The Slave Interactive System
Kenneth J. Busch, Gottfried W. R. Luderer · 1967
The Slave Interactive System (SIS) is a software system that makes available an interactive computing facility on a multiprogramming, remote-batch computer system. SIS runs under the computer's operating system in the same manner as a batch (or slave) job. The other slave programs continue as background work during an interactive run. However, SIS is intended to serve only one interactive user at a time; it is not built for multiple-access, time-sharing usage. SIS is a research vehicle designed to continue exploratory programming in user-oriented computing which requires a high degree of interaction and system flexibility.
