Digimax Multimedia's collaborative decentralized services (CDS) is a development framework that is both a consumer and a provider of data or functions, integrated with a dynamically configurable logic or processing layer. CDS enables entity-to-entity computing, a concept that Digimax believes will emerge and enable the next generation of Internet-based business technology.

istribution and decentralizationwith XML as their foundationare at the core of Digimax Multimedia's collaborative decentralized services (CDS) technology. CDS is a development framework that is both a consumer and a provider of data or functions, integrated with a dynamically configurable logic or processing layer.
CDS can consume XML data from any source through various transports, including HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, or an instant messaging format. The XML consumed can contain presentation templates, raw data, connection profiles/preferences, and security information, as well as application logic. CDS then sorts through this data, using its XSL-like tag schema to describe where to get the information, what to do when it has all the data, and what to do with the result when it is done processing. CDS documents act as scripts that describe the logic of the application (see Figure 1).
