New edition of a text/reference, updated to reflect rapid developments in the field. The organization closely follows the structure of the ISO reference model for open systems interconnection. The first part concentrates on fundamental issues; the second on computer networks; and the third on open systems. Requires little background knowledge beyond an understanding of basic logic circuits and computer architectures and a working knowledge of a high-level structured programming language. Annotation c.
