OSTI ID:5380951
Responsibilities at Sandia National Laboratories are divided into two areas, scientific and administrative. INQUIRE is used in th Administrative Distributed Network (ADNET). ADNET is a joint venture between computing organizations and applications user organizations to facilitate the evolution of end-user computing. The system currently consists of four application nodes and one development node. INQUIRE is used for retrieval of corporate data to application user organizations, providing timely responses to information requests. With the use of a fourth generation language, a greater number of organizations can utilize INQUIRE without extensive training in a procedural language, making INQUIRE more usable to a broader spectrum of users. The operating environment consists of a network of IBM model 43xx machines. Three application machines and a development machine reside in Albuquerque and communicate using the IBM System Network Architecture framework. 6 figs., 2 tabs. (DWL)
