Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a method for negotiation of compatible functionality between applications using network communications. The present invention provides a process which automatically negotiates between applications operating in a Picture Archival and Control System (PACS) so that each application sends and receives data and messages in accordance with each application's stated functional conformance claim. The functional attributes of each application are declared in a conformance claim. The conformance claim of each task is represented by an Unique Identifier (UID) which uniquely identifies the task within the network and also specifies the attributes of the task.
