This Statement of Site Strategy describes the procedure at Argonne National Laboratory for defining, acquiring, using, and evaluating microcomputer and word processing equipment and software in accord with DOE Order 1360.1A (5-30-86), and Laboratory policy. It is Laboratory policy to actively promote the installation and use of computing workstations to improve productivity and communications for both programmatic and support personnel, to ensure that computing workstation acquisitions meet the expressed need in a cost-effective manner, and to ensure that acquisitions of computing workstations are in accord with Laboratory and DOE policies. The overall computing site strategy at ANL is to develop a hierarchy of integrated computing system resources to address the current and future computing needs of the Laboratory. The major system components of this hierarchical strategy are: supercomputers; centralized general purpose computers; distributed multipurpose minicomputers; and computing workstations and office automation support systems. 7 refs., 3 figs.
