  Conversational Monitor System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Conversational Monitor System (CMS) is a relatively simple interactive computing single-user operating system which was for many years IBM's principal time-sharing product.
CMS was developed in concert with VM to provide a time-sharing system; its original form was heavily influenced by CTSS, which was built by people at the same location (at MIT) as CSC.
This enhances overall system performance because the mainframe doesn't have to deal with every keystroke typed by a user; the entire set of updated screen fields is transmitted to the mainframe when the ENTER key or a program function key is pressed.

 VM/CMS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
VM/CMS (Virtual Machine/Conversational Monitor System, originally called CP/CMS when it first appeared) is a bundled pair of operating systems used on IBM System/360, System/370, System/390, zSeries, and System z9 mainframes (and compatible systems).
VM is a virtual machine operating system which provides each user with what seems to be their own personal mainframe.
An early version of the system was installed at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory in 1967 because of Lincoln's dissatisfaction with the "standard" IBM time-sharing offering, TSS (Time Sharing System), which was at that time very slow and unreliable.

 VM/CMS
VM/CMS (Virtual Machine/Conversational Monitor System) is an IBM operating system used on System/360, System/370, System/390 and zSeries IBM mainframes.
Other operating systems for the same hardware are the members of the MVS - OS/390 - Z/OS family.
CMS originally stood for Cambridge Monitor System, after the IBM laboratory (Cambridge, Massachusetts) where VM/CMS was developed; it was latter renamed by IBM to Conversational Monitor System.

 COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEM,
Early computer operating systems (those in service about 1955–65), usually known as executives or monitors, ran only one program at a time and were inefficient because most of the hardware was idle much of the time.
Operating systems may be preinstalled on a computer by the manufacturer or purchased from a vendor and then installed on the computer.
A typical client system was the Conversational Monitor System (CMS), which dealt with creating, updating, and managing files, as well as compiling and loading programs.

 Virtual Machines & VMware--Part I
As the systems developed, changes in the hardware were made to support relocation of memory, a key process to facilitating a virtual memory system.
The idea was to create an operating system that would let each mainframe user have their own IBM System/360 virtual machine (which was originally called a pseudo machine).
Rosenblum and a group of graduate students were tackling the problem from the operating system point of view, and came on the idea of building a virtual machine monitor (VMM) with an existing operating system, rather than designing one from scratch.

The acronym CMS was said to stand for either “Conversational Monitor System” or “Cambridge Monitor System.” CP could also run other operating systems, including MVS (qv).
The variety of operating systems available for this architecture —especially multiple flavors of Unix and Windows (qv)—create a demand for supporting more than one operating system on a single machine.
Emulation (qv) continues to be used in many cases to support desired operating systems by implementing an architecture on top of a very different one, in spite of performance limitations.

 Rexx brief history
Any System/370 operating system can run in a VM virtual machine; the most popular for interactive development is the Conversational Monitor System (CMS).
CMS is a single-user operating system that borrowed many of its features from earlier systems such as Multics, including the concept of controlling the system by commands.
In 1987 IBM announced that Rexx was to be the Procedures Language for its Systems Application Architecture (SAA), which was followed by implementations for a number of operating systems, including MVS/TSO, AS/400, and (in 1989), the Extended Edition of OS/2 1.2.

VM comprises CP (Control Program) and CMS (Conversational Monitor System) providing Hypervisor and personal computing environments respectively.
The term gave rise to the name of IBM's VM operating system whose task is to provide one or more simultaneous execution environments in which operating systems or other programs may execute as though they were running "on the bare iron", that is, without an eveloping Control Program.
A major use of VM is the running of both outdated and current versions of the same operating system on a single CPU complex for the purpose of system migration, thereby obviating the need for a second processor.
