Application of XML technology to Railway Acknowledgement Transmission System

In order to improve the promptness and the scalability of the acknowledgement system, as well as its interoperabilitywith the other subsystems in TMIS, Acknowledgement System 2.0 adopted XML as the transmission format. Based on theopen source expat XML lib, the system achieved the parser method, having a reasonable architecture and pretty goofscalability. Large amount of practical applications suggested that the application of XML module could greatly reduce thecomplexity, modularize large system and improve its reability. Consequently, it has a good social and economic benefit.
