Computer communication network design: experience with theory and practice

Abstract: The ARPA Network (ARPANET) project brought together many individuals with diverse backgrounds, philosophies, and technical approaches from the fields of computer science, communication theory, operations research and others. The project was aimed at providing an efficient and reliable computer communications system (using message switching techniques) in which computer resources such as programs, data, storage, special purpose hardware etc., could be shared among computers and among many users. The variety of design methods, ranging from theoretical modeling to hardware development, were primarily employed independently, although cooperative efforts among designers occurred on occasion. As of November, 1971, the network has been an operational facility for many months, with about 20 participating sites, a network information center accessible via the net, and well over a hundred researchers, system programmers, computer center directors and other technical and administrative personnel involved in its operation.

E-commerce in Chile: what factors affect the purchase decision?

Abstract: This research analyzes the factors that influence decision-making of purchasing over the internet (EC – e-commerce) in Chile. Twelve influencing variables were identified and organized into 4 categories: Sociodemographic, Economic, Familiarity with Internet and ICT and E-commerce Experience. A binary regression model was used to study the purchasing habits of a subsample of 5651 consumers who were listed in the 5th Survey about Access, Uses, Users and Willingness to Pay on Line. Marginal effect analysis was carried to find out that the determining variables that influence purchasing over the internet are gender, age, education level, income level, access to credit cards, frequency of Internet use, ability to use internet and a positive experience of giving personal information online.

Some thoughts on Network Graphics

Abstract: The method of operation described in Note 86 was to interpret data structures to produce graphic order codes for display. This method has proven satisfactory in the past and we favor this approach. The Note 86 proposal is directed toward a particular concept of operation (i.e., minimal graphics terminal connected to computational facilities at remote sites); our remarks embrace extended operations that include smart programs at each end of the connection as well as the minimal terminal.

User/Server Site Protocol Network Host Questionnaire

Abstract: The answer to a number of questions about the characteristics and operation of Network HOSTS will be useful to implementers of some early versions of TELNET, and/or to the USER/SERVER SITE PROTOCOL Committee in their consideration of a full TELNET PROTOCOL specification. Questions of current interest are covered on the attached questionnaire. The Technical Liaison contact at each HOST site is asked to review these questions and fill in the answers as soon as convenient after receipt. One of the members of the committee listed below will contact each HOST site by telephone in the next few days to record the answers. Results of the questionnaire will be tabulated and distributed as an RFC.

NETRJS: A third level protocol for Remote Job Entry

Abstract: A. Introduction NETRJS is the name for a message protocol and set of control conventions which will allow users at remote Hosts to access the RJS ("Remote Job Service") remote batch subsystem of CCN. RJS[1] was written at CCN to support remote batch (car reader/line printer) terminals over communications lines. RJS makes a remote batch terminal's unit record devices operate as if they were at the central site; thus, a remote user enters OS/360 jobs, complete with JCL, into the remote reader. The jobs are spooled into the operating system and run in their turn, and the printed and/or punched output is returned to the remote terminal from which the jobs originated (unless the user or operator reroutes the output). The remote terminal may also include a console typewriter to be used by the remote operator to receive and send messages and to exert control over his terminal [2]. When RJS is used via the ARPA Network, the "remote terminal" is expected to be a multiprogrammed user process in a remote Host. We will use the RJS term "remote site" for such a user process, which presumably simulates unit record devices by file I/O. Furthermore, several users at the same remote Host may simultaneously use NETRJS, acting as independent "remote sites" distinguished by 8-character names called _terminal-ids_ (because each remote site appears to RJS as a separate physical terminal). Valid terminal-ids will be assigned to individual users or user groups at remote Hosts who wish to use NETRJS. Under NETRJS, a separate ARPA network connection is opened from this remote site to CCN for each (simulated) unit record device. Each such connection will be called a _channel_ and be designated _input_ or _output_ with reference to CCN. We define a _standard_ remote site in NETRJS to have the following five channels (See Figure 1): 1._Operator Input Channel_-Commands and messages entered by remote "operator" console. 2 _Operator Output Channel_-Message stream which would normally be directed to remote operator.
