Interoperability has been a requirement in NATO ever since the Alliance came into being - an obvious requirement when 16 independent Nations agree to allocate national resources for the achievement of a common goal: to maintain peace. With the appearance of data processing in the command and control pro cess of the armed forces, the requirement for interoperability expanded into the data processing field. Although problems of procedural and operational interoperability had been constantly resolved to some extent as they arose over the years, the introduction of data proces sing increased the problems of technical interoperability. The increase was partially due to the natural desire of nations to support their own national industries. But it was definetely also due to the lack of time and resources needed to solve the problems. During the mid- and late -1970s the International Standards Organisa tion (ISO) decided to develop a concept ("model") which would allow "systems" to intercommunicate. The famous ISO 7-layer model for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) was born. The OSI model was adopted by NATO in 1983 as thi basis for standardization of data communications in NATO. The very successful (first) Symposium on Interoperability of ADP Sys tems, held in November 1982 at the SHAPE Technical Centre (STC), gave an exten~ive overview of the work carried out on the lower layers of the model and revealed some intriguing ideas about the upper layers. The first Symposium accurately reflected the state-of-the-art at that point in time.

This book gives a comprehensive coverage of OSI architecture and the basic principles used in defining OSI services and protocols of each of its seven layers. Emphasized are the fundamental aspects, the motivation behind incorporating a certain functionality in a layer, the use to which it can be put by a higher layer entity, and in many instances, the rationale behind choosing its particular realization and adopting it as part of the protocol standards. In view of the fact that OSI standards run into several thousand pages, the discussion is limited to the significant issues. Optional facilities and protocols that are widely understood are covered only briefly. Intended for professionals in the area of computer networks who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of OSI architecture, services and protocols, the book is also suitable for a course on Computer Networks where the emphasis is on layered architectures and network protocols.
