Push API and Input Method Editor API Drafts Published

   The Web Applications Working Group has published two Working
   Drafts:

   http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/
     * Push API. This specification defines a “Push API” that
       provides webapps with scripted access to server-sent
       notifications, for simplicity referred to here as push
       notifications, as delivered by push services. Push services
       are a way for application servers to send messages to
       webapps, whether or not the webapp is active in a browser
       window.
     * Input Method Editor API. This specification defines an “IME
       API” that provides Web applications with scripted access to
       an IME (input-method editor) associated with a hosting user
       agent.

W3C Workshop Report: Smart Homes, Cars, Devices and the Web - Rich
Multimodal Apps

   14 August 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9914

   W3C published today a summary of the Workshop on Rich
   Multimodal Application Development, hosted by Openstream on
   22-23 July in the New York Metropolitan Area.

   http://www.w3.org/2013/07/mmi/summary
   http://www.w3.org/2013/07/mmi/

   One of the Workshop aims was to accentuate the merits of
   "HTML5" and the "W3C Multimodal Architecture" to help create
   the appropriate level of awareness of the maturity of the MMI
   Architecture and its suitability for developing innovative and
   compelling user-experiences across applications/devices.

   http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/
   http://www.w3.org/TR/mmi-arch/

   Workshop participants prioritized work on use cases and
   requirements for rich multimodal applications, including
   service/device discovery, HTML5 integration, extending "EMMA"
   for output, specific industry snapshot, streaming, timing
   handling and related standards.

   As discussed during the workshop, the W3C Multimodal
   Interaction Working Group will hold Webinars like the one held
   in January to discuss the issues identified during the workshop
   with all the stakeholders. Learn more about the Multimodal
   Interaction Activity.
