  • Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe
    Weblint: Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe Abstract Weblint is a utility for checking the syntax and style of HTML pages. It was inspired by lint [15], which performs a similar function for C and C++ programmers. Weblint does not aspire to be a strict SGML validator, but to provide helpful comments for humans. The importance of quality assurance for web sites is introduced, and one particular area, validation of HTML, is described in more detail. The bulk of the paper is devoted to weblint: what it is, how it is used, and the design and implementation of the current development version. 1. Introduction The conclusion opens with a summary of the information and opinions given in this paper. A Web sites are becoming an increasingly critical part of selection of the lessons learned over the last four years how many companies do business. For many companies is given, followed by plans for the future, and related web sites are their business. It is therefore critical that ideas. owners of web sites perform regular testing and analysis, to ensure quality of service. 2. Web Site Quality Assurance There are many different checks and analyses which The following are some of the questions you should be you can run on a site. For example, how usable is your asking yourself if you have a web presence. I have site when accessed via a modem? An incomplete list of limited the list to those points which are relevant to similar analyses are given at the start of Section 2.

Among the various scientific aspects involved in the home monitoring field, we are interested in the study and the proposal of a solution allowing distributed sensor nodes to communicate with each other in an optimal way adapted to the specific applica- tion constraints. More precisely, we want to build a wireless network that consists of several short range sensor nodes exchanging data between them according to a communication protocol at MAC (Medium Access Control) level. This protocol must be able to optimize energy consumption, trans- mission time and loss of information. To achieve this objective, we have analyzed the advan- tages and the limitations of WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) technologies and communication protocols currently used in relation to the requirements of our application.

Abstract This specification defines the Mathematical Markup Language, or MathML. MathML is an XML application for de- scribing mathematical notation and capturing both its structure and content. The goal of MathML is to enable mathe- matics to be served, received, and processed on the World Wide Web, just as HTML has enabled this functionality for text. This specification of the markup language MathML is intended primarily for a readership consisting of those who will be developing or implementing renderers or editors using it, or software that will communicate using MathML as a protocol for input or output. It is not a User’s Guide but rather a reference document. This document begins with background information on mathematical notation, the problems it poses, and the philos- ophy underlying the solutions MathML proposes.
