Linked Systems Project, Part 2: Standard Network Interconnection

The Linked Systems Project, directed toward implementing computer‐to‐computer communications, consists of two major program components. One component is the development of the Standard Network Interconnection. The other is the creation of a practical application —Authorities Implementation—which was discussed in the preceding article. This discussion of the Linked Systems Project covers the design and implementation of the Standard Network Interconnection. The article on “Open Systems Interconnection” in Library Hi Tech, No. 9, should be read as an introduction to this topic (and article).
