“ViewML is based on an open source project known as
Microwindows, which provides a small graphical windowing system for
embedded Linux and other platforms.”

“Century Software unveiled HostML and ViewML, a set of XML-based
host access and rendering technologies for embedded systems and
devices. HostML is an Application Server that performs capture and
translation of large and complex Unix and IBM application data to
the XML format. The data is then re-rendered, using ViewML, for
display on embedded systems and other devices in a manner
consistent with the target system’s capabilities. In addition to
supporting Linux based systems, HostML and ViewML also supports
transfer and rendering on target platforms running Windows CE,
Palm, Java, and ActiveX. Century Software claims it is the first
company to offer host application data re-rendering across so many
dissimilar hardware and software platforms using a common
interface.”

“”HostML and ViewML provide two key components for delivering
mission critical information to palmtop, handheld and embedded
systems,” said Greg Haerr, CEO of Century Software. “Using XML and
ViewML allows combining of data from a variety of sources for
display on network appliances. This opens up a whole new world of
possibilities for embedded and handheld systems.””
