Computer Operating Systems Capabilities: A Source Selection and Analysis Aid

Abstract

The report presents a method for translating operational data processing requirements into specific criteria for use in selecting, validating or evaluating computer operating systems. The criteria have been structured on the basis of an integrated functional classification structure applicable to the executive/control functions, system management functions and data manipulation functions of currently available operating systems. In concert with the methodology presented, a checklist form is included as an aid to developing selection criteria for particular applications. A diagram of the functional classification structure is also included.
