   * ** The life cycle semantics**. This semantics defines the evolution of matching of a sequence passes until it matches.
-  * ** The spawning semantics**. This semantics defines when a sequence spawns another sequence using the same specification (e.g. advice) and sharing the history of what the sequence has matched until that moment. For example, tracematches spawn a new sequence if it only contains different bindings.

For example, tracematches spawn a new sequence if it only contains different bindings with respect to other sequences.
   * ** The advice protocol semantics**.  This semantics defines how advices are applied when spawned sequences and their spawners match. The customization of this semantics is inspired by the [[http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1408689|Dynamic AspectJ]] proposal.

 **Sequences**. In addition, sequences are first-class values and are specified using plain JavaScript functions, bringing the full benefits of the base language, in particular, the combination of higher-order functions and objects. To the best of our knowledge, there is no proposal that allows developers to define sequences expressively and to customize crucial semantics of a TM.
-**Causality**. Although OTM is an open implementation of existing TMs, OTM can be used to address distributed system issues that are present in Web applications that use [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)|Ajax technologies]] to send messages between the client(s) and servers. We have addressed two issues: [[otm/ordering of messages]] and [[otm/the matching of causal sequences]].
