of regular \gls{iTasks}-\glspl{SDS}. However, the same freedom that an
\gls{SDS} has in the \gls{iTasks}-system is not given for \glspl{SDS} that
reside on the client. Not all types are suitable to be located on a client,
-simply because it needs to be representable on clients. Moreover, \glspl{SDS}
-behave a little different in an \gls{mTask} device compared to in the
-\gls{iTasks} system. In an \gls{iTasks} system, when the \gls{SDS} is updated,
-a broadcast to all watching \glspl{Task} in the system is made to notify them
-of the update. \glspl{SDS} can update often and the update might not be the
-final value it will get. Implementing the same functionality on the \gls{mTask}
-client would result in a lot of expensive unneeded bandwidth usage. Therefore
-a device must publish the \gls{SDS} explicitly to save bandwidth. Note that
-this means that the \gls{SDS} value on the device can be different compared to
-the value of the same \gls{SDS} on the server.

To add this functionality, the \CI{sds} class could be extended. However, this
would result in having to update all existing views that use the \CI{sds}
Moreover, \glspl{SDS} in the \gls{mTask}-\gls{EDSL} are always anonymous. There
is no way of labeling it since it is not a real entity, it is just a function.
-When a \gls{SDS} is sent to the device it must be retrievable and identifiable.
-It is not always clear which instantiated \gls{SDS} is which. Therefore, an
-added class named \CI{namedsds} is added that provides the exact same
-functionality as the \gls{SDS} class but adds a \CI{String} parameter that can
-later be used to identify a \gls{SDS}. The types for this class are as follows:
