This Recommendation identifies the Architecture that supports TASC (Telecommunication Applications for Switches and Computers) and is one in the Q.1300-Series Recommendations on TASC. The main purpose of TASC is to allow applications running within the network user’s environment to integrate telecommunication services with computing facilities. This would typically allow business applications to use TASC to integrate the computer workstation and telephone at the user’s desktop. This Recommendation does not define how the elements of the architecture are implemented. Part of the definition of the TASC architecture includes the TASC objects which are the basis for the TASC Functional Services.
