Abstract
Web sites have become increasingly complex and offer a large variety of services and contents. The proliferation of dynamic Web contents opens up new challenging performance and scalability issues. This paper addresses the characterization of dynamic Web contents by studying their update process. We identify parameters and metrics that describe the properties of Web pages and we derive an analytical model that captures their behavior. The model is then validated against simulation experiments.
This work has been supported by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR) under the FIRB-Perf project.
