Task Scheduler API Specification; TCP and UDP Socket API Working
Drafts Updated

   2 December 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4207

   The System Applications Working Group published two documents
   today:

   http://www.w3.org/2012/sysapps/
     * A Working Draft of Task Scheduler API Specification. This
       specification defines an API to schedule a task at a
       specified time. When the indicated time is reached, the
       application that scheduled the task will be notified via a
       functional event on a service worker. A task event will be
       delivered to a service worker, regardless of whether the
       application is active on user agent. Applications such as
       an alarm clock or an auto-updater may utilize this API to
       perform certain action at a specified time.
     * A Working Draft of TCP and UDP Socket API. This API
       provides interfaces to raw UDP sockets, TCP Client sockets
       and TCP Server sockets.
