTaskModel, a task model adapted to web application concerns, and its contribution towards a task-related web user interface. The main difference to existing task models is the build-time and run-time usage of a generic task lifecycle. Hereby the description of exceptions and erroneous situations during task performance (caused by, e.g., the stateless protocol or Browser interaction) is enabled and at the same time clearly separated from the flow of correct action.

Web applications have become important but there are different types of security problems which could lead to tampering with details. The most common are cookies poisoning, structured query language, cross-site scripting and parameter tempering. This is the reason why most of the web companies today are verifying the type of content they receive and most importantly, from where the contents are originated. It has been thus noted from the above deduction that the major security threat has nothing to do with the Secure Socket Layer rather other layers in the web development program. In order to avoid such threats and other vulnerabilities, initial stages of the web development cycle need to be taken care of.Thus, the main focus of this research paper is to come up with a framework that would help to strengthen the security of the various stages in the web development cycle. For the same, various modules and life cycles have been used.

As we know internet has become a very important factor in our day today life. It is a wide media for communication and exchange of ideas for people staying in any nook and corner of the world. We have proposed a system in which we are developing a speech interactive web application services. Our main aim is to provide these services to the special ones who are unable to make use of the current system so efficiently. In our proposed work we are mainly focusing on the WEB APPLICATIONS. Many a times the disabled people are unable to access internet, for them this system will help to download news, or even access their mails through speech. Our proposed system mainly deals with the ability to handle web applications along with the O.S, mouse and keyboard control through speech, so that they can be used by persons without the use of the hands to develop an interface between the computer and the user. In our proposal we have used SAPI .It provides commands to the main central application which is handled by the GUI. Thus we look forward to develop web application through speech interaction.
