Abstract

The marriage of telecommunications and computers has resulted in the teleprocessing networks we have today. The data flowing over these networks has become vital to the operation of business and government. Our future well‐being and lifestyles are becoming more dependent on decisions made from information delivered via this teleprocessing environment. The development of the microcomputer has brought the teleprocessing environment from our workplace into our homes. This article explains the baseline elements and concepts behind an operating teleprocessing network. It examines the hardware and software elements that work together and are necessary for the transmission and reception of data and defines terminology associated with this environment to provide an explanation of the basic concepts and their interrelationships. © 1986 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
