Abstract
Web service deployment is hampered by the possibility of sudden variations in request volumes. Mechanisms exist to enhance scalability in times of heavy load when the delivered content is static. However, web services typically involve dynamic content, delivered through application servers which may have little to no support for adapting to varying loads in order to ensure timely delivery. In this paper we discuss why scaling dynamic content delivery under load is difficult, we present a technique for controlled service degradation to achieve this scalability, and we present experimental results evaluating its benefits.
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
