A method, computer program product, and computing system for defining a communication computing system within a computing network, wherein the computing network includes a plurality of disparate platforms configured to provide information concerning various topics; enabling a user to issue a verbal command concerning one or more of the plurality of disparate platforms; processing the verbal command to generate a platform-useable command based, at least in part, upon the verbal command; and providing the platform-useable command to at least a portion of the plurality of disparate platforms via the communication computing system.

Communication system and method

A method, computer program product, and computing system for defining a communication computing system within a computing network, wherein the computing network includes a plurality of disparate platforms configured to provide information concerning various topics; and exposing an endpoint within the computing network that provides directory assistance to enable one or more specific disparate platforms, included within the plurality of disparate platforms, to communicate with the communication computing system.

A program loader for virtual machine (VM) operating systems (OS) for computer and data processing systems permits the loading and execution of programs in different virtual machine environments, depending on addressing and residency requirements of the programs. An improved subsystem to the VM operating system contains command language and file management capability that allows programs to be invoked via a direct branch linkage in the addressing mode of the target program, allows the program's addressing mode and residency mode to be dynamically and interactively overridden at any point in the load process, controls whether previously loaded programs remain in storage along with the program that is currently being loaded, and allows the loading and execution of programs that are architecturally dependent as well as programs that have no architecture dependencies.
