Analytic and simulation methods in computer network design
Leonard Kleinrock · 1970
The Seventies are here and so are computer networks! The time sharing industry dominated the Sixties and it appears that computer networks will play a similar role in the Seventies. The need has now arisen for many of these time-shared systems to share each others' resources by coupling them together over a communication network thereby creating a computer network. The mini-computer will serve an important role here as the sophisticated terminal as well as, perhaps, the message switching computer in our networks.
