Systems Analysis Definition
<programming> (SAD) The analysis of the role of a proposed system and the
identification of the requirements that it should meet. SAD is the starting
point for system design. The term is most commonly used in the context of
commercial programming, where software developers are often classed as either
systems analysts or programmers. The systems analysts are responsible for
identifying requirements (i.e. systems analysis) and producing a design. The
programmers are then responsible for implementing it.

Systems Development Life Cycle
<programming> (SDLC) Any logical process used by a systems analyst to
develop an information system, including requirements, validation, training, and
user ownership.
An SDLC should result in a high quality system that meets or exceeds customer
expectations, within time and cost estimates, works effectively and efficiently
in the current and planned Information Technology infrastructure, and is cheap
to maintain and cost-effective to enhance.

Systems Network Architecture
<networking> (SNA) IBM's proprietary high level networking protocol
standard, used by IBM and IBM compatible mainframes.
Also referred to as "Blue Glue", SNA is a bletcherous protocol once widely
favoured at commercial shops. The official IBM definition is "that which binds
blue boxes together." It may be relevant that Blue Glue is also a 3M product
commonly used to hold down carpets in dinosaur pens.

system software
<operating system> Any software required to support the production or
execution of application programs but which is not specific to any particular
application.
System software typically includes an operating system to control the execution
of other programs; user environment software such as a command-line interpreter,
window system, desktop; development tools for building other programs such as
assemblers, compilers, linkers, libraries, interpreters, cross-reference
generators, version control, make; debugging, profiling and monitoring tools;
utility programs, e.g. for sorting, printing, and editting.
Different people would classify some or all of the above system software as part
of the operating system while others might say the operating system was just the
kernel.

<job> (sysprog) A generic job title that covers a variety of specialist
roles such as writing low-level code that talks to directly to the operating
system on a server.
Typical skills required are experience of specific operating systems, networking
(TCP/IP, ATM, Ethernet, DNS), electronic mail (POP, IMAP, SMTP), web servers,
RDBMS, operating system and network security, and hardware (SCSI, hard disks,
and backup devices).
