“…6 (t caching (page) − t static (page))/t static (page) Fourth, in our tested scenario, some Micasa pages gain an advantage over the static case due to increased data parallelism. In the Micasa cases, the browser can fetch data from up to ten stores based on the number of personal stores involved.…”

Users of hosted web-based applications implicitly trust that those applications, and the data that is within them, will remain active and available indefinitely into the future. When a service is terminated, for reasons such as the insolvency of the business that is providing it, users risk the immediate loss of software functionality and may face the permanent loss of their own data. This paper presents Micasa, a runtime for hosted applications that allows a significant subset of application logic and user data to remain available even in the event of the failure of a provider's business. By allowing users to audit application dependence on hosted components, and maintain externalized and private copies of their own data and the logic that allows access to it, we believe that Micasa is a first step in the direction of a more balanced degree of trust and investment between application providers and their users.

“…Menagerie [6] presents a system that allows applications to aggregate data across cloud services, by encapsulating access to objects inside capabilities. In both Menagerie and Micasa, capabilities provide uniform access mechanisms to objects stored on heterogeneous services, and are at the basis of sharing.…”

“…Systems have also been built that guarantee sandboxing of third-party applications [49], but these do not address hiding information from the service provider. Finally, researchers have developed approaches that enable sharing of provider-hosted content among different providers and with the user's local machine [21]; however, these do not address the issue of privacy from the centralized provider.…”

With the increasing popularity of Web-based services, users today have access to a broad range of free sites, including social networking, microblogging, and content sharing sites. In order to offer a service for free, service providers typically monetize user content, selling results to third parties such as advertisers. As a result, users have little control over their data or privacy. A number of alternative approaches to architecting today's Web-based services have been proposed, but they suffer from limitations such as relying the creation and installation of additional client-side software, providing insufficient reliability, or imposing an excessive monetary cost on users.In this paper, we present Priv.io, a new approach to building Web-based services that offers users greater control and privacy over their data. We leverage the fact that today, users can purchase storage, bandwidth, and messaging from cloud providers at fine granularity: In Priv.io, each user provides the resources necessary to support their use of the service using cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services. Users still access the service using a Web browser, all computation is done within users' browsers, and Priv.io provides rich and secure support for third-party applications. An implementation demonstrates that Priv.io works today with unmodified versions of common Web browsers on both desktop and mobile devices, is both practical and feasible, and is cheap enough for the vast majority users.

“…While their goal is to manage relational data through HTTP interface, our goal is to manage Web resources that follow the hierarchical resource model. Geambasu et al proposed Menagerie, a FUSE (Filesystem in USEerspace) proxy to access Web APIs [13]. Unfortunately, Menagerie provides no search query and statistics, since it is based on a file system like mod atom.…”

SUMMARYWeb APIs are offered in many Web sites for Ajax and mashup, but they have been developed independently since no reusable database component has been specifically created for Web applications. In this paper, we propose WapDB, a distributed database management system for the rapid development of Web applications. WapDB is designed on Atom, a set of Web API standards, and provides several of the key features required for Web applications, including efficient access control, an easy extension mechanism, and search and statistics capabilities. By introducing WapDB, developers are freed from the need to implement these features as well as Web API processing. In addition, its design totally follows the REST architectural style, which gives uniformity and scalability to applications. We develop a proof-of-concept application with WapDB, and find that it offers great cost effectiveness with no significant impact on performance; in our experiments, the development cost is reduced to less than half with the overhead (in use) of response times of just a few msec. key words: Web API, database management system, REST
