Data in many growing fields has an underlying network structure that can be taken advantage of. In this dissertation we apply data and network science to problems in the domains of systems biology and healthcare. Data challenges in these fields include noisy, heterogeneous data, and a lack of ground truth. The primary thesis of this work is that…

Research criteria are established for computer networks and ten areas of research are identified and briefly described. (RAA)

The 1970 meeting of EDUCOM devoted a period to a consideration of the theoretical and practical aspects of national, regional and local computer networks. Some of the papers presented at this meeting are presented here. (Author)

The series, of which this is the initial report, is intended to give a selective overview of research and development efforts and requirements in the computer and information sciences. The operations of information acquisition, sensing, and input to information processing systems are considered in generalized terms. Specific topics include but are…

A selected set of terms and definitions relating to computer networking is presented in a coherent manner. An introduction gives the rationale for the glossary, defines the scope by a brief tutorial overview, and states the glossary format and conventions. The glossary is arranged alphabetically and contains about 140 definitions and associated…

Computer networks meet the needs for instructional programs, management information systems, and library media services in many schools and universities. In most cases, existing telephone lines can be used; however, dedicated lines should be considered if use is likely to be extensive. Planning for network growth is essential. (MLF)

A look at the Iowa Regional Network, which was established in order to provide large scale computing capability to medium sized institutions, and to share experience in developing the use of computing in support of instruction. (Author)

Discusses an open-ended, generalized programing system which eliminates the duplication of effort and materials in data collection, storage, and reporting that is common in most piecemeal-evolved current management systems. (DE)

As the use of information and the means to find it change due to computer and communication network technology and the advancement of online computer searching, abstracting and indexing services must decide which information services they intend to supply. (CWM)

Describes current online technology, including the physical and functional aspects of three types of networks: search service, customized service providing bibliographic files, and service center. (FM)

Recent developments in telecommunications technology have made possible local information networks that can connect individuals within organizations of any size, configuration, or purpose. To better understand the impact of such technology, a study of a recently implemented computer based messaging system (CBMS) was undertaken at a large, private…

Cornell University is installing a high-speed telecommunication system that will link campus telephones and computers with the outside world. Voice communication, computer data, and video images will travel through a university-owned multipurpose system. (MLF)

A discussion of computer networks for educational purposes, primarily for information storage and retrieval. (HB)

Describes pitfalls which developing nations must avoid in the creation of an information system. (CP)
