COMPUTER-COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AND TELETRAFFIC.

The topics discussed in the 59 papers in this volume include the following: computer-communications networks and policy; traffic flow in a distributed loop switching system; sampled queuing systems; combinatorial connecting networks; routing techniques for message switching networks with message-outdating; a heuristic approach to large multicommodity flow problems; the cable television system as a computer-communications network; a model for data transmission in a queuing system with priorities; a communications interface for digital computers; the global digitally switched communications system evolution; and an on-line model for computation-communication network analysis and tradeoff studies.
