Abstract

This report provides a description of application protocols, a summary of AP development issues (supplemented by discussions and case studies in the appendicies), a listing of the relevant documentation and issues papers, and recommendations for resolving the identified issues. This includes recommendations on functional requirements for an AP framework, elements of AP structure, coordination of AP development, and AP classification, plus others. This report provides a baseline study for subsequent work on an AP Framework by members of the STEP community.
