  abstract =     "The VAX distributed file service (DFS) provides fast,
                 remote file access for VAX/VMS systems. DFS appears to
                 be a local file service and thus requires no changes
                 either to applications or to user commands. The DFS
                 designers first examined the VMS file system to
                 determine what type of service-disk, file, or
                 record-would best achieve their goals. Having
                 determined that a file service would meet the goals,
                 they used a queuing network model to assess program
                 response time and throughput for users in a multiple
                 workstation environment. This model was used to assess
                 a number of design alternatives. The resulting
                 implementation is well integrated into the VMS
                 operating system and consists of device drivers and a
                 server process. The authors present the design options,
                 the model and the DFS implementation.",
