Future Directions in Local Computer Networks
Prof. David J. Farber, University of Delaware
Wednesday, October 5, 1983
Over the past 15 years, the speaker and others have been exploring the
local computer network area. The results of this research have been a
number of prototype architectures (and now production units), each of
which had different aims and results. In addition, a number of operating
systems have been developed in support of these networks. This talk
will describe some of the conclusions from this research and implications
on future hardware/software designs. Plans for the integration of results
of this research into the design of an experimental high bandwidth fault
tolerant flood network will be discussed.
Professor Farber will also discuss the effect of the evolving technology
in micoprocessors, local networks, and distributed processing as it affects
the architecture of the Trusted Office of the Future.
As usual, coffee and cookies will be served beforehand in the DCS Lounge.
