before being con'ed into going to POK to be in charge of loosely-coupled architecture, my wife did a stint in the JES group ... including working on spec. for JESUS (JES Unified System) ... taking all the features, that customers couldn't live w/o, from both JES (slightly earlier, she had been part of the catchers for ASP in the JES group). However, the polarization of the two sides prevented much progress being made.
in POK, she did "peer-coupled shared data" architecture ... which saw little uptake (except for IMS hotstandby) until sysplex (contributing to her not staying long in that position; that & periodic battles with SNA organization about demands that SNA be mandated for peer-coupled coordination communication). -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
