NIRVANA GOSIP (Government Open Systems Interconnect Profile) requirements

Wood, B.J.

NIRVANA is an effort to standardize electrical computer-aided design workstations at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The early effect of this project will be the introduction of at least 60 new engineering workstations at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, and at Allied Signal, Kansas City Division. These workstations are expected to begin arriving in September 1990. This paper outlines the requirements that a NIRVANA Network must satisfy to comply with the Government Open Systems Interconnect Profile (GOSIP). The author also identifies several issues involved in achieving GOSIP compliance. 4 refs., 1 fig.
