• The software elements of a system are:
- System control program such as MVS, VM, or VSE, which provide basic
system functions
- Subsystems, which provide more specialized system functions
- Long term applications, which provide support for various processing envi
ronments
- Short term applications, which run In a batch environment.
• A domain Is a convenient way to refer to a system from a network point of
view. A
