Title
Dweb model: Representing Web 2.0 dynamism
Abstract
Due to the increase in the number and popularity of applications such as e-commerce or on-line booking systems, typical of the Web 2.0, dynamic contents are becoming more and more frequent. This trend suggests the review of widely accepted paradigms and models for the World Wide Web. As a system that is continuously changing, both in the offered applications and in its infrastructure, performance evaluation studies are a main concern to provide sound proposals when designing new web-related systems. Although the dynamism in the workload characterization has also been tackled in previous research, it has not been modeled in a precise way yet because of its complex nature. In this paper we propose the Dweb model which represents the dynamism of current web applications in the workload characterization. Dweb is based on three main concepts that allow to model dynamic workload: navigation, workload test and workload distribution. In addition, a dynamic workload generator has been implemented to show the practical application of the proposed model, which has been illustrated through a case study.
