Presentation: "Monitoring Web 2.0 applications"
Time: Friday 14:30 - 15:30
Location: Cornell
With all the hype surrounding Web 2.0, developing Web 2.0 applications is an experience that leaves a lot to be desired. This talk focuses on two very recent projects that address Web 2.0 application development challenges.
Ajax View recently released by Microsoft Research is a platform for monitoring Web 2.0 application such as Live Maps and Gmail within the end-user browser. Ajax View allows for a wide variety of instrumentation policies including that let the developer gain insight into the behavior of remotely executing code. We have developed policies for performance profiling, finding optimization opportunities, finding bugs such as memory leaks, etc.
Another tool, Rotunda picks up where Ajax View left off, providing end-to-end detailed performance profiling information for distributed Web 2.0 applications.
