Abstract

SE-OSI is a prototype of a support environment (SE) for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI). Written in the C++ programming language, it demonstrates object-oriented application programming interfaces (APIs) for OSI as well as Open Distributed Processing (ODP) and investigates transparent transition to OSI and ODP through use of common APIs. Preliminary benchmarks suggest that the SE-OSI approach is suitable for real-time applications. This approach is contrasted with communications APIs currently being developed in standards bodies and consortiums, with recommendations made as to future directions for standardization of APIs and supporting environments.
