Application of Associative Processing Techniques to an Integrated Voice/Data Switched Network.

摘要

Recent Defense Communications Agency studies have shown the desirability of an all-digital, switched network which integrates on a single transmission line, voice interactive and bulk data. This document describes the effort and results of a study directed at specifying the network structure and types of nodes required for such a network. Specific emphasis was placed on investigating and evaluating the feasibility of applying associative and parallel processing techniques to all-digital, switched, integrated networks. Results of this contract indicate that, using a line integration technique line the one described in this report, such a network definition is possible and that parallel and associative processing techniques can be used in its implementation. Areas requiring further investigation are also identified. (Author)
