[comp.std.misc] OSI Reference -- Anthology

balavi@PacBell.COM (Behzad Alavi) (06/10/89)

I am in the process of compiling a list of BOOKS, PERIODICALS,
and RELATED ARTICLES or PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS dealing with
any aspect of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI).

For example, I can list the following:

(Books ..........................................)

     Title:  OSI Explained
    Author:  John Henshal and Sandy Shaw
 Publisher:  Halsted Press, a division of John Wiley & Sons; 1988

     Title:  Standards for Open Systems Interconnection
    Author:  Keith Knightson, Terry Knowles, and John Larmouth
 Publisher:  McGraw-Hill; 1988

      ...

(Periodicals ....................................)

     Title:  Open Systems Communication -- Monthly
 Publisher:  Omnicom, Inc

       (Report on current progress of ISO/OSI work in the
        Standards community and industry.)

     Title:  Open Systems Data Transfer -- Bimonthly
 Publisher:  Omnicom, Inc.

       (In-depth tutorials of ISO works.)

     Title:  Open Systems Applications -- Quarterly
 Publisher:  Omnicom, Inc.

       (Quarterly analysis of OSI technology and 
        discussion of specific emerging products.)

     ...

(Products .......................................)

    Product Name:  Open Systems Message Exchange for MVS
          Vendor:  IBM
           Price:  $74,000 (one time)

     ...

What I have listed is only a sample.  If you would e-mail 
additional references, I certainly appreciate it.  Please
note any "related" material in addition to the "hardcore"
stuff that directly address OSI.

I will post a summary as soon as there's enough input to make
it worthwhile.

Thanks in advance
