[comp.software-eng] System Software Development Process

siraj@endor.harvard.edu (Raad Siraj) (12/03/89)

I am curious to know how the IS vendors develop their system software.
By system software I mean operating systems, dbms', tp monitors, ... etc.
And by 'how they develop...', I mean: what tools are used, what identifiable
methodology, how they use communication networks to facilitate distributed 
system software development, .. etc.

Some IS vendors of interest include: IBM, DEC, Sun, HP, NCR, Unisys, ... etc.

I will be away for a week, but I will summarize and post any responses.
