Basic Principles of Networking

· NNetworking – problem of delivering a message from a source to destination.

· Tthe problem of giving meaning to these messages received is called communication.

USE OF COMPUTER NETWORKS

· NNetwork for companies

Ø Resource sharing

Ø Dynamic rerouting

· NNetworks for people

Ø Access to remote information

Ø Person-to-person communication

Ø Interactive communication

Communication channels a pathway over which information can be transferred.

· CComplex channel - is a channel whose whose direction of transmission is unchanging

· HHalf-duplex channel a channel in which the direction may be reversed, but the transmission does not occur at the same time.

· FFull-duplex channelchannel that allows simultaneous exchange in both directions.

Types of Transmission Technologies

· Point to point network consist of many connections to individual pairs of machines.

· Broadcast networks all the machines on the network share a single channel.

Types of Network Topologies

· BBus Network - common channel connects all devices.

· RRing network all messages travel in a ring, either in clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

· TTree network integrates multiple star topologies into a bus.

· SStar network - a central connection point called the (HUB) is used and all devices connect through it.

· MMesh network involves the concept of routes, where a message is sent on the network can take any several possible paths from the source to destination.

DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

ü ((CDP) Centralized data Processing: the conventional way of doing all the processing & control on centralized computers.

ü ((DDP) Distributed Data Processing: manipulation of data using distributed system.

ü Client/Server: extension of distributed data processing wherein it provides the best of both centralized & distributed data processing.

ü Local Area Network (LANs): connect network devices over relatively short distances.

ü Wide Area Network (WANs): span distances.

Information System
- particular discipline or branch of learning that is concerned with the application of information to organizational needs.
Information - measures of quantity of data in message(information theory contest) any data that is relevant to has some value (information system concept
Data - any sign , symbol or measure, which is an form that can be directly captured by a computer or machine.

Capabilities of Information Technology
  • Input
  • Processing
  • Storage
  • Output
Expert System - contain knowledge-base containing accumulated experience and set of rules.

Applications:
  • Medical diagnosis
  • Chemical analysis
  • Genetics
  • Geology
  • Computer Fault diagnosis
  • VLSI design
  • Software development and debugging
  • Configuring computer system
  • Financial analysis
  • Education
Management Information System (MIS)- an integrated computer system for a business and other organizations that collects and analyzes information from all departments to support operations abd decission-making functions.
Database Management System (DBMS)- collection of computer programs that allow users to store modify and extract information from database.
Database-a systematic collection of related information organized in such a way that a computer program can quickly select desired pieces of informaation.
Field- a single piece of information
Record- one complete set of fields
File- a collection of records

Query Language- is a specialized language that allows users to request information from the database.

SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language)

Benifits of DMBS

  • Customer details database
  • Business sales database
  • Searchable database
  • Confidential information database
Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
  • Based on a relational model developed by E.F Codd
  • Data and relations are organized in tables
  • A table is collection of records and each record in a table contains the same field.
  • Certain fields maybe designated as keys, such that when searching for a particular field, the keys will serve as indices to speed up the search
Characteristic of a good Database Management System
  1. atomicity
  2. consistency
  3. isolation
  4. durability
Executive Information System(EIS)- a tool that provides direct on-line access to relevant inforamtion
in a useful and navigable format.
Decision Support System (DIS)-interactive computer based system for informing and supporting makers.

The Internet & World Wide Web

Brief History
Important Development
Year
1962-The internet was first conceived in the early 60's under the leadership of the US Department of Defense's Advance Reasearch Project Agency (ARPA)
1965-Work on ARPANET begins.
1967-Delegates at symposium for the Association for Computing Machinery in Gatlingberg, Tennessee, discuss the first plans for ARPANET.
1968-First generation of networking hardware and software design.
1969-ARPANET connects Stanford Research Institute, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah.
1970-ALOHANET developed at the University of Hawaii.
1972-The InterNetworking Working Group becomes the first of several standards-setting entities to govern the growing network. Vinton Cerf is elected the first chairman of the INWIG, and later becomes known as the "Father of the Internet"
1973-The ARPANET goes international.
1974-Bolt, Beranek & Newman opens Telnet, the first commercial version of the ARPANET.
1976-Queen Elizabeth goes online with the first royal email messages.
1978-TCP checksum design finalized.
1979-USENET newsgroup established to talk about the net, politics, religion and other topics/
1982-The term "internet" is used for the first time.
1983-TCP/IP becomes the universal language of the internet. Internet as we know it today is born.
1988-Internet worm unleashed. The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) was formed to address security concerns raised by the worm.
1990-The ARPANET was decommissioned, leaving only the vast network-of-networks called the Internet.
1991-The World Wide Web is born!
1993-Mosaic, the first graphics-based Web browser, becomes available.
1996-The internet covers the globe. The Age of the Internet has arrived.
