A Request for assistance.....

I am a member of a small group of systems professionals working in Unix and
workstation technology development.  We are in need of supporting data related
to the productivity of using unix and/or workstations in the following areas:

 1. Software Development
 2. Product Development
 3. Decision SUpport Systems with operators on Factory Floor
 3. Decision Support for Management
 5. General Manufacturing Systems

I would like citations of research or similair material that contrasts the
Unix and workstation environment against traditional proprietary environments
(HP/MPE, DEC/VMS, IBM/MVS,TSO etc)  Even though personal 
opinions and observations may be offered, we need hard data to build a case
for this technology.  E-mail responses are welcome.  I will summarize and
post to the net later.
