Systematic Load Testing of Web ApplicationsJürg Stuker
Talk held at the conference Coding Serbia in Novi Sad.
Performance of web applications is a crucial dissatisfier for users and thus an important quality criteria -- also used by Google to rank their result lists. As with other quality aspects, performance testing cannot be done at the end of a project but is an integral part of the development process.
The practice presentations submitted explains web performance testing along practical examples in order to better understand and judge cause and effect of behavior observed. Usually few causes have a disproportionate effect on bad performance. In addition, it is important to understand diverse load and test scenarios to optimize application behavior.
The presentation also introduces a methodology to systematically define and assess performance metrics of an application. The content is based on open source tools and the presentation includes live testing to illustrate the excellent cost benefit ratio of systematically white box testing of performance using an HTTP proxy.

Brian Kelly and Paul Walk, SaaSy APIs (Openness in the Cloud)museums and the web
A presentation from Museums and the Web 2009.
The MW2008 conference featured a professional forum on "What Does Openness Mean To The Museums Community?" which generated much interest. The main focus of discussion during the forum was on open content and use of Creative Commons licences, with additional discussions covering open standards and open source software. But the next step in opening up the museum sector might be the exploitation of open APIs and greater use of Software as a Service (SaaS).
What are the potential benefits which Open APIs and SaaS seek to provide? What about the associated risks in moving from an environment in which software is installed and managed either locally or by a hosting agency with formal contractual agreements to a environment in which there may be no formal agreements, the services may be hosted in different countries and governed by different legal frameworks? And at a time of global economic uncertainties is it sensible to be seeking to make use of Open APIs and SaaS at the current time?
This mini-workshop will seek to encourage open discussion and debate on these questions. The outcomes of the mini-workshop will be an awareness of ways in which open APIs and SaaS are being exploited within the sector and a better understanding of the approaches which should be taken in order to maximise the potential benefits of this approach.

The defense was successful in portraying Michael Jackson favorably to the jury in several ways:
1) They dressed Jackson in ornate costumes that conveyed images of purity, innocence, and humility.
2) Jackson was shown entering the courtroom as if on a red carpet, emphasizing his celebrity status.
3) Jackson appeared vulnerable, childlike, and in declining health during the trial, eliciting sympathy from jurors.
4) Defense attorney Tom Mesereau effectively presented a coherent narrative of Jackson as a victim and portrayed Neverland as a place of refuge, undermining the prosecution's arguments.
Michael Jackson was born in 1958 in Gary, Indiana and rose to fame in the 1960s as the lead singer of The Jackson 5, topping music charts in the 1970s. As a solo artist in the 1980s, his album Thriller broke music records. In the 1990s and 2000s, Jackson faced several legal issues related to child abuse allegations while continuing to release music. He married Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe and had two children before his death in 2009.

This document appears to be a list of popular books from various authors. It includes over 150 book titles across many genres such as fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, and novels. The books cover a wide range of topics from politics to cooking to autobiographies.
The prosecution lost the Michael Jackson trial due to several key mistakes and weaknesses in their case:
1) The lead prosecutor, Thomas Sneddon, was too personally invested in the case against Jackson, having pursued him for over a decade without success.
2) Sneddon's opening statement was disorganized and weak, failing to effectively outline the prosecution's case.
3) The accuser's mother was not credible and damaged the prosecution's case through her erratic testimony, history of lies and con artist behavior.
4) Many prosecution witnesses were not credible due to prior lawsuits against Jackson, debts owed to him, or having been fired by him. Several witnesses even took the Fifth Amendment.

“A collection of application services spread over networked computers, which clients use remotely via middleware services”
Application services: represent physical and logical concepts such as a printer (hardware service) and a chat room (software service)
Middleware services: bridge the gap between application services and network operating system to make life easier for application programmers including; Lookup, transaction, remote-event, etc.
1-reflection techniques are similar to self-adaptive software but self-adaptation exceeds the capabilities of reflection.
(“ reflection can modify themselves at run time and change their behaviours but it can’t determine when and what the program needs to modify itself in run time”)
2- one of the key architecture concepts for self-adaptive software is a “reconfiguration “ which refer to a system that switches the control regime based on the runtime situation
3-As a new modelling paradigm self-adaptive software approaches provides two interactions; namely feedforward process from model to the executable and feedback process from execution to reconfiguration
4- it generalize software engineering as its adaptive control in the sense that the system will switch to a different algorithm when the environment changes.
