TL;DR: Both in the narrowband Integrated Services Digital Network and in the Broadband ISDN an evolution can be noted based on the same concepts and leading to comparable solutions.

TL;DR: The taxonomy is used to describe multicast response handling in a variety of networks, implementations and applications based upon the number of responses an entity expects to receive after transmitting a message to the members of a multicast set.

TL;DR: The design provides a mechanism by which to construct multiple Service Access Points and multiple Command Control Blocks for a SAP so that it can support the transmission of multiple frames without having to wait for the command completion of the earlier request.

TL;DR: It is shown how a hybrid gateway can overcome a number of limitations imposed by internetwork multicast communication, including gateway identification and remote destination identification.

TL;DR: The conception and implementation of the REB and CEB are discussed, along with the differences between the two brouters, and a detailed description of hardware and software architecture is given.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the multichannel protocol gives a substantial improvement in network throughput performance compared with that of a conventional single channel protocol employing the same overall data transmission rate.

TL;DR: Projects developed by the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Joint Technical Committee 1/Subcommittee 18/Working Group 8 are described, with the working group concentrating on the formulation of standards for text description and processing languages in the broader domain of text and office systems.

TL;DR: The design of a high speed, broadband packet switch with two priority levels for application in integrated voice/data networks is presented and the design is implemented by task-sharing in a multi-processor configuration.

TL;DR: The relationship and interworking between X.25 and frame relaying services are discussed in this article, where the authors propose an out-of-band call control scheme for frame relay.

TL;DR: What a page description language is, and how SPDL relates to other ISO computer-based office and publishing standards such as Office Document Architecture and Standard Generalized Markup Language are covered.

TL;DR: A new design approach is presented, and a system developed according to this approach provides integral support for both distribution and programming environment functions.

TL;DR: A topological design procedure for obtaining a minimum cost network is proposed which satisfies given constraints of overall network delay, maximum delay on a link, throughput and reliability.

TL;DR: Both sides of the issue are examined here, and the work of several of the major standards organizations is reviewed, describing their mission, scope and status.

TL;DR: The effect of tuning a number of transmission parameters on the capacity of 802.3 Local Area Networks for carrying packetized voice and mixed voice and data traffic is described, and can be implemented on existing LAN systems using standard Very Large Scale Integration LAN parts.

TL;DR: One of the most flexible of manufacturing line structures is discussed, the Robot Lattice Structure, which is analysed using a new form of timed Petri-nets, termed Binary Timed Petri Nets.

TL;DR: With mixed loading of intranetwork and internetwork traffic, the bridged network shows a significant improvement in throughput and delay in comparison with an equivalent single network connected by repeaters.

TL;DR: A distributed systems management model is presented which is suitable for implementation in the real world and is derived from the concept of a management information base described in the International Organization for Standardization Open Systems Interconnection management standards.

TL;DR: The implementation of a RPC facility for hetrogeneous environments consisting of a network of personal computers and Sun/Unix machines is described, including aspects such as data conversion filters, session level interface and gateway configuration.

TL;DR: A form of Time Domain Reflectometry devised for use in the instrument, along with other user requirements obtained via a survey of users, are outlined, followed by a description of refinements made to the original design specification.

TL;DR: ISO/DIS 9541 and related international standards provide a foundation which allows for high quality computer typography on a fully international basis, including an indefinite variety of different appearances for each distinct character.

TL;DR: A semi-Markov model of a Carrier Sensing Multiple Access with Collision Detection network was developed by including the transition probabilities and state holding times (sojoum times) 1 in the Markovian Chain.

TL;DR: Both the difficulties and solutions for testing the conformance of standard document interchange formats are considered here and some suggestions are offered for the developmental framework of future interchange format standards to facilitate conformance testing.

TL;DR: The hardware and software architecture adopted for a typical DAFNE node is discussed, then a methodology to aid the designer in choosing the optimal LAN configuration according to the user's needs by a highly interactive and automated environment is outlined.

TL;DR: The technology involved in smart cards, including data security issues, is presented here.

TL;DR: A metropolitan area network is one which spans a larger geographical area than a local area network, but a smaller geographical areas than a wide area network.

TL;DR: The solution proposed foresees OSI users utilizing the Virtual Terminal service, which conforms to the CCITT Recommendations for teletex service (teletex terminals) and International Standards Organization standards for Open Systems Interconnection systems.

TL;DR: The relationship between office communications and the OSI Reference Model is discussed, and the Distributed Office Architecture Model is presented, establishing a common set of guidelines and requirements to be observed in the development of distributed office applications.
