scope:

The present document is part 14 of the Stage 3 specification for an Application Programming Interface (API) for Open Service Access (OSA).

The OSA specifications defie an architecture that enables application developers to make use of network functionality through an open standardised interface, i.e. the OSA APIS.

The present document specifies the Presence and Availability Management Service Capability Feature (SCF) aspects of the interface. All aspects of the Presence and Availability Management SCF are defined here, these being:

• Sequence Diagrams
• Class Diagrams
• Interface specification plus detailed method descriptions
• State Transition diagrams
• Data Definitions
• IDL Description of the interfaces

The process by which this task is accomplished is through the use of object modelling techniques described by the Unified Modelling Language (UML).
