NQS.

NQS is a derivitive of the Multiple Device Queuing System.  It was
invented for NASA Ames by Informatics General Corporation.  It was
designed by Jim Tanner (now at Boeing) and implemented by Brent
Kingsbury (now at Sequent.)  NQS is supported in industry as a batch
system for Unix.  (At least Cray, Convex, and Intergraph support it
that I am aware of.)  There is a version available for UTS, and
another for BSD, so I would assume that it would be easy to port to
AIX, if it hasn't already been.

NQS is also in the process of becoming an IEEE standard.

You can obtain the "public domain" source for the original version
from COSMIC, or you can contact Dave Tweten at Ames for further
information.

I believe Dave can be reached at det@orville.nas.nasa.gov
