This Master's thesis focuses on the issue of responsive design creation and comparison of the particular patterns aiming to customizable website. The theoretical part discusses the majority of available possibilities for achieving a responsive design and their general purpose. The practical part covers the use of the particular patterns on the specific web presentation. The thesis includes three similar websites using the responsive design particular patterns without frontend frameworks and, subsequently, their utilization. Their testing served as a means for recommendation for the practice. Another part of the thesis is the summarization of cascading style sheets development with the focus on the responsive design and comparison of two frontend frameworks selected by the author.

The diploma thesis compares first and second version of the PHP framework Zend Framework. It examines framework architecture and technology changes that were brought about by its second version released stable in September 2012. It demonstrates the changes using a practical example application and evaluates them by a set of diverse criteria. The introductory part of the thesis characterizes and classifies web frameworks and determines their place among other software frameworks. In the subsequent part the thesis looks into fundamental characteristics and history of Zend Framework and puts it into its place among web frameworks based on their previous classification. The practical part, that represents the majority of thesis, demonstrates the differences between the first and the second version of Zend Framework using the example application, starting with framework installation and configuration, describing its architecture and ending with evaluation of its speed and security.

For my thesis work I have done an evaluation of the newly released Microsoft developed web framework Blazor. My methodology is based upon a couple of previous articles about evaluating web frameworks. From these articles I have gathered a number of criteria used in my evaluation: documentation, lines of code,community size, framework usage, framework maturity, framework freshness, browser support and framework cost. Additionally, since Blazor is based on C# instead of JavaScript, I have included a 9th criterion, comparing JavaScript with C#. Many of the criteria need some kind of counterpart for Blazor to be compared with, for this purpose I have mainly used the established web framework Angular, and in some cases Ember.js. When evaluating, I have not expected Blazor to exceed Angular. Rather I have counted all cases where Blazor can at least be considered comparable to Angular (or Ember.js) as favourable.I found that overall Blazor did very well in the comparison as 6 out of the 8 criteria I took from the articles evaluated favourably for Blazor. The two criteria where I found Blazor lacking were framework usage and framework maturity. While there are large numbers of showcases and example sites I did not find any large production websites developed with Blazor, and for obvious reasons the framework that was officially released earlier this year has yet to reach a mature state. Furthermore I found the extra criteria, JavaScript vs C#, was favourable to Blazor.Thus, my conclusion is that Blazor is certainly worth picking up for new projects. I argue that even though the framework is not yet fully mature it has come far in its short lifespan, and that even though Blazor is not widely used yet it is unlikely to go away considering that it is developed and supported by a large company like Microsoft.

As more and more research are carried out in the field of distributed user interface some aspects of the it are still missing.In this report I will propose a method to how we can manage distributed objects and events in a distributed user interface environment that is suitable for a developer.An implementation with focus on the developers creativity, understandability and maintainability has been made on an existing framework.The results show how the solution can be applied to create a multiplayer game in a distributed environment, however a more thorough investigation on how this solution affects the development of distributed user interfaces is still needed.

This thesis presents Web Utility Kit (WUT): a platform that helps to simplify the process of creating modern web applications. It addresses the need to simplify the web development process through the creation of a hosted service that provides access to a unified set of resources. The resources are made available through a variety of protocols and formats to help simplify their consumption. It also provides a uniform model across all of its resources making multi-resource development an easier and more familiar task. WUT saves the time and cost associated with deployment, maintenance, and hosting of the hardware and software in which resources depend. It has a relatively low overhead averaging 123 ms per request and has been shown capable of linear scaling with each application server capable of handling 120+ requests per minute. This important property of being able to seamlessly scale to developer's needs helps to eliminate the expensive scaling process. Initial users of the platform have found it to be extremely easy to use and have paved the way for future developments.

This Master thesis focuses on responsive web design. The main objective is to provide comprehensive view of the website created in so-called responsive realization, and impart awareness to readers not only about idea of responsive web design itself, but also about other ways of creating mobile webs. Furthermore, thesis deals with constructing of overview and comparison of selected technologies and frameworks with support of creating responsive websites. Every group of technologies or procedures is discussed in single chapter, to let reader simple and clearly return to particular concepts. After reading this thesis the reader should acquire not only detailed knowledge about responsive web design, but also suggestions and manuals for creating websites and for decisions in choosing the type of technology, which is possible to use to creating websites.

Background. Environmental sustainability and reducing energy consumption are important and relevant topics today. Energy consumption by data centres is constantly increasing. One factor that could be affecting this is what web frameworks are being used. Objectives. We wanted to investigate whether there is a difference in energy consumption depending on the selected web framework for an API web server. An improvement should not come with overhanging negative side effects. Therefore, energy usage was to be contrasted with response time. In addition, we wanted to see how the choice of response format affects these metrics. In the case of finding any considerable impact on energy usage, without compromising the response time, the goal was to communicate this in order to increase the awareness among software developers. Methods. A literature review was done in order to gather existing information on how to conduct an experiment measuring software energy consumption. We evaluated available tools for measuring consumed application energy. An experiment then compared four popular web frameworks in regard to both energy usage, and response time. Django, Express, Laravel, and Spring Boot were selected for the experiment. Metrics measured were energy usage and response time. The experiment was executed with three different amounts of concurrent requests vusers = {10, 100, 250}. Results. The literature study resulted in a selection of software tools for measuring software energy consumption to choose from. The tool perf was chosen for the experiment. In the experiment, the response format was shown to affect the response time, but not the energy consumption. Increasing the amount of concurrent users made for larger differences between frameworks, both regarding energy usage and response time. Express and Spring Boot show the best performance in both regards for all amounts of concurrent requests. Conclusions. Express and Spring Boot are the clear winners out of the four compared frameworks. Both in terms of energy usage and response time, they had the best results. Django is not a web framework to recommend if response time is of importance.

Ces dernières années, la biologie a subi une profonde mutation, impulsée notamment par les technologies à haut débit et la montée de la génomique personnalisée. L’augmentation massive et constante de l’information biologique qui en résulte offre de nouvelles opportunités pour comprendre la fonction et l’évolution des gènes et génomes à différentes échelles et leurs rôles dans les maladies humaines. Ma thèse s’est articulée autour de la relation entre chercheurs et information biologique, et j’ai contribué à (OrthoInspector) ou créé (Parsec, MyGeneFriends) des systèmes permettant aux chercheurs d’accéder, analyser, visualiser, filtrer et annoter en temps réel l’énorme quantité de données disponibles à l’ère post génomique. MyGeneFriends est un premier pas dans une direction passionnante, faire en sorte que ce ne soient plus les chercheurs qui aillent vers l’information, mais que l’information pertinente aille vers les chercheurs sous une forme adaptée, permettant l’accès personnalisé et efficace aux grandes quantités d’informations, la visualisation deces informations et leur interconnexion en réseaux. / In recent years, biology has undergone a profound evolution, mainly due to high through put technologies and the rise of personal genomics. The resulting constant and massive increase of biological data offers unprecedented opportunities to decipher the function and evolution of genes and genomes at different scales and their roles in human diseases. My thesis addressed the relationship between researchers and biological information, and I contributed to (OrthoInspector) or created (Parsec, MyGeneFriends) systems allowing researchers to access, analyze, visualize, filter and annotate in real time the enormous quantity of data available in the post genomic era. MyGeneFriends is a first step in an exciting new direction: where researchers no longer search forinformation, but instead pertinent information is brought to researchers in a suitable form, allowing personalized and efficient access to large amounts of information, visualization of this information,and their integration in networks.
