[comp.arch] Common Reference Architecture

cazier@mbunix.mitre.org (Cazier) (12/12/90)

I understand that POSIX.0 is developing some Computer Architecture reference
model to guide federal agencies in procurements and admin. of POSIX systems.

Has anyone seen a graphical representation of such a model or know of some
de facto architecture model that has been in existence for some time?

I view architecture as more than just the hardware - facilities, security,
connectivity, interoperability, user interfaces, networking, etc. all go
into a computer system architecture for analysts and integrators. Any help
along these lines would be greatly appreciated.
