A Client-orientated Dynamic Web Server

The cost of computer systems has decreased continuously in recent years, leading to an exponential growth in the number of computer users. In such an environment, more and more Web servers have been created offering many types of information. As a result Internet traffic has grown significantly, affecting the quality of the services offered by the Web servers. We propose a new approach for designing Web servers, which takes into account client requirements and constraints, and whose implementation is based on Java servlet and applet technology. This client-orientated Web server classifies each client into one of a number of pre-defined categories. The Web page generated for a client then depends on the client's current category. A Web page generated in this way may differ from one generated for another client in its content, number of images, graphic design and structure.
