Long-term evolution of management information systems toward distributed processing, accompanied of late by the development of inter-organizational systems, has posed increasing demands on the netw...

Embedding a point-to-point network in the expansion of infrastructure for information systems

:In the distributed processing environment characteristic of the management information systems of today, a need to superimpose an additional information flow onto an existing computer communication network arises frequently. The situation may result from a company’s expanding needs for communication over its private or a shared network, or because a new user company is joining an existing shared network. In order to accommodate the new information flow without negatively affecting the waiting times for the previously contracted communications, network capacity may have to be expanded. We present an algorithmic method for least-cost capacity expansion of a set of network paths preselected to carry the incremental information flows. Owing to the insights gained as a result of extensive computational experiments, we then provide a simplified technique applicable to a broad class of cases. Polynomial time complexity of the algorithms included in the presented methodology points to its practicality.

Optimal search algorithm for extrema of a discrete periodic bimodal function

This paper describes a data-voice integrated network with N clusters of users, N interface message processors-concentrators, one central processor and one intermediate processor-concentrator. The network is described and a polynomial time-complexity algorithm for overall design is provided.
