By system software I mean operating systems, dbms', tp monitors, ... etc. And by 'how they develop...', I mean: what tools are used, what identifiable methodology, how they use communication networks to facilitate distributed system software development, .. etc. Some IS vendors of interest include: IBM, DEC, Sun, HP, NCR, Unisys, ... etc. I will be away for a week, but I will summarize and post any responses.
