Application Service Element

networking (ASE) Software in the presentation layer of the

OSI seven layer model which provides an abstracted interface

layer to service application protocol data units (APDU).

Because applications and networks vary, ASEs are split

into common services and specific services.

Examples of services provided by the common applicationservice element (CASE) include remote operations (ROSE) and

database concurrency control and recovery (CCR).

The specific application service element (SASE) provides

more specialised services such as file transfer, database

access, and order entry.
