`requirements associated with the term application also shall
`be interpreted to include the actions of the user who is inter-
`acting with the system by entering shell command language
`statements from a terminal.

`(4) A software program consisting of one or more processes
`and supporting functions.

`(C) 1003.5-1999

`two applications for the purpose of communication of infor-
`mation and coordination of their joint operations.
`(C/PA) 1351-1994w
`(2) A cooperative relationship between two application-enti-
`ties, formed by their exchange of application-protocol-con-
`trol-information through their use of presentation services.
`(C/PA) 1238.1-1994w
`application engineering The process of constructing or refining
`application systems by reusing assets.
`(C/SE) 1517-1999
`application entity The aspects of an application process perti-
`nent to OSI.
`(C/PA) 1238.1-1994w
`application entity title In OSI, a title that unambiguously iden-
`tifies an application entity. An application entity title is com-
`posed of an application process title and an application entity
`qualifier.
`(C) 1003.5-1999
`application entity qualifier In OSI, a component of an appli-
`cation entity title that is unambiguous within the scope of the
`application process.
`(C) 1003.5-1999
`application environment The physical environment of a back-
`plane serial bus. This includes the bus itself, the modules, and
`the system that contains them. This environment may be a
`standardized host backplane (e.g., a Futurebus⫹ profile) that
`describes signal requirements, transceivers, mechanical ar-
`rangement of the modules, and temperature range over which
`operation is guaranteed.
`(C/MM) 1394-1995
`application environment profile (aep, AEP) (1) A document
`that describes functional requirements and points to existing
`standards, selecting and binding options within those stan-
`dards. An implementer who then designs a specific module
`and/or system should be reasonably assured that another de-
`signer’s (manufacturer’s or supplier’s) modules will properly
`function within the same system. This includes all aspects of
`definition: mechanical, electrical, protocol, environmental,
`
`and system considerations.
`(C/BA) 896.2-1991w, 896.3-1993w, 896.4-1993w,
`896.10-1997
`(2) A profile specifying a complete and coherent specification
`of the Open System Environment (OSE), in which the stan-
`dards, options, and parameters chosen are necessary to sup-
`port a class of applications.
`(C/PA) 14252-1996
`application generator A code generator that produces pro-
`grams to solve one or more problems in a particular appli-
`cation area; for example, a payroll generator.
`(C) 610.12-1990
`application identifier (AID) An identifier that defines the cat-
`egory of dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) ap-
`plications to which a specific application belongs.
`(SCC32) 1455-1999

`the communication resources of a network.

`application layer (1) (Layer 7) The layer of the OSI reference
`model (ISO 7498: 1984) that provides the means for simu-
`lation applications to access and use the network’s commu-
`nications resources.
`(DIS/C) 1278.1-1995, 1278.2-1995
`(2) The seventh and highest layer of the seven-layer OSI
`model providing the only interface between the user and the
`application program. Note: It hides from the user the physical
`distribution of processors, communications media, and data
`resources while maximizing the utility of those resources. See
`also: entity layer; logical link control sublayer; session layer;
`client layer; data link layer; presentation layer; physical layer;
`transport layer; sublayer; network layer; medium access con-
`trol sublayer.

`MTM-Bus interface logic. See also: module.
`(TT/C) 1149.5-1995
`application-oriented language A programming language with
`facilities or notations applicable primarily to a single appli-
`cation area; for example, a language for computer-assisted
`instruction or hardware design. See also: simulation lan-
`guage; specification language; authoring language.
`(C) 610.13-1993w, 610.12-1990
`application platform (1) A set of resources, including hardware
`and software, that support the services on which application
`software will run. The application platform provides services
`at its interfaces that, as much as possible, make the specific
`characteristics of the platform transparent to the application
`software.
`(C/PA) 14252-1996
`(2) A set of resources on which an application will run.
`(C/PA) 1003.13-1998
`application process title In OSI, a title that unambiguously
`identifies an application process. An application process title
`is a single name, which, for convenience, may be structured
`internally.

`application program (1) A computer program that is used for
`a specific application.
`(C) 610.5-1990w
`(2) A program executed with the processor in user mode.
`Note: Statements made in this document regarding applica-
`tion programs may be inapplicable to programs (for example,
`debuggers) that have access to privileged processor state (e.g.,
`as stored in a memory-image dump).
`(C/MM) 1754-1994
`application program interface (API) The interface between
`the application software and the application platform, across
`which all services are provided.
`(C/PA) 14252-1996

`that provides an OSI environment, using underlying services
`when appropriate.
`(C/PA) 1238.1-1994w

`needs of a user; for example, software for navigation, payroll,
`or process control. Contrast: support software; system soft-
`ware.
`(C) 610.12-1990

`of programs, data, and documentation.
