ABSTRACT
Client/server and netcentric applications run in an extremely complex environment. System Services are services that applications can use to perform system-level functions. These services include System Security Services, Profile Management Services, Task and Memory Management Services, and Environment Verification Services. In the netcentric environment, application security becomes a more critical component primarily because there are more types of users and additional types of transactions. Active Help Services enable an application to provide assistance to a user for a specific task or set of tasks. Component Framework Services provide an infrastructure for building components so that they can communicate within an application and across applications, on the same machine or on multiple machines across a network, to work together. Open Network Environment is an object-oriented software framework from Netscape Communications for use with Internet clients and servers. Codes Table Services enable applications to utilize externally stored parameters and validation rules.
