whitepaper Next Generation Internet Interaction System: Thelma2006-02-22 Marratech
  This paper presents the Next Generation Internet Interaction: Thelma which would allow for unobtrusive web based rich interaction using Ajax components in a web browser. Thelma builds on the idea of the Web 2.0 paradigm where the web browser will be the users central work tool. The Thelma system would cut down on the barrier hindering rich interaction and allowing any user with a modern web browser to be able to interact with other users on the Internet and interact with existing e-meeting users. Web site creators would be able to enhance their sites with components for rich interaction as well as be able to create user interfaces to rich meetings online to their own liking.

whitepaper A Visual Architectural Approach to Maintaining Web Applications2006-01-10 University of Waterloo
  Web applications are complex software systems which contain a rich structure with many relations between their components. Web developers are faced with many challenges when they need to gain a better understanding of these applications to maintain or evolve them. Current development tools focus primarily on implementation, with little support for the application's evolution. Web developers need tools to assist in the evolution and maintenance of web applications. This paper presents an approach to assist developers in understanding the structure of their web application.

whitepaper Isolated Web Browsing: Enforcing OS-Like Isolation for Browsers2005-12-16 University of California
  The rising popularity of web-based applications has forced the browser into a role for which it was not designed. Multiple applications run within the same process and have access to the browser's disk-based state, despite being conceptually separate. Most browsers attempt to address these issues, yet bugs are inevitable in software of such complexity. The authors investigate an orthogonal solution to these issues. Using the system, called CleverNameHere, they are able to separate distinct applications into separate OS processes, and appropriately restrict access to disk-based state.

whitepaper "Mosaic Layouts": How and Why to Avoid Creating Puzzle-Looking Websites2005-12-02 SoftLogica
  When your visitors browse a webpage, their browsing experience depends on many things that you already know - connection speed, computer hardware and software, internet provider are just a few. However, the role that good web design plays in browsing speed is often under-recognized. Pictures and graphics as a navigation aid are often a powerful 'hook' for customers, and can easily enhance a browsing session. When incorrectly used, they can create bottlenecks that hamper the message your site needs to send.

whitepaper Fitnesse Testing for Fast-Paced Agile Web Development2005-11-22 Sun Microsystems
  The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the use of Fitnesse by agile web development teams. It first will discuss some of the reasons that agile web development teams would want to adopt a rapid release schedule. Next it will suggest that Fitnesse is a viable testing tool for use with this schedule. Then it will provide a number of examples to demonstrate the simplicity and power of Fitnesse. Finally, it will provide tips regarding Fitnesse test writing.

whitepaper FireFox Plug-Ins for the Discerning Web Developer2005-11-21 DMXzone.com
  One of the useful features of the FireFox browser is its extensibility. Given the nature of its early adopters, many of the plugins available are there to make the web designer or developers job easier. This paper will look at some of the more useful ones, how they can be used to enhance the testing work-flow once the site is built in Dream weaver and techniques that they make available to use and why one would want to use them.

whitepaper Extracting Objects From the Web2005-11-10 Microsoft
  Extracting and integrating object information from the Web is of great significance for Web data management. The existing Web information extraction techniques cannot provide satisfactory solution to the Web object extraction task since objects of the same type are distributed in diverse Web sources, whose structures are highly heterogeneous. This paper proposes a novel approach called Object-Level Information Extraction (OLIE) to extract Web objects. This approach extends a classic information extraction algorithm, Conditional Random Fields (CRF), by adding Web-specific information. The experimental results show OLIE can significantly improve the Web object extraction accuracy.

whitepaper Requirements-Driven Configuration of Software Systems2005-10-31 University of Toronto
  Configuring large-scale software to meet different user requirements is a challenging process, since end-users do not know the technical details of the system in the first place. The authors presents an automatic process to connect high-level user requirements with low-level system's configurations. The process takes into account different user preferences and expectations, making configuration easier and more user-centered. Since it reuses a software system's configuration mechanisms, the configuration process is transparent to the system development. Moreover, it is very easy to plug different reasoning frameworks into the configuration process. As a case study, the authors have reengineered the Mozilla Firefox web browser into a requirements-driven software system, without changing its source code.

whitepaper Studying Appropriation in Activity-Centric Collaboration2005-09-08 IBM
  This paper describes a case study of appropriation of a research prototype by a 33- member research community, leading to reinvention of the prototype and a successful transfer to product. Based on those experiences, the paper proposes some lessons learned about designing for appropriation. This paper contains two sections. The major section describes a case study of appropriation in an activity-centric collaboration environment. The second section proposes lessons learned about designing for appropriation in collaborative computing environments.
