Considerations in the design of a network of minicomputers

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>"The advantages of a network consisting of a number of minicomputers coupled to a large time shared computer are described. This type of network is very useful in the areas of data acquisition, real time control of experiments, and front-end processing for computer graphics.</p> <p>Problems associated with the development of a network of this type, various possible solutions, and the trade-offs involved are presented. These problems are classified into two categories: the interface between the network and the central computing facility, and the interface between the remote sites and the rest of the network.</p> <p>The design constraints, rationale, and implementation of the minicomputer network at the University of Missouri-Rolla are describe "--Abstract, page ii.</p>
