| A Web application can send several Ajax requests to different servers. However, the application can retrieve and process the server responses in an arbitrary order; meaning that this application may behave nondeterministically due to the lack of control of the causality between Ajax requests and server responses. For example, the figure shows that if a WebApp sends | A Web application can send several Ajax requests to different servers.
