Abstract :
During recent years we have seen several large-scale crises. The 9/11 terror attacks, tsunamis, storms, floods and bombings have all caused a great deal of damage. A common factor in these crises has been the need for information and one important source of information is usually Web sites. In this work we investigate and design an overload control system for Web sites that are vital in crises. The overload control system uses content adaption to dynamically control Web site performance
