lots of system-r related posts
i had done a lot with os-360 as an undergraduate .... and then visited pok quite a bit during the days of building original prototype of vs2 ... i.e. adding virtual memory to a mvt platform.
I've noted in the past that a lot of SNA was continuation of major motivation behind FS
some specific quotes with respect to FS (which also includes a stray system-r reference):
Dear all: We are researchers from Shih Hsin University and we are currently launching the 2006 New Energy and Environmental...
i.e. countermeasure to clone control units. as undergraduate i was involved in building a telecommunication control unit ... which got written up as origins of clone control unit
my wife did somewhat antagonize the SNA group when she co-authored awp39 ... peer-to-peer networking ... as opposed to sna which primarily involved (centralized) controlling (large numbers of) terminals (or terminal emulation devices, settop boxes, atm cash machines, etc).
my wife also had here problems with the SNA group when she took the job in POK in charge of loosely-coupled architecture and developed peer-to-peer shared data architecture
Barcodes encode numeric or textual information in a printable, machine-readable form. The use of barcodes can significantly reduce cost of warehouse management and inventory. Two main forms of barcodes exist today: Linear or...
SNA group then was behind "SAA" which had a large component in trying to contain emerging client-server and maintain the PC terminal emulation paradigm. Unfortunately in the heyday of SAA we had come up with 3-tier architecture and out presenting it to customer executives (for which we took a bit of heat)
the foundation for 3-tier architecture and whole middleware architecture stuff, my wife had originally layed out when she co-authored a response to a large federal RFP for large, secure, reliable, enterprise networking and distributed infrastructure.
as an aside, was able to use some amount of the system-r experience later when doing ha-cmp product
and the distributed lock manager for cluster scale-up operation ... including parallel database operation ... a few recent posts mentioning distributed lock manager work: transactions
Do you want to get rid of size limitations and constant troubles with old disk and tape drives? Save space and reduce your electricity bill by using...
