Abstract

Computer communication networks are complex systems often involving human operators, terminals, modems, multiplexers, concentrators, communication channels as well as the computers. Events occur at an extraordinary range of rates. Computer operations take place in micro-seconds, modem and channel operations take place on the order of milliseconds, while human interaction is on a scale of seconds or minutes, and the mean time between failures of the various equipments may be on the order of days, weeks, or months. Moreover, many systems are being designed and built today which involve thousands of terminals, communication links, and other devices working simultaneously and often asynchronously.
