Abstract

Roberts illustrated the potential use of packet switching technology by postulating a personal computer terminal using radio broadcasting to connect the user to a computer. The proposed terminal had a unique five-finger keyboard and plasma-discharge display. The keyboard would generate and send characters, one at a time, to the computer using 64 bit packets per character. The computer could convert these to a 35-bit (5X7) pattern and retransmit a 144-bit packet to the terminal to control a 5 X 7 dot matrix character. Thus, the terminal needed no character generation logic and only a minimum of digital control logic to interface keyboard and display to a radio modem. This was a reasonable concept insofar as the terminal was intended to operate within a short distance of the computer to accommodate low-power radios, and so long as only a few terminals were in use.

Optimization of yard remarshalling operations in automated container terminals
Abstract
When an automated container terminal (ACT) yard is busy, the loading, unloading, container retrieval, and grounding of different liners may be performed in the same time window, which can lead to conflicts in yard crane operations on the seaside ...
A decision support system for managing combinatorial problems in container terminals

A container terminal is a facility where cargo containers are transshipped between different transport vehicles. We focus our attention on the transshipment between vessels and land vehicles, in which case the terminal is described as a maritime ...
Intelligent planning for allocating containers in maritime terminals

Maritime container terminals are facilities where cargo containers are transshipped between ships or between ships and land vehicles (tucks or trains). These terminals involve a large number of complex and combinatorial problems. One of them is related ...
