Graph-based Optimistic Transaction Management.

Vast quantities of information is now being stored online. Web applications currently rely on monolithic storage structures which place the sole responsibility of data storage, protection and maintenance on the web application provider. This research introduces the concept of a de-centralised approach for information storage online. Distributed storage techniques are used to address concerns with the classic monolithic approach while also addressing issues such as data ownership concerns for personal information. The research results in the presentation on an API that allows distributed storage of information with seamless integration of data into the traditional Web 2.0 model.

A Distributed Content Storage Model for Web Applications

“…The web browser itself can be viewed as a distributed execution platform, especially due to recent developments in web browser 'plugin' and 'extension' technology. Enhancements to the web browser model to support a lower-level of component execution have been suggested (Henskens and Ashton, 2007) and may provide a stepping stone for a complete component-based solution.…”

OVERCAST SKIES - What Cloud Computing Should Be?

From an consumer perspective the Cloud is opaque. Online storage and the rise of web applications are changing the way users work. There continues though to be no distinction from a user experience point of view between accessing a Cloud-based application and accessing a web application deployed on a classic server. We propose a new paradigm for online application development which takes the best from web applications, thick client applications and the new "application store" market. This approach expands the cloud to encompass all resources that belong to a user; be it local client resources or server-farm resources procured using a traditional cloud model. By implementing these concepts we can bring the benefits of cloud computing directly to the end user while breaking developers out of the confines of the web browser.

“…As described in (Henskens and Ashton, 2007), there are similarities in the information recorded in stability DDGs and the information required for transaction management and concurrency control. However, there are also differences between stability and concurrency control requirements, namely:…”

“…These edges can be used, with appropriate logic at the time of edge insertion (the completion of a browser request-response) or COMMIT/ABORT-TRX events, to implement an optimistic transaction control mechanism. Moreover, the technique has been shown to perform as well as the better of conventional pessimistic or optimistic transaction management over a wide range of transaction sizes, levels of concurrent activity, distribution of involved objects and object store sizes (Ashton, 2004, Henskens andAshton, 2007).…”

Web Service Transaction Management

Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Software and Data Technologies

2007

This paper describes extension of the functionality of conventional web browsers to produce a new enhanced web browser. Each instance of this enhanced browser is part of a federation of browser instances that use a directed graph-based technique to provide transaction and hence concurrency control over access to web services. These 'super browsers' communicate with web-based services across the Internet, application code that may be obtained from the Internet but then executes as a local program, and with other browser instances. 2 CLIENT-SERVICE INTERACTION It is interaction with external programs that underpins the motivation for the suggestion of a 112 A.
