Design automation in network computers
Edward K. Bowdon · 1972
Network computers are becoming a reality in the seventies. While systems such as the ARPA Network, Carnegie Mellon's PLN, the Collins C-System, CDC's Cybernet, and GE's Time Share Net are coming to fruition, even more grandiose systems are being discussed. These networks all offer the designer the potential of combining the advantages of resource sharing, data base sharing, and message switching with those of design automation. In this paper we present a brief description of a network computer currently under development and then propose an interactive design automation system for this geographically distributed network.
