    Features of the Internet history The Norwegian contribution to the development PAAL SPILLING AND YNGVAR LUNDH This article provides a short historical and personal view on the development of packet-switching, computer communications and Internet technology, from its inception around 1969 until the full- fledged Internet became operational in 1983. In the early 1990s, the internet backbone at that time, the National Science Foundation network – NSFNET, was opened up for commercial purposes. At that time there were already several operators providing commercial services outside the internet.

These applications represent some of the broad range of telemedicine applications possible. An overriding imperative is to focus on the clinical problem first with careful consideration given to the significant organisational changes which are associated with the introduction of a new service or alternative method of service delivery. For telemedicine to be effective it is also important that all sites involved are adequately resourced in terms of staff, equipment, telecommunications, technical support and training. In addition, there are a number of logistical factors which are important when considering the development of a telemedicine service including site selection, clinician empowerment,

  • Introduction to Data Communications & Networks What Is Data Communication?
    LECTURE-1 Introduction to Data Communications & Networks What is data communication? Not to be confused with telecommunication— ◦ Any process that permits the passage from a sender to one or more receivers of information of any nature, delivered in any easy to use form by any electromagnetic system. What is data communication? Data communication- ◦ Defined as a subset of telecommunication involving the transmission of data to and from computers and components of computer systems. More specifically data communication is transmitted via mediums such as wires, coaxial cables, fiber optics, or radiated electromagnetic waves such as broadcast radio, infrared light, microwaves, and satellites. History of Telecommunications Invention of telegraph Samuel Morse – 1837 Invention of telephone- Alexander Graham Bell – 1876 Development of wireless – 1896 Concept of universal access and growth of AT&T (American Telephone & Telegraph) - 1983 History of Telecommunications Continued…. Telecommunications Act of 1996 Three main developments that led to the growth of data communications systems: ◦ Large-scale integration of circuits reduced the cost and size of terminals and communication equipment ◦ Developments of software systems made establishment of communication networks easy ◦ Competition among providers of transmission facilities reduced the cost of data circuits History of Data Communication Transistor developed by Bell Labs Hush-a-Phone Case Carterfone case MCI (Microwave Communications Inc.) and Long Distance Creation of networks (LAN’s and WAN’s) Data Link Protocols Microcomputers Hush-a-Phone Case The Hush-A-Phone was a device designed to attach to the transmitter of a telephone to reduce noise pollution and increase privacy.

    International Journal of Technoethics, 2(2), 45-64, April-June 2011 45 Internet History Raphael Cohen-Almagor, University of Hull, UK ABSTRACT This paper outlines and analyzes milestones in the history of the Internet. As technology advances, it presents new societal and ethical challenges. The early Internet was devised and implemented in American research units, universities, and telecommunication companies that had vision and interest in cutting-edge research. The Internet then entered into the commercial phase (1984-1989). It was facilitated by the upgrading of back- bone links, the writing of new software programs, and the growing number of interconnected international networks. The author examines the massive expansion of the Internet into a global network during the 1990s when business and personal computers with different operating systems joined the universal network. The instant and growing success of social networking-sites that enable Netusers to share information, photos, private journals, hobbies, and personal as well as commercial interests with networks of mutual friends and colleagues is discussed.

  • 1 China's CSNET Connection 1987 – Origin of the China Academic
    China’s CSNET Connection 1987 – origin of the China Academic Network CANET by Werner Zorn (29.06.2012, 23:00/10.07.2012) Hasso-Plattner-Institute at Potsdam University/KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology The Chinese – German computer network cooperation, leading to the E-Mail “Across the Great Wall we can reach every corner in the world” on Sep. 14, 1987, had its origin in a World Bank project 1982, out of which 19 Chinese universities were equipped with SIEMENS computers. Prof. Wang Yunfeng, being the lead of that project from the university side, renewed his contacts to the German scientific- technical community from the 1940ies, as he studied machinery in Berlin as scholar of the Humboldt foundation. The important milestones within our cooperation are listed in the following timeline, chosen under the aspect that, if not successfully reached, the project itself would have ended at that point unconditionally. An explanation strictly following the timeline might be boring and also unnecessary with respect to the available literature [1]. It was therefore decided to comment and emphasize selected items under the following aspects: The key note speech in 09/1983 about the newly launched DFN-project in Germany immediately raised the request from the audience of not only telling but also supporting the participating institutes and scientists in building up similar network infrastructures and services in China. This whole issue took place at a time, where such networks did not exist in Germany, nor elsewhere in Europe, and regarding the underlying OSI-architecture and protocols nowhere in the world, not even in US.

  • Module 2 Communication Switching
    Module 2 Communication Switching Version 1 ECE , IIT Kharagpur Lesson 3 Message and Packet Switching Version 1 ECE , IIT Kharagpur LESSON OBJECTIVE General This lesson will develop the concepts of message and packet switching. Specific The learner shall be able to 1. Understand what are Message and Packet switching. 2. Know the application of Packet switching. 3. Know statistical multiplexing and its usefulness. 2.2.1 MESSAGE SWITCHING It has been explained earlier that switching plays a very important role in telecommunication networks. It enables any two users to communicate with each other. Voice being a very vital medium of human communication, telephone was invented. It permitted long distance voice communication. The need of a user to talk to a desired person out of many persons on a real time basis lead to the concept of establishing a direct path between the caller and the called users. Circuit switching was conceived to be an appropriate technique for the purpose. Telephone systems use circuit switching largely to date because it serves the purpose very well. However, a major drawback of circuit switching is the requirement of a dedicated path between the calling and the called parties. This means reserving resources like the chain of switches and transmission media over the entire path. This is obviously a costly proposition. A question arises : is there a cheaper solution? It took quite some time – many years to get the answer. However, it is interesting to know that electrical communication in the form of Telegraph arrived earlier than the Telephone. Further, telegraph was much cheaper than telephone communication.
