Salutation Technologies



The Salutation Consortium's technologies, which are available royalty free, are intended to provide devices, applications and services, which meet in a communication setting, the ability to find out about each other -- an electronic salutation. Once these entities have exchanged information about their capabilities using the Salutation Consortium technologies, they may tailor their interactions accordingly. The Salutation Specification describes an API, a Protocol and optional data pipes and job control to assist in discovery and use of devices, applications and services that may encounter each other in a communication setting. The architecture is based on a model called the Salutation Manager.
