   3 Chapter~\ref{chp:introduction} contains the problem statement, motivation,
   4 related work and the structure of the document. Chapter~\ref{chp:top}
   5 introduces the reader to the basics of \gls{TOP} and \gls{iTasks}.
   6 Chapter~\ref{chp:dsl} discusses the pros and cons of different embedding
   7 methods to create \gls{EDSL}. Chapter~\ref{chp:mtask} shows the existing
   8 \gls{mTask}-\gls{EDSL} which is extended upon in this dissertation.
   9 Chapter~\ref{chp:system} gives an overview of the proposed system in the
  10 broadest sense.
  11 Chapter~\ref{chp:mtaskcont} describes the added view and functionality for the
  12 \gls{mTask}-\gls{EDSL} that were added and used in the system.
  13 Chapter~\ref{chp:arch} shows the implementation and considerations for entire
  14 system. It covers the client software running on the device and the server
  15 written in \gls{iTasks}.
  16 Chapter~\ref{chp:conclusion} concludes by answering the research questions and
  17 discusses future research.
  18 Appendix~\ref{app:communication-protocol} shows the concrete protocol used for
  19 communicating between the server and client.
  20 Appendix~\ref{app:device-interface} shows the concrete interface for the
  21 devices.

  23 Some conventions have been kept throughout the document.
  24 Text written using the \CI{Teletype} font indicates code and is often
  25 referring to section of a listing. \emph{Emphasized} text is used for proper
  26 nouns and words that have an unexpected meaning. \textsc{Small caps} is
  27 used for branded acronyms. When the word Tasks is emphasized and capitalized,
  28 it refers to the task-entities from either the \gls{mTask} or the \gls{iTasks}
  29 system.
