Computing on the Desktop: From Batch to Online in Two Large Danish Service Bureaus
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper addresses the change from batch mode to online mode in offices and workplaces in the 1970s and 1980s. Particular focus is on the role of IBM and the 3270 display terminal. The change had profound implications for users and system developers. The paper is based on oral history interviews with former employees of the two large Danish service bureaus, Datacentralen and Kommunedata, and addresses a number of themes: driving forces, technology, education and training, skills and knowledge, and systems development practice.

متن کاملAlgorithms for Computing Limit distributions of Oscillating Systems with Finite Capacity
We address the batch arrival systems with finite capacity under partial batch acceptance strategy where service times or rates oscillate between two forms according to the evolution of the number of customers in the system. Applying the theory of Markov regenerative processes and resorting to Markov chain embedding, we present a new algorithm for computing limit distributions of the number cus...
