Systems Application Architecture (SAA) is a set of standards for computer software, developed by IBM in the 1980s and implemented in IBM operating systems including OS/2. The purpose of the standards was to enable the development of interoperable software on different platforms and operating systems. The most important of the standards are:

Common Programming Interface (CPI)
Common User Access (CUA)
Common Communication Support (CCS)

Of these, only the CUA, which standardizes parts of the user interface, remains influential.

Systems ConceptsSystems Concepts (now the SC Group) is a company focused on making hardware products related to the DEC PDP-10 series of computers. One of its major products was the SA-10, an interface which allowed PDP-10s to be connected to disk and tape drives designe	Systems engineeringSystems engineering (or systems design engineering as a field originated around the time of World War II.
