Effiziente Distribution dynamischer Inhalte im Web

Abstract

Methods for efficient distribution of dynamic content are required to run high capacity Web applications economical. Those applications can be found especially around market information systems.The application and system architecture must be suited to respond user requests even during steep load peaks. To achieve this without inappropriate infrastructure investments, most of the database requests must be captured and processed on the application server layer. Such massively parallel systems are opening scaling paths along the more cost effective application server layer.Staging and multi-granular caching are cache based optimisation strategies that are used in certain application domains. However caching is always in conflict towards personalisation and real-time information.This conflict can be resolved by the Active Caching mechanism that is integrated in the presented IS.Foundation platform. This is shown by analysing the methods and mechanisms on several aspects of the use case.
