Abstract: This paper presents a taxonomy, or naming scheme, for systems of interconnected computers. I t is an attempt to provide an implementation-independent method by which to identify demgns, and a common context in which to discuss them. The taxonomy is based on interprocessor message handling and hardware interconnection topology, and distinguishes ten basic multiple-computer architectures. Various relevant attributes are identified and discussed, and examples of actual designs are given for each architecture.

TL;DR: Professor Kirstein, whose group at University College London operates one node of the large international ARPA network, describes the motivation for setting up such networks and the problems which must be resolved before they are deployed more widely.
Abstract: How desirable and inevitable are large heterogeneous, distributed computer networks? In this article Professor Kirstein, whose group at University College London operates one node of the large international ARPA network, describes the motivation for setting up such networks and the problems which must be resolved before they are deployed more widely. Those problems are often more political and sociological than technical.
