The Application Services Library (ASL) is a public domain framework of best practices used to standardize processes within Application Management, the discipline of producing and maintaining information systems and applications. The term "library" is used because ASL is presented as a set of books describing best practices from the IT industry. It is described in several books and articles (many of them only available in Dutch) and on the (official website ) of the ASL BiSL Foundation. ASL is closely related to the frameworks ITIL (for IT Service Management) and BiSL (for Information Management and Functional Management) and to the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). The ASL framework was developed because ITIL, embraced by IT infrastructure departments, proved inadequate for Application Management: at that time, ITIL lacked specific guidance for application design, development, maintenance and support. Newer ITIL versions, particularly V3, have increasingly addressed the Application Development and Application Management domains; the ASL BiSL Foundation has published a (white paper comparing ITIL v3 and ASL ). ASL was developed in the late nineties in the Netherlands, originally as the proprietary R2C model, which evolved into ASL in 2000. In 2001 it was donated by the IT Service Provider PinkRoccade to the ASL Foundation, now the ASL BiSL Foundation. The version ASL2 was published in 2009. ==Purpose== The ASL2 is intended to support Application Management by providing tools. Two main categories of aids are defined: *Descriptions of the processes for Application Management. Plus the use of best-practises *Standard terminology, avoiding the pitfall of talking about different topics while using the same words. The goal of ASL is to assist in the professionalisation of Application Management. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Application Services Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
