whitepaper AJAX and SAS: Smooth Web Applications2007-05-14 SAS Institute
  AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript And XML) is an approach to designing websites that emphasizes ease of use for end users. Using one of the new AJAX frameworks simplifies the creation of an AJAX enabled website. Additionally, using web services as a backend provider for SAS, an AJAX site can be created that allows users to request SAS information from a server and display it on a web site in a seamless manner. Step by step instructions for creating a AJAX-enabled, web service backend system working with SAS are provided.

whitepaper Enabling an Accessible Web 2.02007-05-08 Association for Computing Machinery
  The next generation of the Web is relying on new technologies to build rich interfaces and applications which enable community, collaboration, social networking and enhanced interactions. This has implication for people with disabilities who have come to rely on the Web to provide more independence, work opportunities, and social interactions. New specifications such as Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) are being developed which provide more semantic information about Web components and can enable enhanced accessibility. In addition, toolkits and testing tools are making it easier to reach the nirvana of accessibility by default in Web 2.0 projects.

whitepaper Mashup Styles, Part 1: Server-Side Mashups2007-05-01 Sun Microsystems
  Mashup can be designed in various ways. In one approach, called a server-side mashup, also known as a proxy-style mashup, services and content can be integrated on the server. There are a number of good reasons for using the server-side mashup approach, not the least of which is that the approach overcomes browser security restrictions that constrain XMLHttpRequests and the ability to access web sites across domains. This paper is the first in a series that examines some of the most common approaches, or styles, for doing mashups.

whitepaper Improve operational efficiencies and speed applications into production2007-05-01 IBM
  Competitive pressures, increased marketplace demands and the constant need to reduce expenses have only intensified the demands put on companies to develop and deploy their software applications as quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Adding to this pressure is a host of regulatory requirements and industry mandates that are forcing companies to assess how they develop, modify and track their applications from development to production.

Download this whitepaper to learn about IBM's solutions that offer an integrated solution to help companies unify development and deployment to improve operational efficiencies, reduce risk, gain lifecycle traceability and, most important, deliver applications into production faster.

whitepaper Load Testing 2.0 for Web 2.0: Simplifying performance validation for Rich Internet Applications2007-05-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Today, rich internet application (RIA) technologies are making dramatic inroads in corporate environments. One of the big reasons for the growth of RIA technologies is a better user experience. But while these rich next-generation applications promise a radically different customer experience, they also have the potential to overwhelm the servers and networks that deliver the content to client browsers. Before Ajax or other RIA technologies can be ready for prime time in your business, you need to verify that they can deliver enterprise-scale performance. This white paper helps uncover the many unknowns around stress testing Web 2.0 applications.

whitepaper Input Validation of Client-Server Web Applications Through Static Analysis2007-04-30 University of California
  While early web applications were created with all data processing done on the server, the expansion in the use of scripting languages embedded in web browsers (specifically, dialects of ECMAscript - JavaScript and JScript) in techniques such as AJAX have allowed for change in the design of web applications. They are no longer run solely on the server-side with a limited input interface of static boxes in an HTML form, but are combinations of two programs - a client program run by the web browser communicating with a server program. While new applications of this type bring benefits in usability, the additional complexity may introduce security problems.

whitepaper Developing Web Applications With COLLADA and X3D2007-03-25 Media Machines
  COLLADA and X3D are two royalty-free open standards that use XML schema technology to represent 3D content. With the growing pressure for tool vendors and content providers to use open standards rather than closed proprietary formats, many are wondering which standard they should implement. This whitepaper is intended to assist developers in understanding the similarities and differences between COLLADA and X3D, the design goals that informed their development, and how and where the two standards are used in practical applications. Rather than making a decision between the two technologies, many implementers will find that COLLADA and X3D can be used together as a powerful tool set for developing their Web and enterprise applications.

whitepaper Enterprise Transformation and Network Architecture: Constructing a Platform for Business Value Acceleration2007-03-01 Cisco Systems
  Whether the company is being strongly affected by globalization, outsourcing, private equity competition, increased regulation, or Web 2.0, it is clear that future requirements for enterprise computing will only be more demanding. To survive and prosper, companies must reduce operating costs, increase automation and control, and prepare to scale the number of business relationships they can support. Increasingly, the remedies to the challenging problems lead to one question: What is the role of the network? The transport-centric vision for the network is now giving way to a converged vision in which enterprise and network architecture meet separated by a framework called Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

whitepaper Introducing Ajax and OpenAjax2007-02-07 OpenAjax
  Ajax is a design approach and a set of techniques for delivering a highly interactive, desktop-like user experience for Web applications in popular HTML browsers. Ajax, which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, improves the user's Web application experience while retaining the HTML benefits of server-based application deployment. Ajax achieves desktop-like Web pages by having parts of a page reload, instead of the entire page, in response to user input. Instead of whole-page refreshes, small amounts of data are exchanged with the server behind the scenes, and the application remains usable by the end user. Ajax techniques therefore represent the continued evolution of DHTML to deliver Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) and the Web 2.0 experience.
