Abstract

Generally described, the present invention is directed to a network operating system that provides more effective ways of leveraging the connectivity of computer networks. In one embodiment, an XML virtual machine is implemented that accepts high-level application code written in an XML programming language as input. Functionality is provided to interpret or translate the application code written in an XML programming language into code that is suitable for execution across computer platforms. Moreover, the XML virtual machine supports the Model View Controller (MVC) design paradigm that facilitates true data abstraction from applications to a common data model. Multi-instance applications, with each instance potentially supporting multiple views, may be created and executed.

Claims

1. A computer-readable medium having computer executable components for synchronizing data across a data network, comprising:

a server-side component that includes a transaction coordinator for facilitating concurrent use of a file by multiple client computers and a message server for pushing a file update to a listening client; and

a client-side component that includes a data update event bus for automatically propagating a data update from an application to a shared data model and a transaction manager for creating and causing a fragment describing the data update to be transmitted over the network to the server-side component
