ACSE/Presentation Functionality

The ACSE/Presentation and ROSE Interface (APRI) provides a

programmatic interface to the Association Control Service Element

(ACSE), Remote Operation Service Element (ROSE) and Presentation

layer protocols.

The ACSE/Presentation interface enables two or more application

processes on the same or different computers to:

• establish an association (connection) with another application process

• exchange (send and receive) information

• shutdown the association (connection)

Using ROSE with ACSE/Presentation provides the request/reply service

that is useful in building distributed applications. ROSE cannot be used

independently of the ACSE/Presentation interface.
