The Web paradigm adds a whole new level of complexity to traditional application development. The phrase “You’ve got just 15 seconds to grab a user’s attention” is fast becoming a cliché, but it really sums up the idea. You’re no longer just creating an application, but a commercial or a TV show, and the user has his or her hand on the remote. It’s called surfing the Web for a reason. As a developer, you need to be keenly aware of the impact of architectural and implementation decisions on application performance and scalability. With this technology, as we are discovering, we are still dealing with a client/server model.

The trend of data intensive grid applications has brought grid storage protocols and servers into focus. The objective of this study is to gain an understanding of how time is spent in the storage protocols and servers. The storage protocols have a variety of tuning parameters. Some parameters improve single client performance at the expense of in- creased server load, thereby limiting the number of served clients. What ultimately matters is the throughput of the whole system. Some param- eters increase the flexibility or security of the system at some expense. The objective of this study is to make such trade-o?s clear and enable easy full system optimization.

Eclipse was mainly designed to be a tooling platform, but with Version 3.0, Eclipse is now evolving toward a Rich Client Platform (RCP). This change, driven by the open-source community, brought a whole set of new requirements and challenges for the Eclipse platform, such as dynamic plug-in management, services, security, and improved performance. This paper describes the path from the proprietary Eclipse 2.1 runtime to the new Eclipse 3.0 runtime based on OSGie speci?cations. It details the motivation for such a change and discusses the challenges this change presented. 1 Although Eclipse was initially created to serve as an open platform for tools, its architecture was designed so that its components could be used to build essentially any client application.

Google ABSTRACT We have designed and implemented the Google File System, a scalable distributed file system for large distributed data-intensive applications. It provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware, and it delivers high aggregate performance to a large number of clients.
