After a review of client/server by the professor, R. A. Elnicki, this guest lecture will attempt to provide an introduction to several major client/server applications running at NERDC , the Northeast Regional Data Center, at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. These applications primarily run in CICS and generate over 1 million transactions per day.

CICS, Customer Information Control System, is the premier OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing) product family from IBM. CICS (pronounced "KIX" or "KICKS" by many, including the IBM CICS developers in Hursley, England) is sometimes referred to as a DB/DC (Data Base/Data Communication) system and recently celebrated its 29th birthday.

In this lecture, we'll review and discuss ISIS (Integrated Student Information System), WebLUIS (Web-based Library User Information System), TeleGator (telephone-based student information system) and Kiosk (telnet-based student information system).

"CICS Is Client Server" ;-).
