Abstract

Contains four contexts for a computing system tool's interconnections that offer insight into the operational problems of interconnecting computing system tools with their environment. It presents recommended collections of standard contextual attributes describing relationships between a computing system tool and its organizational deployment, its human user, its executable platform, and its peer tools. The values of these contextual attributes are references to organizational, industrial, and professional standards.
