Distributed Systems Architecture
The networking architecture, developed by Honeywell-Bull for the GCOS environment, was Distributed Systems Architecture (DSA). Distributed Systems Architecture was strictly compliant with Open Systems Interconnection. Datanet was the communications front end for GCOS while its successor MainWay supports both DSA and TCP/IP networks. The Questar series provided VIP terminals for the DSA environment. TNVIP (VIP over IP) is used for the terminal emulation in a TCP/IP environment (GLink, Winsurf).

Famous quotes containing the words distributed, systems and/or architecture:
“Indiana was really, I suppose, a Democratic State. It has always been put down in the book as a state that might be carried by a close and careful and perfect organization and a great deal of—[from audience: “soap”Ma reference to purchased votes, the word being followed by laughter].
I see reporters here, and therefore I will simply say that everybody showed a great deal of interest in the occasion, and distributed tracts and political documents all through the country.”
—Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)
“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
“And when his hours are numbered, and the world
Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
Built in an age, the mad wind’s night-work,
The frolic architecture of the snow.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
