Zahir, Sajjad; Paulson, Dan – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1991
Analyzes the decision to network a collection of microcomputers into a local area network (LAN) based on cost factors. A mathematical model of the decision-making process is proposed that identifies an indifference point where the choice between a network and a stand-alone environment is equally attractive.
