W3C Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity

Dave Raggett (W3C/JustSystems)
09:00 Tuesday, 2007-05-15
Ubiquitous web Amphitheatre C
Chair: Dave Raggett (W3C/JustSystems)
Presentation: W3C Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity Presentation [PDF]

The mission of the W3C Ubiquitous Web Applications Working Group is to simplify the creation of distributed applications involving a wide diversity of devices from supercomputers to RFID tags through the application of Web technologies such as markup and event-driven scripts. This follows on from W3C’s Device Independence Working Group (DIWG) and includes a number of concrete short term work items together with the use of W3C workshops to set future directions. In summary, the Working Group will:

  • Complete and extend existing DIWG work items on DIAL, DISelect, DCI and CC/PP
  • Study and make proposals for advanced markup languages for declarative models of distributed Web applications, starting with a workshop in early 2007
  • Develop proposals for remote eventing, device coordination, and safe and secure access to device capabilities, including physical sensors and effectors
  • Study and make proposals for autonomous Web agents that act on behalf of, and are controlled by users, starting with a workshop in early 2008

He is currently driving W3C’s proposals for work on ubiquitous web applications which seeks to reduce the cost of building distributed applications of network appliances in the home, office and on the move, through web technologies such as markup and event-based scripting. He has been closely involved with the development of standards for HTML, HTTP, MathML, XForms, and VoiceXML. His previous position was as W3C Activity Lead for multimodal interaction. Dr. Raggett is also known for his work on open source software including HTML Tidy for cleaning up HTML and Slidy a web-based solution for slide presentations.
