Showing papers in "Computer Networks in 1976"

TL;DR: A protocol for use at the host-host level of computer networks is presented and assertions which reflect important characteristics of the protocol are derived and verified, for a demonstration that cyclic sequence numbers could be used in the protocol without ambiguity.

TL;DR: In the next five to ten years significant benefits would accrue if data translation techniques, an integrated data base control system, and the integrated database schema and physically distributed data issues were investigated.

TL;DR: Under the assumptions of this study, packet switched implementations showed decided advantages over circuit switched implementation, as measured by transmission utilization efficiencies and overall network costs.

TL;DR: Examples of actual conferences are presented to illustrate the group potential applications of teleconferencing through computer networks, derived from the identification of five distinct styles of computer conferencing that are best suited for specific research and management tasks.

TL;DR: A brief overview is given of the status of planned public special data networks as at the end of 1975, and some line-switched data networks under development and a number of international ones are considered.

TL;DR: For the aerospace laboratory NLR in the Netherlands the considerations are discussed that formed the basis of a long-term plan to realize an optimal computer network serving two research establishments.

TL;DR: In order to make the network the true basis of social activities, it is first necessary to examine and to understand its intrinsic characteristics, which will be done by comparing it with the telephone network.

TL;DR: The data support the general view that substantial benefits can be achieved through selective use of computational resources at a variety of different computer centers.

TL;DR: This paper attempts to identify basic technological and economic factors and forces which underlie this development of computer/ communication networks, and to interpret them in terms of their impact on the delivery of computer services, in Terms of issues to be faced and problems to be solved as the authors attempt to capture the potential benefits of networking.

TL;DR: A structural simulation model is described which allows a user to access, modify and experiment with the actual logical design of computer networks and allows the model user to get specific quantitative information on the efficiency of alternate protocols for a particular environment.

TL;DR: The software design aspects of a distributed medical data base, to be implemented on a homogeneous minicomputer loop network of PDP-11/45s, using the UNIX operating system is described.

TL;DR: In this article, the issues of flow control in packet-switching computer networks are discussed, including the reasons why it is required and several proposed mechanisms for its implementation, as well as future trends in hardware.

TL;DR: A solution to two problems in distributed processing is described, based on a PDP-11 minicomputer, which supports user terminals directly and supplies text-editing, text-formatting and some compilation services in a very cost-effective manner, using the UNIX operating system.
