The UCOM survey has been reformatted by the author. Here it is. Russ NAME : UCOM.X 500 (tm) It includes DSA, DUA for end users on TTY like terminals, an API which gives acess to directory via DAP. DUAs for graphical devices will be available in September ABSTRACT : UCOM.X is a commercial product which offers services and protocols defined in the X.500 recommendations of the CCITT (ISO 9594). It is based on PIZARRO, the research prototype developped at INRIA by Christian Huitema's team. Some typical applications of UCOM.X 500: UCOM.X 500 is being used by La Poste (French Post) to manage distributed applications. It is also involved to control document transfer within a large French Hospital. Distributed applications are built above UCOM.X 500 APIs. UCOM.X 500 is evaluated by SITA (Airlines company network) to build up a private personal directory service. UCOM.X 500 is used by French research centers involved in the PARADISE project (a COSINE project) which aims to interconnect various implementations of DSA at a European level. COMPLETENESS UCOM.X 500 is fully conformant to CCITT 88 recommendations. It also offers ACL and caching services. Classes, attributes and syntaxes described in CCITT recommendations. Moreover, it is possible to add new classes, attributes and syntaxes definition. INTEROPERABILTY UCOM.X 500 design provides interoperability with other conformant implemantations of X.500. Interoperability tests are under way within the PARADISE project (e.g. QUIPU). BUGS UCOM.X 500 is a commercial product. As such, it is supported and bugs are fixed when detected. Bugs reports can be sent to our support team via electronic mail. CAVEATS AND GENERAL LIMITATIONS DIT structure is stored in main memory. It means that the order of magnitude of the number of supported objects is 10 000. In 1992, 100 000 objects will be supported. INTERNETWORKING ENVIRONMENT UCOM.X 500 works under TCP/IP (RFC 1006) and under X.25 (TP 0). HARDWARE PLATFORMS UCOM.X 500 works on : . Sun 3, Sun 4 . RS 6000 (IBM) . P 9000 (Philips) . DEC machines . DPX 2000 (Bull) . HP 9000 300 . IN 6000 (Siemens machines) . PC 386 It can be ported to any UNIX machines. DUA will be available on PC-DOS with MS-Windows 3 by the end of the year. It will be available on Macintosh next spring. SOFTWARE PLATFORMS UCOM.X 500 is portable on any UNIX like operating systems It has been ported under : - AIX, - UNIX V.3 - SUN O.S. 4 - Ultrix - HP UX - BOS (Bull Operating System) - SPIX AVAILABILITY UCOM.X is commercially available.
