The Next Evolution of Web Browser Execution Environment Performance
Web browsers have for long been wanting to host and execute feature-rich, compute-intensive, and complex applications or simply Compute-Intensive Applications (CIAs), within their Execution Environment (EE), with native desktop performance. There was Adobe Shockwave, Macromedia Flash, Java Applets, JavaScript Programming Language (JS) and recently WebAssembly Programming Language (WASM), but also short-lived relationships, such as Microsoft ActiveX, Silverlight and Apple Quicktime. One hindrance to web browsers hosting and executing CIAs with native desktop performance is that currently there is no web browser technology with the software architecture and design that can support them. This paper aims to review the evolution of the Web as an application platform since the rise of WASM, over the last decade or so, within the context of application performance relative to that of native desktop application performance. As well as to propose where researchers should focus their efforts in order to advance the Web as an application platform that is capable of executing CIAs. In future work, we plan to extend our study to include theoretical contributions, such as providing insights into how to improve the performance of web applications based on various software architectures and designs for web browser EEs, methodological contributions, such as providing methods and approaches developed, adapted or enhanced which detail the software architecture and design for web browser EEs that have higher performance than currently available, and practical contributions that will lay the groundwork for a production-ready web browser EE based on the prototype web browser EE produced by our study.

期刊介绍:
Big Data is the leading peer-reviewed journal covering the challenges and opportunities in collecting, analyzing, and disseminating vast amounts of data. The Journal addresses questions surrounding this powerful and growing field of data science and facilitates the efforts of researchers, business managers, analysts, developers, data scientists, physicists, statisticians, infrastructure developers, academics, and policymakers to improve operations, profitability, and communications within their businesses and institutions.
Spanning a broad array of disciplines focusing on novel big data technologies, policies, and innovations, the Journal brings together the community to address current challenges and enforce effective efforts to organize, store, disseminate, protect, manipulate, and, most importantly, find the most effective strategies to make this incredible amount of information work to benefit society, industry, academia, and government.
Big Data coverage includes:
Big data industry standards,
New technologies being developed specifically for big data,
Data acquisition, cleaning, distribution, and best practices,
Data protection, privacy, and policy,
Business interests from research to product,
The changing role of business intelligence,
Visualization and design principles of big data infrastructures,
Physical interfaces and robotics,
Social networking advantages for Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Google, etc,
Opportunities around big data and how companies can harness it to their advantage.
