Abstract
The problem of selecting a general‐purpose timesharing system satisfying performance criteria for user‐oriented tasks is examined and a new approach is developed. This approach characterizes the user workload by a set of terminal user level functions and results in a representative script.A response time definition is developed and employed to measure the Xerox Sigma 7/UTS timesharing system and user community at McDonnell Douglas Automation Company.Keywords
