Abstract :
Searching for examples to encourage and motivate students in a subject is not a trivial task. Future Computer Science and Telecommunications Engineers tend to look at Automatic Control reluctantly. They do not relate their working life to it. But, if we blend examples from two areas: telecommunications and control, maybe we can change their minds. These engineers work with web servers: systems that deal with a lot of requests and must give fast and reliable service to users. CPU and memory usage could improve their performance if automatic control techniques are applied. Apache is one of the most well known web servers and it is at this point where Apache can help us.
