Understanding remote AEs
Remote AEs demonstrate advanced functionality. This section briefly introduces some of the concepts of remote AEs.
The life cycle of a remote AE can be user-controlled. Conversely, the life cycle of a local AE is
controlled directly by the NPS. A remote AE involves the explicit use of concurrency mechanisms such
as threading and forking. This section discusses remote AEs and local AEs and describes:
- the remote AE communication addressing scheme
- how remote AEs can be launched
- how a running remote AE can be controlled
- how a single AE can be written to be either local or remote, based on usage and purpose
