Abstract
In 1978, the IEEE decided that a new bus standard should be drawn up which would cater for the industry's movement towards multimicroprocessor systems. It was important, though, that this standard should preempt the emergence of a new generation of proprietary buses which become de facto, like Multibus, before they are completely specified. This paper describes the background to P896 (Futurebus), how it has developed and where it stands at the moment. The paper then details the goals and objectives set up for Futurebus and explains why decisions were made. Since the standard has yet to be completed, the paper can only predict, though with some authority, how the standard will progress.
