Abstract: In highly interactive dynamic web database systems, user satisfaction determines their success. In such systems, user requested web pages are dynamically created by executing a number of database queries or web transactions. In this paper, we model the interrelated transactions generating a web page as workflows and quantify the user satisfaction by associating dynamic web pages with soft-deadlines. Further, we model the importance of transactions in generating a page by associating different weights to transactions.

A presentation of what is the best way to teach the databases concepts throughout a CS department's curriculum.
