OAGI (Open Applications Group, Inc.)

OAGI stands for Open Applications Group, Inc. was founded in 1994 placed at Marietta, Georgia. The Open Applications Group Inc. is a nonprofit consortium of software vendors and businesses created to develop and define XML based interoperability specifications and standards among enterprise scale applications. It was formed by a small number of business enterprise software companies and organizations and has grown to more than sixty members companies. Its members have created a framework for business software application interoperability and have developed a repeatable process for quickly developing high quality business content and it’s XML representations.

OAGI had focused on building reusable, interoperable XML messages. It had created the XML message methodology on which STAR standards, called BODs (Business Object Documents) are based on. Open Applications Group had released OAGIS Version 8.0 Using Core XML Technologies.

Mission of OAGI :

Reduce the cost of integration by developing inter-operable, cross-functional, cross-industry, data-model-driven, and extensible standards to meet the challenge of a rapidly-changing global digital economy.

Atanasoff - Berry Computer ( ABC )

The Atanasoff – Berry Computer (ABC) was the first electronic computer, designed and built by Lowa State College Mathematics and Physics professor John Vincent Atanasoff and his assistant, Clifford E. Berry ( a graduate student) . They worked in the basement of the physics building at Lowa State College on the computer from 1939 until 1942 when it was abandoned due to World War II . Unfortunately, after being abandoned , it was neglected and eventually disassembled for parts. In 1994, a team from Lowa state University began to rebuild the computer, finishing it in 1997. The system weighed more than seven hundred pounds (320 kg). It contained approximately 1-mile (1.6 km) of wire, 280 dual-triode vacuum tubes, 31 thyratrons , and was about the size of a desk. The idea behind the ABC were later used in the construction of the ENIAC, the world’s first general purpose computer. Purpose / Working ABC was designed only to solve systems of l...
