Web Applications and Web Services: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Software components that rely on the Internet in order to be accessed and used cover many aspects of our daily activities including email checking, weather checking, purchase ordering, and Facebook logging. Nowadays, these components are considered one of the most valuable and fundamental rights in human’s life. However, accessing and using the functionality of such components are performed using two techniques: web applications or traditional web services. Determining which one of the techniques is better suited for delivering the functionality of an Internet-based software component is not an easy task to decide. Therefore, this paper aimed to make a comparative analysis and study of both techniques alongside many directions to help web developers make the right choice to deliver the functionality of Internet-based software components. This is achieved by providing them with a set of requirements that have been proposed by the authors. The proposed requirements clarify a number of misunderstandings and issues peculiar to both techniques. Furthermore, this paper has provided a comparative table of both techniques. To the best of our knowledge, so far there is no comprehensive comparative study has been conducted in this context which was the rationale for the authors to carry out this study.

Peningkatan Keamanan Aplikasi Web Menggunakan Web Application Firewall (WAF) Pada Sistem Informasi Manajemen Kampus Terintegrasi

“…Pemanfaatan layanan jaringan interconnection networking (internet) dan komputer berkembang secara pesat dalam berbagai bidang, sehingga memberikan banyak kemudahan dalam mengakses berbagai macam informasi [1]. Dalam implementasinya sistem informasi atau aplikasi berbasis web berisikan web page dan web server [2]. Web page berisi dokumen yang disusun dengan format Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) dan format lainnya yang berhubungan dengan web programming yang diakses melewati Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) [3].…”

Smart Egg Incubator Based on Microcontroller: A Review

“…The artificial egg incubator may be used to hatch a variety of eggs. An innovative egg incubator can provide a consistent environment for eggs to hatch based on microcontroller and IoT [1,2]. It will keep eggs warm on all sides by rotating them continually at a set period, allowing the embryos to develop within and hatch without the need for the mother's presence or human or farmer involvement.…”

Performance evaluation of relationa embedded databases: an empirical study

“…Besides, it is not shared or networked (only one software application could access the embedded database file at any time). Compared to traditional databases (also called client-server databases) which are often used in web applications, web services, and distributed software applications (16) , traditional databases are more complicated. For example, they require monitoring and managing of data sharing mechanisms, servers configuration, servers failure solution, and servers maintenance) (3) .…”
