TLDR
XML is the lingua franca of the wireless Web and is already being used for a host of server-server communication applications, which make it possible for different data servers to easily exchange information.Abstract:
XML is the lingua franca of the wireless Web. Its strength is in its generality: XML can describe virtually any kind of structured data. Once described, the data can be presented in other formats. Moreover, XML is already being used for a host of server-server communication applications, which make it possible for different data servers to easily exchange information. The trend toward a common format for representing data will doubtlessly present new opportunities for both Web and wireless Web clients.read more

Distributed query evaluation on semistructured data
TL;DR: This article addresses the problem of efficient query evaluation on distributed, semistructured databases by giving algorithms that combine pattern matching and regular path expressions with data restructuring and subqueries, and discusses how these methods can be used to derive efficient view maintenance algorithms.

An open software architecture for virtual reality interaction
TL;DR: OpenTracker is a first attempt towards a "'write once, input anywhere"' approach to virtual reality application development and it is planned to make Open-Tracker available to the public under an open source software license.

XPath with Conditional Axis Relations
TL;DR: An XPath dialect \(\mathcal{X}\)CPath is defined which is expressively complete, has a linear time query evaluation algorithm and for which query equivalence given a DTD can be decided in exponential time.

Reflective Middleware Solutions for Context-Aware Applications
TL;DR: It is argued that middleware for wired distributed systems cannot be used in a mobile setting, as the principle of transparency that has driven their design runs counter to the new degrees of awareness imposed by mobility.

TAP: a Semantic Web platform
Ramanathan V. Guha,Rob McCool +1 more
TL;DR: This work addresses the problem of scalable and deployable query systems and presents a simple, but general query interface called GetData, and introduces the concept of Semantic Negotiation, a process by which two programs can bootstrap from small shared vocabularies to larger shared vocABularies.
