A mashup application is created from the combination of information retrieved from different servers, //e.g.// Housing Maps. Programmers have to overcome the issue of creating an incorrect Web page due to an arbitrary (and unexpected) order of server responses. For instance, consider a Web page that is created with two Ajax requests. If the second server response is processed before the first server response, the Web page is created incorrectly. A **FIFO** strategy, which processes the server responses in the same order as the Ajax requests are sent, ensures that the Web page is always created correctly. | A mashup application is created from the combination of information retrieved from different servers, //e.g.// Housing Maps.
