The conventional Web model is a synchronous model, in which the user

iteratively requests information,

which Web servers supply. This model requires users to actively search for

information that is important to

them. Another Internet interaction model, the asynchronous model (also

called the "push" model), has

become increasingly popular. Servers that use the asynchronous model do not

wait until a user requests

information. Instead, they use a profile to determine which information is

important to the user and

asynchronously send the information to the user as soon as it becomes

available.


The UP.Link platform fully supports this model of Internet interaction,

allowing WML services to send

information to UP.Link subscribers asynchronously. The asynchronous

messages that WML services send

to UP.Link subscribers are called notifications. You can use notifications

for tasks such as the following
