CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC-10164-15-96 (R2000)

The international community has decided to make this standard available only in the English language version. It has been adopted as a National Standard of Canada on this basis. This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 10164-15:1995. 1 Scope This Recommendation | International Standard defines the scheduling function. The scheduling function is a systems management function which may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized management environment to exchange information and commands for the purpose of systems management, as defined by CCITT Rec. X.700 | ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation | International Standard is positioned in the application layer of CCITT Rec. X.200 | ISO 7498 and is defined according to the model provided by ISO/IEc 9545. The role of systems management functions is described by CCITT Rec. X.701 | ISO/IEC 10040. This Recommendation | International Standard: - identifies a set of requirements satisfied by the function; - provides a model for scheduling; - specifies the management requirements of the function and how these are realized by specification of managed objects and their behaviour; - defines the conformance requirements to be met by implementations of this Recommendation | International Standard; - defines managed objects. This Recommendation | International Standard does not define: - the manner in which management is to be accomplished by the user of the scheduling function; - the nature of any implementation intended to provide the scheduling function; - the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the scheduling function; - the interactions which result by the simultaneous use of several management functions; - the occasions where the use of the scheduling function is appropriate; - the services necessary for the establishment, normal and abnormal release of a management association.
