Scalability in computer science is a large topic and is commonly divided
into sub-fields, two of which are structural scalability and load scalability.
These two issues are addressed in this thesis.
Structural scalability means expanding an architecture, e.g.

Load scalability means using the available resources in a way which allows
handling increasing load, e.g more users, gracefully.
