XWADF: Architectural Pattern for Improving Performance of Web Applications
Ever since the advent of World Wide Web (WWW) web sites and their usage has become part of day-to-day life. Enterprises reach global audience through web applications. People of all walks of life need to use web applications in one way or other. Performance of web applications plays a key role in attracting new users and retaining existing ones. In this paper, we investigate the design patterns that can improve performance of web applications. We propose a new architectural pattern comprising design patterns for highly scalable and interactive web application development. Our architecture is known as extensible Web Application Development Framework (XWADF). Our design does not reinvent the wheel, but explores possibilities to leverage the performance of web applications through the appropriate use of various design patterns within confines of MVC (Model View Controller). Particularly we throw light into the performance of web applications by improving response time and throughput. We use corresponding metrics to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed architectural pattern. The empirical results revealed that our approach to design web applications outperforms existing approaches.
Keywords: Web applications, design patterns, architectural pattern, response time, and throughput
