The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before. The telegraph, telephone, radio, and computer have all set the stage for the Internet's unprecedented integration of capabilities. […]

Man-machine interaction in many fields of endeavor should be greatly facilitated in the near future through the use of interactive graphical languages. To provide a variety of display scope communication procedures, Graphic Service System which functions as o generalized graphical language translator, is being developed to aid the definition as well as the use of new graphical languages.

Everybody knows the Internet needs QOS (quality of service) if it's ever going to grow up. Trouble is, nobody seems to know what IP QOS actually is-least of all the […]

The most dominant force over the past 20 years in both computer and communications architecture has been the continuous and rapid decrease in the cost of computer hardware. Not only has this electronics revolution affected the capability and design of computer systems, but it has also made possible a radically new concept of data communications. Called packet switching, this concept is strongly dependent on the cost of computing since it uses computers to correct transmission errors-, to provide high reliability through alternate routing, and to allocate communication bandwidth dynamically on a demand basis rather than as a preassigned bandwidth.
