[comp.protocols.iso] Sources of information on OSI-TP and Estelle

Hi:

This is my second attempt to post this question.  Apparently the first one
did not go any further than company's boundary.

I am currently involved with investigating OSI-TP and industry trends
regarding transaction processing.  I have the following questions:

o  What are some of the journals that extensively or exclusively deal
   with transaction processing?  Conventional journals such as 
   ComputerWorld or PC Week provide little and segmented information concerning
   transaction processing.

o  How do I find out about forums/organizations/activities related to
   OSI-TP?
   Along the same lines, I am interested in INTAP (sponsored by Japanese
   Government) and need an address to establish contacts.  Other 
   activities will also be of interest to me.

o  As a side-project, I am working with Estelle.  Does anyone know of sources
   of information regarding Estelle tools available in the market?

I do have the ISO standards dealing with OSI-TP and Estelle.  What I
am looking for is more information on these topics plus some input as for  
industry's view of transaction processing in today's market.

Please email your responses to morakaba@granite.cr.bull.com.

Thank you in advance.
