| Abstract: | Systems Application Architecture (SAA) as IBM's grand plan for software development in the 1990s is characterized. SAA's ultimate goal is cooperative processing across heterogeneous environments. This means the ability to move new and existing applications with little effort from one computing environment to another. Some of IBM's customers are either unaware of this goal or see little utility in it. IBM must define SAA-approved common ways to access files, provide security etc., and create a new technique to support services already used, for the feat that SAA is obsoleting current software.The SAA framework and the changing models of computing are sketched. |
