Since standardization for the transaction processing has not been defined, Nomura has developed its own application protocol and profile following standardization activities. Successful operations since September 1988 show the effectiveness of the Nomura OSI. System configuration, upper and lower protocol layers, implementation, OSI-SNA gateway, conformance test, and migration strategy are described.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":262795,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on the Application of Standards for Open Systems","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127260174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ISO/IEC joint technical committee has established the technical and formal basis for international standardization in this area. Regional workshops for open system were founded. They formed, in March, 1989, a coordinating committee for the development of international standardized profiles (ISPs) for open systems. An overview of the latest achievements at the international level is given. In parallel to global OSI profile harmonization, work has been started to consider profiles in areas other than OSI. The European Workshop for Open Systems (EWOS) has launched activities to address (a) the application of OSI standards in various industry sectors and (b) aspects of application programming interfaces (APIs) in support of open systems and will contribute the results of these and other activities to further the international work in this area.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":262795,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on the Application of Standards for Open Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114851087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need to improve portability and interoperability has resulted in widespread interest in standards such as POSIX (portable operating system interface for computer environments) and GOSIP (government open systems interconnection profile). Although they are important milestones in the effort to achieve portability and interoperability, POSIX and GOSIP are not sufficient to address the full spectrum of needs. A more comprehensive approach is needed to achieve an open systems environment (OSE) that integrates POSIX with GOSIP and provides additional functionality to accommodate the broad range of application requirements. Although the OSE concept is relatively new, it has matured to the point where there is an emerging international consensus on the functionality (i.e. the collection of interfaces, protocols, services, and supporting formats) that should be included in an OSE. Information regarding the OSE concept is presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":262795,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on the Application of Standards for Open Systems","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131769053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It gives vendors an effective marketing tool. The vendors do not want to duplicate a costly and time consuming set of interoperability tests for each potential customer. They want to test once, record the results, and cite those results in response to procurement requests. The savings gained from reduced testing costs can be passed on to the user.
