- Sponsored by:
- The National Computer Systems Laboratory
- National Institute of Standards and Technology
- U.S. Department of Commerce
-
- This workshop is the fifth in a continuing semi-annual series on
- the NIST APPLICATIONS PORTABILITY PROFILE (APP). OPEN SYSTEMS
- ENVIRONMENT has been added to the title as that is the goal of
- the APP endeavors, and helps define the work going on within NIST
- in this area. The APP defines a common set of standards and is
- designed to address the broad functional areas of applications
- portability.
-
- These APP Users' Forums are designed to provide users and
- providers with the opportunity to get information about, and
- provide feedback on, NIST proposals regarding the adoption and
- evaluation of an integrated set of standards to support the APP
- and Open Systems.
-
- As currently defined the APP identifies seven functional areas:
-
- 1) operating system services;
- 2) program services;
- 3) data management services;
- 4) data interchange services;
- 5) user interface services;
- 6) graphics services; and
- 7) network services.
-
- This workshop will provide a status report on standards and
- activities in the APP, OSE, IEEE, and JTC1 (international
- activities) areas, and solicit users' opinions of what priorities
- should be applied to future work items. As usual, specific
- issues will be covered in more detail. When possible, experts
- from other organizations or users' groups may present their
- particular viewpoint on given issues.
-
- While the APP Users' Forums are intended primarily to address
- users' concerns, both users and vendors/integrators are
- encouraged to attend.
