Automation framework is nothing but a set of rules defined 
for developing and organising the test scripts or it is a 
process to develop the automation scripts and reduce 
maintenance. This framework is completely depends on the 
application, types of testing and tools that are using. Its 
hard to provide generalised framework for all applications.

A test automation framework is a set of assumptions, 
concepts, and practices that provide support for automated 
software testing.

Framework is Nothing but..the rules tht one should folow to

Automation framework is nothing but a plan for automation
testing of an application, like what should be automated,
how it can be automated,what are the scenarios that can be
automated,what are the test cases that can be automated,
including creation of compile modules....so before starting
automation testing of any application we prepare automation
frame work and depending on that we write test scripts and
perform automation.

An Automation Framework deals with importance of Automating 
Scenarios and Test Cases in Project According to Test Plan. 
Frameworks will be different from organisation to 
organisation and to project to project. Sometimes 
Frameworks will have specific names. Altogether Framework 
is the method or type followed by an Automation Team to 
Automate an Application

Framework is the set of principle to be defined before 
start of automation..depending on various factors like the 
application functionality..type of test data to pass,tools  
and resourcs involved... it is dependent on several 
factors..one can't blindly define framework..they are no 
certain defined framework!!! we have to do lot of 
customization in order to fit to our requirements & name as 
u wish :)
