- COMMAND LANGUAGE (Second Edition)
- By Alan Goldfine
- January 1988 PB 88169545 $15.95
- Order from NTIS
-
- This document introduces and provides examples of
- the Command Language of the Information Resource
- Dictionary System (IRDS). A dictionary maintained
- by the U.S. Air Force is defined in the IRDS and
- used as a continuing example throughout the
- document. The dictionary is populated, manipulated,
- and reported on using the precise syntax of the
- Command Language.

- By Alan Goldfine and Patricia Konig
- January 1988 PB 88163779 $21.95
- Order from NTIS
-
- This publication provides a technical overview of
- the computer software specifications for an
- Information Resource Dictionary System (IRDS). It
- summarizes the data architecture and the software
- functions and processes of the IRDS. This overview
- also provides background information on the
- development of the IRDS software specifications
- networks.

- USERS' GUIDE
- By Tim Boland
- August 1989 PB 90-111212 $23.00
- Order from NTIS
-
- This publication assists federal agencies in
- planning for the introduction of Government Open
- Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP)-compliant
- products into the workplace. For use by federal
- procurement specialists, technical specialists, and
- managers, the guide provides tutorial information on
- Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocols as wellas information on OSI registration, OSI procurement,
- GOSIP technical evaluation, and GOSIP transition
- strategies.

- PROTOCOLS OVER INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK
- (ISDN)
- by Carol A. Edgar August 1989 PB 89235576 $13.95
- Order from NTIS
-
- This report contains the results of a trial
- demonstration of OSI protocols over ISDN. NIST
- organized the trial to demonstrate the use of ISDN
- as a lower layer technology for OSI applications.
- The trial was a necessary first step for including
- ISDN as a lower layer technology in the Government
- Open Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP) Version
- 2.
- NISTIR 89-4140WORKING IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENTS FOR OPEN SYSTEM
- INTERCONNECTION PROTOCOLS
- Tim Boland, Editor
- September 1989 PB 89235931 $36.95
- Order from NTIS
-
- This publication records working implementation
- specification agreements of OSI protocols among the
- organizations participating in the NIST Workshop for
- Implementors for OSI Plenary Assembly held June 16,
- 1989. This work may be the basis of future stable
- agreements; the current version of the stable
- agreements is contained in NIST Special Publication
- 500-162.

- 500-165SOFTWARE VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION: ITS ROLE IN
- COMPUTER ASSURANCE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH
- SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGEMENT STANDARDS
- By Dolores R. Wallace and Roger U. Fujii
- September 1989 SN 003-003-02959-9 $2.25
- Order from GPO
-
- This publication describes how software verification
- and validation methodology and standards provide a
- strong framework for developing quality software.
- Software verification and validation is a broad
- systems engineering approach to ensure software
- quality and gain optimum software performance. The
- approach supports the requirements for project
- management and quality assurance and, when used with
- other software engineering standards, helps to
- produce secure, reliable, and maintainable software
- programs.

- MULTIPROCESSOR
- By Gordon Lyon
- August 1989 PB 89229017 $13.95
- Order from NTIS
-
- A simple performance estimator and alternate
- scheduling schemes can, from very modest effort,
- highlight some first-order improvement tradeoffs in
- multiprocessors. An application example of a
- quicksort is used to demonstrate the approach.
- NISTIR 89-4053ARCHITECTURALLY FOCUSED BENCHMARKS WITH A
- COMMUNICATION EXAMPLE
- By G.E. Lyon and R.D. Snelick
- March 1989 PB 89216477 $13.95
- Order from NTIS
-
- This publication sketches a framework of modalities
- for an architecturally focused performance
- evaluation. The result is a hybrid of benchmarking
- and modeling; elements of capacity-and-use trees,
- CUTS, are explored as a simplified notation. A
- description of the structure and preliminary results
- from a practical benchmark set for process
- communication are also given.
