One common use of AMI is in the [[active object]] design pattern. Alternatives are synchronous method invocation and [[futures and promises|future objects]].<ref name="active object">{{cite journal | last=Lavender | first=R. Greg |author2=[[Douglas C.

An example for an application that may make use of AMI is a web browser that needs to display a web page even before all images are loaded.
Since [[method (computer science)|method]] is a special case of [[Procedure_(computer_science)|procedure]], '''asynchronous method invocation''' is a special case of [[Asynchronous_procedure_call|asynchronous procedure call]].
