Loosely Coupling Web-Applications

Abstract:

When developers of two web-based environments wish to share activities, they need to negotiate the ways to do so. It may boil down to an a simple authorization, or URL exchange.
Generally, however, the exchange is more convoluted and measures have to be taken to guarantee the highest quality in the browsing experience. We address this problem in an attempt to generalize the action of following a hyperlink into a «browser delegation». Report on the experience gained in implementing the delegation between ActiveMath and Siette is provided.
