service

Definition

capability of a layer, and the layers beneath it (a service-provider), that is provided to service-users at the boundary between the service-provider and the service-users

Notes

  • NOTE The service defines the external behaviour of the service-provider, independent of the mechanisms used to provide that behaviour. Layers, layer entities, and application-service-elements are examples of components of a service-provider.
