5. In my capacity as Chairman of the VM Capacity Management Committee,
I will chair the following sessions:
a. Capacity Management Committee Planning Session

c. VM Capacity Management Free-for-All. Members of the
VM Capacity Management Committee and IBM performance experts
will try to provide answers to users' questions about VM
performance and capacity issues.
d. VM Workload Characterization. Different VM workloads make
different resource demands on the I/O, paging and processor systems.
Barton Robinson of IBM will discuss resource requirements, including
specifics of CMS intensive, PROFS intensive, and SQL/DS intensive

6. The Agency's VM/CMS computer system is among the largest in the
world. It is through the visibility we enjoy in organizations, such as SHARE,
that we are able to attract skilled computer professionals to the Agency. By
sharing and exchanging ideas with industry-wide colleagues, we are able to
influence the decisions of the computer vendors upon whom we are dependent.
7. I am not under cover and will be identified as an Agency employee.
