Adaptive polling for responsive web applications

Abstract

The web environment has been developing remarkably, and much work has been done towards improving web based notification systems, where servers act smartly by notifying and feeding clients with subscribed data. In this paper we have reviewed some of the problems with current solutions to real-time updates of multi user web applications; we introduce a new concept “adaptive polling” based on one AJAX technique “Polling” to reduce the high volume of redundant server connections with reasonable latency, we demonstrated a prototype implementation of the new concept which is then evaluated against the existing one; the positive results clearly indicated more efficiency in terms of client-server bandwidth.
