Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) is a computing model based on partitioning a web application into a client-side web application and a server-side web application that communicate through a web connection in such a way that a minimal amount of information is transferred and rich and dynamic display and interaction can be supported which can rival that of local applications.
Acronym is Ajax.
See the Wikipedia article on "Ajax".
