1. What are the contributions in "A document based framework for smart object systems" ?
The authors present an architectural framework that provides the foundation for building smart object systems and uses a document centric approach utilizing a profile based artefact framework and a task based application framework.. A runtime component provides the foundation for mapping these tasks to the corresponding service provider smart objects.. Primary advantages of their approach are twofoldfirstly, it allows developers to write applications in a generic way regardless of the constraints of the target environment.. The authors describe an implemented prototype of FedNet, and show examples of its use in a real life scenario to illustrate its feasibility.

2. What is the main idea of the middleware?
The runtime infrastructure provides the pairwise mapping using structural typing thus externalizing smart object management and addressing heterogeneity issues away from the applications allowing developers to focus on the application functionalities only.

3. What is the widely used protocol for internet?
The most widely used protocol for internet, i.e., HTTP is basically acts as the en-velope for this documents and provides the negotiation semantics to both the sender and recipient (i.e., servers and client browsers and vice versa) through it headers for a flawless communication.
