DIN-A-MIT — a system of the basic modules User-Agent, Post-Station, User-Record-Base and Message-Base — can be used for varied purposes such as a Mail, a (network-) Status and a Library service. So-called “user-records” which “float” in the system due to the mobility of the user contain the link information for messages stored on different computers. One-to-one and one-to-many messages are possible by assigning attributes which represent either a unique user-name or an interest group. In all cases only a single message copy is stored. Implementation takes place in a portable subset of PASCAL based on a standardized FORTRAN interface to the network.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100316,"journal":{"name":"Computer Networks (1976)","volume":"8 2","pages":"Pages 93-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0376-5075(84)90038-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84826351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the proposed DTDMA scheme, the time slot assignment is a call-oriented to voice traffic and packet-oriented to data traffic. Since voice is synchronously transmitted on an implied priority basis, its performance is not affected by the data traffic on the channel. The performance of the proposed scheme has been analysed both by analytic models and simulation. It seems feasible to satisfactorily meet both voice and data performance objectives.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100316,"journal":{"name":"Computer Networks (1976)","volume":"8 2","pages":"Pages 81-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0376-5075(84)90037-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85806857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
