However, the reader should have a basic understanding of I BM data processing. VM/370 (Virtual Machine Facility/370) is a system control program (SCP) that tailors the resources and capabilities of a single System/370 computer to provide concurrent users their one unique (virtual) machine. VM/370 consists of a Control Program (CP), which manages the real computer, a Conversational Monitor System (CMS), which is a general-purpose conversational time-sharing system that executes in a virtual machine, a Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem (RSCS), which spools files to and from geographically remote locations, and a Interactive Problem Control System (I PCS), which provides problem analysis and management faci I ities. The first section of the publication is an introduction; it describes what VM/370 can do. The second, third, fourth, and fifth sections describe the Control Program, Conversational Monitor System, Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem, and Interactive Problem Control System respectively. The appendixes include information about VM/370 publication-to-audience relationship and VM/370-related publications for CMS users. , This publication is a prerequisite for the VM/370 system library. --...- --- ---.-- ------- ------ --..- --------- -~-y- Page of GC20-1800-9 As Updated Aug 1, 1979 by TNL GN25-0U89 ~b Edition (Karch 1919) This edition (GC20-1800-~ together with Technical Newsletter GN25-0489. dated August 1, 1919, applies to Release 6 PLC 4 (Program Level Change) of IBM Virtual Machine Facility/310 and to all subsequent releases until otherwise indicated in new editions or Technical Newsletters.

The Principles of Open Standards by Ken Krechmer Communications Standards Review 757 Greer Road Palo Alto, CA USA 94303-3024 +1 650 856-8836 http://www.csrstds.com [email protected] "Who ever knew Truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter?" 1 The values underlying Open Standards are impressive. In the USA the Open Standards concept has been applied to technical standards 2 since 1918 by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 3 as the administrator and coordinator of the United States private sector voluntary standardization system. A major goal of ANSI is to ensure that its guiding principles of openness, consensus and due process - the cornerstones of Open Standards - are followed. The personal computer revolution and the following Internet explosion have resulted in a large influx of new technical standards stakeholders.4 These new stakeholders are making new demands on the Open Standards processes. Today, considering the rapid changes in technology and the expanding importance of technical standards, ANSI and its Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) need to reexamine what constitutes the "free and open encounter" that Open Standards strive to achieve.

Inst. for Communication Research. SPONS AGENCY National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C. Office of Science Information Services. PUB DATE Dec 71 NOTE 154p.;(23 References) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Computer Programs; *Information Retrieval; *Information Storage; *Information Systems; *On Line Systems IDENTIFIERS Computer Software; SPIRES; *Stanford Public Information Retrieval System ABSTRACT SPIRES (Stanford Public Information REtrieval System) is a computer information storage and retrieval system being developed at Stanford University with funding from the National Science Foundation. SPIRES has two major goals: to provide a user-oriented, interactive, on-line retrieval syste for a variety of researchers at Stanford; and to support the automation efforts of the university libraries by developing and implementing common software. SPIRES I, a prototype system, was implemented at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in 1969, from a design based on a 1967 information study involving physicists at SLAC. Its primary data base is a high-energy-physics preprints file. Evaluation of SPIRES I resulted in the definition of a production information storage and retrieval system, SPIRES II. This system will be available -daily, beginning in mid-1972, to faculty, staff, and students of the University.- It is characterized by flexibility, simplicity, and economy. _SPIRES II will operate on-line on an IBM 360/67 computer. This report summarizes the uses of the SPIRES I system over the past year and describes both the nature of SPIRES II and this system,s development over the past year.

  • Open Standards - Definitions and Background
    Open Standards - Definitions and Background Open Standards Standards (in the context of technology) are a set of definitions, rules, or specifications which allow interoperability. Standards can be open or closed. Open standards are distinguished from closed standards in that anyone is allowed to know and use an open standard while closed standards are kept secret and/or have significant encumbrances upon their use. Open standards are typically arrived at through negotiation and consensus within the com- munity affected. The Wikipedia article on open standards contains additional accurate information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open standards “Open standards are publicly available specifications for achieving a specific task. By allow- ing anyone to use the standard, they increase compatibility between various hardware and software components, since anyone with the technical know-how and the necessary equipment to implement solutions can build something that works together with those of other vendors.” Occassions when a choice between open/closed standard occurs You wish to distribute a document to a large group of collegues. You select the format for this file. If you select an open standard (eg ascii/txt, rtf, pdf, odf), it is likely that all users will have an appropriate viewing application. If you choose a closed standard (eg MS doc), it is likely that a fraction of your collegues will not be able to view your file. In particular, Microsoft does not have a version of Word for Linux and has gone back and forth on whether it will provide a version for Macs (the current plan is to support macs).
