IEEE Standards Seminar POSIX Open Systems FRAMEWORKS and PROFILES A Dynamic 2-day Seminar on an IEEE State-of-the-Art Standard April 29-30, 1991 San Diego, CA June 10-11, 1991 Washington, DC From the developer of POSIX, Learn About: - Information Technology Specifications - POSIX Open Systems Environments - Frameworks/Profiles POSIX Open Systems FRAMEWORKS and PROFILES In the world of information processing, once competing vendors with proprietary systems prevailed, forcing systems professionals to use hardware and software typically developed to be compatible only with their chosen systems environments. This restricted the exchange and use of valuable information, fostering the demand for open systems (OS) that would allow applications portability and systems interoperability. In response to this demand, IEEE developed POSIX. An information technology (IT) specification, POSIX provides today's UNIXr community with an international, synchoronize standard for an operating system interface that promotes applications portability and system interoperability in a UNIX-based environment. For systems professionals to assure interoperability among multi-vendor systems and applications portability across multiple hardware platforms, they need to know today's IT specifications and how they interrelate. And to meet particular OS requirements, they may need to use combinations or subsets of IT specifications, otherwise known as profiles. This seminar is one of the few resouces available that explains POSIX and other IT specifications and open systems profiles. It introduces methods for creating profiles that meet the specialized needs of an organization, program, or project. In this seminar, attendees will learn how to apply profiles in the procurement process, and how to satisfy targeted application domains, such as computer aided manufacturing, office automation, and software development. Based on IEEE P1003.0, this seminar provides the latest information on the existence and interrelationships of IT specifications and profiles. In this seminar, you'll learn: - Information Technology (IT) specifications and their applications - Concepts and terms of POSIX Open Systems Environments - How the various POSIX standards and projects interrelate - How to identify standards related objectives, especially applications portability and system interoperability - Methods for creating frameworks and profiles - How to apply existing frameworks and profiles to procurement activities and projects - How to develop frameworks and profiles that describe targeted software and systems environments - How to define and satisfy purchasing objectives by using standards profiles When you're back on the job, apply your new expertise and: - Effectively evaluate your system and applications requirements - Assure applications portability and interoperability in your work environment by properly developing and using standards profiles - Create systems profiles suitable for guiding systems integration and procurement - Provide a clear basis for your procurement activities, conformance testing, and applications development - Identify market segments that share common requirements - Reduce specification and engineering costs by developing profiles with a broad appeal to user communities WHO SHOULD ATTEND This seminar is specifically designed for systems and software professionals who have specifying or procurement responsibilities, and are interested in the strategic direction and status of key IT standards forums. It is intended for those who define architectures for large distributed systems; set standards policy for their organizations; and evaluate functional, performance, and integrity requirements for large systems, including: - Senior Program/Project Systems and Software Engineers - Software Buyers - Systems Architects - Procurement Officers DATES and LOCATIONS April 29-30, 1991 San Diego, CA June 10-11, 1991 Washington, DC VALUABLE TAKE HOME MATERIALS! - ISO/IEC 9945-1 : 1990 (E) (IEEE Std 1003.1-1990) a $75 value! - A complete lecture book with the latest draft of IEEE P1003.0 SEMINAR FEES Take advantage of our Early Bird Discount Enroll before March 30, 1991!
