Abstract

The time factor involved in the transportation of information is assuming more importance in data processing. Examples of systems that illustrate the growing dependence of the computer industry on communications are: computer complexes, interactive terminals, computer utility, real time processing and management information systems. In these applications the computer hardware and software costs, as well as computer throughput, have been found to be critically dependent on the data communication operation.
