Workshop on Analytic and Simulation Modeling of IEEE 802.4 Token Bus Local Area Networks Held at Gaithersburg, Maryland on April 29-30, 1985

摘要

Token bus Local area networking technology is anticipated for use by national and international organizations seeking standard solutions for process control and Laboratory and factory automation applications. Several token passing technologies have been described; but, only one emerging standard, the IEEE 802.4 Token Bus currently includes broadband communications utilizing a prioritized, robust and deterministic access method. The workshop proceedings report the deliberations of 39 participants from industry, academia, and the Federal Government who came to NBS to (1) encourage modeling of 802.4, (2) to build competence and confidence in 802.4 technology, (3) to provide public knowledge about the behavior, characteristics and performance of 802.4 and to highlight areas for further study on the NBS 802.4 test bed facility.
