Systems Analysis for Data Transmission

Fülszöveg

SYSTEMS ANALYSIS FOR DATA TRANSMISSION JAMES MARTIN The most comprehensive and up-todate treatment of the design and analysis of data transmission systems. An indispensable handbook. "Despite its length it is easy to read; despite the complexity of its subject matter it is a model of clarity and lucidity." The author draws on his years of practical experience in systems design to provide this treatment of a complex, vitai, and too-often ill-understood subject-a subject that is becoming so important that all persons in data-processing and most persons in the telecommunications field will soon have to understand it. He explains with the utmost clarity the technical and psychological considerations and the complex interrelations between them. The book analyzes, compares and contrasts the bewildering array of design alterations. The book is in six sections: SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS USER CONSIDERATIONS TERMINAL CONSIDERATIONS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS DESIGN... Tovább

SYSTEMS ANALYSIS FOR DATA TRANSMISSION JAMES MARTIN The most comprehensive and up-todate treatment of the design and analysis of data transmission systems. An indispensable handbook. "Despite its length it is easy to read; despite the complexity of its subject matter it is a model of clarity and lucidity." The author draws on his years of practical experience in systems design to provide this treatment of a complex, vitai, and too-often ill-understood subject-a subject that is becoming so important that all persons in data-processing and most persons in the telecommunications field will soon have to understand it. He explains with the utmost clarity the technical and psychological considerations and the complex interrelations between them. The book analyzes, compares and contrasts the bewildering array of design alterations. The book is in six sections: SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS USER CONSIDERATIONS TERMINAL CONSIDERATIONS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS DESIGN CALCULATIONS The last section occupies more than half the book and contains many worked examples. The solution to many of the problems in the field are counterintuitive and it is only by detailed calculation that the best methods can be found. Many organizations with data transmission networks could halve their cost if all of the design alternatives were considered and appropriate computations were performed to select the best. With this in mind the book lists the alternatives and provides programmed algorithms for comparing them and for optimizing network layouts. (continued on back flap) Vissza
