Preliminary Call for Papers
===========================
The Fourth International Conference on
Web-Age Information Management
(WAIM 2003)
Chengdu, China
August 17 - 19, 2003
Conference Web site:
http://www.cs.wright.edu/~waim03/
With advances in the Internet and, in particular, various technologies around
the World-Wide Web, research on design, implementation, and management of
Internet and Web-based information systems has become increasingly important.
As more and more information of diverse types becomes available on the
Internet and Web, query and retrieval as well as the management of information
over the Internet become more complex and extremely difficult. Novel approaches
to develop and manage Internet and Web information systems are in high demand.
These issues have been the focus of discussions during the previous WAIM
conferences in Shanghai, China (June 2000), in Xi'an, China (July 2001) and in
Bejing, China (August 2002). These conferences were successful and each
attracted more than 100 participants from all over the world. WAIM '03 will
undoubtedly continue to provide a forum for researchers, professionals, and
industrial practitioners from around the world to share their rapidly evolving
knowledge and to report on new advances in Web-based information systems.
You are invited to submit original technical papers in English reporting recent
results in database and related fields. Both research papers and experience and
application papers are welcome. While research papers should report original
research work, experience and application papers should describe the development
and operations of challenging database related systems and applications.
In WAIM '03, proposals for demonstrations of novel and innovative systems are
also welcome. The Demos program is an important part of the technical program.
Proposals for demos should clearly describe what will be demonstrated and should
emphasize the most novel and interesting aspects of the system to be shown.
Chengdu is the center of South-West China, for science and technology, commerce,
finance as well as communication and transport. Chengdu is also a famous Chinese
historical and cultural city. It has a pleasant climate, exquisite lush
mountains, and beautiful rivers. Among its renowned scenic spots and historical
sites are Marquis Wu Shrine, Thatched Cottage Du Fu, and Dujiangyan Irrigation
System. Chengdu is also home of the giant panda. Chengdu also provides easy
access to many top tourist attractions, including the Three Gorges on the
Changjiang (Yangtze) River in the east; to Tibet, Jiuzhaigou, and Huanglong
Temple in the west; to the Terra-cotta Warriors of Xi'an in the north; and to
Mt. Emei and the Giant Buddha of Leshan in the south. There are frequent air
flights between Chengdu and the following cities: Hongkong, Kathmandu, Nagoya,
Bangkok, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, every major city in China, and many major
cities in Europe.
We expect that the WAIM technical programs will continue to be exciting. We
encourage you to join us in Chengdu, China, and take part in this exciting
and enriching event.

Advanced applications of databases
Agent technology and information management
Biological and genome information systems

Title:
Proxy-Based Acceleration of Dynamically Generated Content on the World
Wide Web: An Approach and Implementation
Abstract:
As Internet traffic continues to grow and web sites are becoming
increasingly complex, performance and scalability are major issues for
web sites. Web sites are increasingly relying on dynamic content
generation applications to provide web site visitors with dynamic,
interactive, and personalized experiences. However, dynamic content
generation comes with a cost -- each request requires computation as
well as communication across multiple components.
To address these issues, various dynamic content caching approaches have
been proposed. Proxy-based caching approaches store content at various
locations outside the site infrastructure and can improve web site
performance by reducing content generation delays, firewall processing
delays, and bandwidth required to transmit content from the back end
applications to the proxy cache. However, existing proxy-based caching
approaches either (a) cache at the page level, which does not guarantee
that correct pages are served and provides very limited reusability, or
(b) cache at the fragment level, which requires the use of pre-defined
page layouts. To address these issues, several back end caching
approaches have been proposed, including query result caching and
fragment level caching. While back end approaches guarantee the
correctness of results and offer the advantages of fine-grained caching,
they do not address firewall delays nor due they impact bandwidth
requirements.
In this research, we present an approach and an implementation of a
dynamic proxy caching technique which combines the benefits of both
proxy-based and back end caching approaches, yet does not suffer from
the above-mentioned limitations. Our dynamic proxy caching technique
allows granular, proxy-based caching where both the content and layout
can be dynamic. We present the results of an analysis characterizing the
performance of our proposed technique, which indicates that our approach
is capable of providing significant reductions in bandwidth. We have
also deployed our proposed dynamic proxy caching technique at a major
financial institution. The results of this implementation indicate that
our technique is capable of significant reductions in both bandwidth and
response times in real-world dynamic Web applications.
