It originally competed with IBM s Information Management System IMS and CICS products and predated the popularity of relational databases. History DMSII provided an ISAM indexed sequential access method model for data access, transaction isolation and database recovery capabilities. The database schema was written in the proprietary Data and Structure Definition Language DASDL . The DASDL source code was compiled with a system utility into a file containing the metadata for the database known as the description file . A database utility program would use the database description file to create the remaining components of the database. Proprietary language compilers such as COBOL and ALGOL would use the database description file to create database related elements in the object code of the compiled program. These compilers used language extensions to provide a more natural interface to the database by the programmer. A number of intrinsic functions were inserted by the compiler to ensure the program and database used the same definition of database structures. Originally, DMSII maintained a data dictionary that the application programmer referenced in its source code. The source for the data structures was maintained in an ordinary ..., it performed poorly. See also LINC 4GL Notes references DEFAULTSORT Unisys Dmsii Category Proprietary ... more details

Facts After twenty years of working for Unisys Ltd in Milton Keynes , in 1994 Mr Johnson was dismissed for an alleged irregularity in his work. He suffered a mental breakdown, drank heavily, was admitted to mental hospital , could not find a new job despite over 100 applications and at age 52 was unlikely to have a promising future career. He claimed that he was unfairly dismissed, and that the manner of his dismissal, which was summarily without the chance of a fair hearing and with one month s pay in lieu only, caused his health problems. He sought compensation for unfair dismissal, and in addition for the manner of dismissal given the employer s breach of mutual trust and confidence . Judgment The House of Lords held that while Mr Johnson had been dismissed unfairly there could be no compensation for the manner of Mr Johnson s dismissal if that would exceed the statutory scheme laid out in the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the accompanying limits on compensation that could be sought through the system of employment tribunals. While a common law right to full compensation for breach of contract might exist, it could not circumvent the intention of Parliament in laying down limits to compensation for dismissals. In the course of his judgment Lord Hoffmann made some important remarks on the contract of employment. ref 2001 http www.bailii.org uk cases UKHL 2001 13.html UKHL 13 , 35 ref Cquote My Lords, the first question ... more details

3DVE or 3D VE originally 3D Visible Enterprise, but now called the Unisys 3D Blueprinting Approach was created by Unisys to provide visibility within existing Enterprise architecture enterprise organizations into how proposed changes will affect their business operations. This is done by constructing one or more models often called blueprints within 3D VE to represent various aspects of the organization, which will allow users to perform what if type analysis to determine dependencies and side effects of various changes. These models are built using a collection of design and analysis tools, such as Rational Software , Proforma , and Cost Xpert , along with software internally developed by Unisys to interface these Commercial off the shelf COTS software packages and provide additional modeling capabilities. Within 3D VE, an organization is partitioned into a series of layers Layer 1 Executive Vision Layer 2 Business Process Layer 3 Software Applications Layer 4 Infrastructure By modeling any one of these layers, the various components of that layer can be represented, along with relationships between other components. By modeling adjacent layers, the user is then able to determine the relationships between components of different layers. Once the relationships between components has been identified, the user is able to determine what components might be affected when any components ... proprietary software components with open source components.

System Development Corporation SDC , based in Santa Monica, California , was considered the world s first computer software company. Fact date April 2009 SDC started in 1955 as the systems engineering group for the Semi Automatic Ground Environment SAGE air defense ground system at the RAND Corporation . RAND spun off the group in 1957 as a non profit organization that provided expertise for the United States military in the design, integration, and testing of large, complex, computer controlled systems. SDC became for profit in 1969. With that change, it began to offer its services to all comers rather than only to the American military. In 1980, SDC was sold by its board of directors to Burroughs Corporation . In 1986, Burroughs merged with the Sperry Corporation to form Unisys , and SDC was folded into Unisys Defense Systems. In 1991, Unisys Defense Systems was renamed Paramax, a wholly owned subsidiary of Unisys, so that it could be spun off to reduce Unisys debt. ref http articles.janes.com articles International Defence Review 93 PARAMAX SYSTEMS CORPORATION DIVISION OF UNISYS FREDERICK F JENNY.html ref In 1995, Unisys sold Paramax to the Loral Corporation , although a small portion of it, containing some projects that had originated in SDC, remained with Unisys.

The Table Of Contents Editor TOCED is a programmer and system administrator utility for Unisys mainframe computers of the former UNIVAC 1100 2200 series . TOCED was developed during the late 1970s by Michael E. Darnell, who modeled the program interface and commands on the Univac Text Editor developed by Dr. Roger M. Firestone. The TOCED processor is used to conversationally edit the table of contents of an OS2200 program file. It allows all or portions of the table of contents to be edited, program elements to be deleted, and any elements deleted after the last PACK of the file to be recovered.

These applications are generally intended for use in the airline , transportation, and hospitality industries. Older USAS applications such as USAS RES Reservations System or USAS FDC Flight Data Control were written originally in Fortran , but elements of various applications were also written in COBOL , Unisys 1100 2200 assembly language ASM or MASM , and the LINC 4GL . USAS application mainly developed for Airlines business use. There were many applications in USAS suite. Check In, Reservation, Cargo operations are the main suites. Lufthansa IT systems plays a major role in developing USAS suite. Most if not all USAS applications are written as text based online transaction systems which are designed for low overhead and fast response times. The environment most commonly used is HVTIP short for High Volume TIP . The original USAS applications such as USAS RES Reservation System , USAS CGO Cargo Application was written in the early 70s and were adapted in different forms in varying degrees of customization. With recent advancements in computing technology however, the USAS line of products is slowly diminishing and is being replaced especially in the Airline industry with other Open Source, Front End products.

WXP may also refer to the video game company The Whole Experience WXP , a trade name for The Whole Experience, Inc. http wxp.unisys.com WXP , the Weather Processor, is a weather data manipulation and visualization package developed at Purdue University in the 1980s. In the 1989, WXP was adopted by http www.unidata.ucar.edu Unidata as the Unix based weather analysis tool and was distributed to over 40 universities. WXP became a showcase venture for Unidata which at the time was promoting many of the new standards of software development and user interaction. In 1992, WXP was copyrighted and sold commercially through the Purdue Research Foundation. WXP version 4 became widely used in the university community to develop weather web site. The primary developer of WXP Dan Vietor developed the wxp.eas.purdue.edu web site which became one of the first weather web sites on the World Wide Web. With the move of the developer to Unisys in 1998, the rights to WXP were transferred to the Unisys corporation, which currently maintains it. Although many developers have played a role in WXP over the years, Dan Vietor is generally regarded as the main contributor. His work in developing WXP was honored at the 2005 American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting, where he was presented the DeSouza Award by Unidata. WXP is now a commercially licensed product.
