 The OX messages are classifed into three types:  The OX messages are classified into three types:
 DATA, COMMAND, and others.  DATA, COMMAND, and SPECIAL.
 We have the following main tags for the OX messages.  We have currently the following general tags for the OX messages.
 \begin{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}
 #define OX_COMMAND               513  // COMMAND  #define OX_COMMAND               513  // COMMAND
 #define OX_DATA                  514  // DATA  #define OX_DATA                  514  // DATA

 New OX tags may be added.  A new OX tag may be added.
 The new tag should be classified into DATA or COMMAND.  The new tag should be classified into DATA or COMMAND.
 For example, \verb+ OX_DATA_ASIR_LOCAL_BINARY +  was added a few month ago  For example, \verb+ OX_DATA_ASIR_LOCAL_BINARY +  was added recently
 to send internal serialized objects of asir via the OpenXM protocol.  to send internal serialized objects of Asir via the OpenXM protocol.
 This is a tag classifed to DATA.  This is a tag classified to DATA.
 See the home page of OpenXM to add a new tag.  See the web page of OpenXM to add a new tag \cite{openxm-web}.
   
 In OpenXM, a distributed computation is done as follows:  %An OpenXM client admit that its own command sends some OX messages
 \begin{enumerate}  %sequentially at once.
 \item A client requests something to a server.  %
 \item The server does some work according to the request.  %For example, the asir command
 \item The client requests to send data to the server.  %{\tt ox\_execute\_string(P, "Print[x+y]")} sends an OX data message
 \item The server sends the data to the client and the client gets the data.  %{\tt (OX\_DATA, (CMO\_STRING, "Print[x+y]"))} and an OX command message
 \end{enumerate}  %{\tt (OX\_COMMAND, (SM\_executeStringByLocalParser))} to an OpenXM
 The server is a stackmachine.  %server.
 That is {\it OX data} message sent by the client  
 are pushed to the stack of the server.  
 If the server gets an {\it OX command} message, then the data are  
 popped form the stack and they are used as arguments of a function call.  
 For example, the asir command  
 \verb+ ox_push_cmo(P,1) + (push integer $1$ to the server P)  
 sends an OX data message  
 (OX\_DATA,(CMO\_ZZ,1)) to the server $P$.  
 Here,  
 OX\_DATA stands for OX\_DATA header and  
 (CMO\_ZZ,1) is a body standing for $1$ expressed  
 in the CMO data encoding format.
