	CICS: Cooperative Institute For Climate Science
		CICS aims to be a world leader in understanding and predicting climate and the co-evolution of society and the environment – integrating the physical, chemical, biological, technological, economic, social and ethical dimensions of climate change – and in training the next generations to deal with the increasing complexity of these issues.
		CICS is an outgrowth of a highly successful forty-year collaboration between Princeton University’s Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) Program and GFDL that contributed to the development of oceanic and atmospheric models, performed research on climate and biogeochemical cycling and educated several generations of postdoctoral researchers and graduate students.
		The establishment of CICS enhances and extends this long-term partnership by incorporating Princeton University faculty affiliated with the interdisciplinary Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI), thereby augmenting its expertise in the sciences, engineering and policy and facilitating new research collaborations.

	MVS Forums - Technical FAQ's - CICS
		When a user invokes a transaction, CICS locates the associated program with the transaction, loads it into storage (if it is not there), and starts a task.
		CICS uses this information to determine whether new copy of the program need to be loaded from Disk or it exists on storage.
		CICS program is to be designed to respond appropriately for each type of user action.

	CICS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Each unique CICS "Task" or transaction was allocated its own dynamic memory at start-up and subsequent requests for additional memory were handled by a call to the "Storage Control program" (part of the CICS nucleus - or "kernel").
		System calls to CICS (for example to read a record from a file) were elicited by a macro call and this gave rise to the later terminology "macro level CICS".
		Part of CICS was formalized using the Z notation in the 1980s and 1990s in collaboration with the Oxford University Computing Laboratory, under the leadership of Sir Tony Hoare.

	CNS CICS Application Performance Guidelines
		In order to encourage everyone developing applications for CICS to be "good CICS citizens" and not waste the available resources needed by others, a set of resource usage guidelines for applications was established in an attempt to provide optimum performance for CICS regions at CNS.
		These are the factors used in calculating the charge for a CICS transaction, and are the resource consumption numbers looked at by the CICS systems programmer when evaluating the performance of an application about to be installed into production.
		One difference between CICS and batch programming is that CICS provides interfaces which should be used in lieu of the equivalent MVS services.

	CICS Tips
		Most of the times, while executing a CICS transaction, we encounter situations where in the transaction holds the resources and goes in a loop.
		If your CICS system interfaces with VSAM files, it is better to use an ESDS file rather than Temporary Storage Queues as VSAM ESDS provides the same functionality as that of a TSQ.
		This is because CICS does not have a locking facility for Temporary Storage, while VSAM locks the entire CI.
