This thesis presents an empirical analysis of the performance of WebTransport and WebSocket using the Socket.IO framework under varying network conditions. The thesis investigates two primary experiments, message round trip time and multiplexing performance, both conducted under three scenarios—perfect network (0% packet loss), moderate network (5% packet loss), and poor network (15% packet loss). The experiments were conducted on a system running Fedora 40 with a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12600K processor and 16 GB of memory. The findings demonstrate that WebTransport mitigates Head-of-Line (HOL) blocking more effectively than WebSocket, especially in environments with degraded networks. WebTransport (Reliable) provided a significant performance advantage under suboptimal network conditions when measuring message round trip time, while WebTransport (Unreliable) consistently demonstrated slightly lower latency but with some data loss. When multiplexing, WebTransport showed significant performance benefits compared to using WebSocket.

The increase in connectivity and use of “smart” devices offers companies new possibilities to improve their efficiency by using digitalization. For example, booking of meeting rooms have gone from using a paper calendar to electronic booking. To enable both digital remote booking, as well as being able to book a room directly (as with a paper calendar) this project has developed a room manager system. The room manager is a device that provides a quick and intuitive way for employees to handle conference room booking. The project was started on behalf of the company ÅF, who would like to optimize their use of conference rooms.  The result was a fully functional touchscreen device built using a Raspberry Pi. The room manager integrates successfully with the existing calendar system used at ÅF and meets all the requirements set by ÅF. The device will be used to determine if a room manager system is worth investing in and may be used as a foundation for continued development.

This master's thesis deals with design and implementation of educational application forpaging. Goal of the application is to help students understand and practice some conceptsfrom paging. It will allow students to write parts of these concepts and see how their codework on visualization of simulation of memory system. Application will be implemented asa web application in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Server, which will be taking care ofcompiling of user code will be a desktop application. This thesis mainly describes pagingand technologies which will be used for this thesis and application design. It also describesimplementations and testing of this work.

The presented work deals with the development of a monitoring system for monitoring the operation of the laboratory. The theoretical part of the work includes information on the safety of operation and work in biological laboratories, measured physical quantities and the principle of their measurement. The monitoring system is built on a compact ESP32-CAM camera and a WeMos D1 development board. The practical part consists of the design and implementation of a given system and the creation of a full-stack application for displaying live input from the laboratory for monitoring measured quantities in real time.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is the primary method for enabling asynchronous communication over the Web. Although AJAX is providing warranted real-time capabilities to the Web, it requires unconventional programming methods at the expense of extensive resource usage. WebSockets, which is an emerging protocol, has the potential to address many challenges with implementing asynchronous communication over the Web. There, however, has been no in-depth study that quantitatively compares AJAX and WebSockets. This thesis therefore provides two contributions to Web development. First, it provides an experience report for adding real-time monitoring support over the Web to the Open-source Architecture of Software Instrumentation of Systems(OASIS), which is open-source real-time instrumentation middleware for distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. Secondly, it quantitatively compares using AJAX and WebSockets to stream collected instrumentation data over the Web in real-time. Results from quantitative comparison between WebSockets and AJAX show that a WebSockets server consumes 50% less network bandwidth than an AJAX server; a WebSockets client consumes memory at constant rate, not at an increasing rate; and WebSockets can send up to 215.44% more data samples when consuming the same amount network bandwidth as AJAX.
