The popular concept of a multiple-access processing system as a common facility for many users (at remote terminals) with varied processing requirements, has over the past few years received considerable attention. The research for proper hardware and software design solutions has been primarily directed at installations which would support a large and diverse group of users with varied and sometimes complex applications, thus implying the requirement for a powerful computer and large memory storage. The usefulness of these time-sharing systems stems from their capability to provide computing power to any user when, where and in the amount needed.
