Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe a senior/graduate level introductory computer communication architectures course from a distributed system architecture level. The course will deal with switches, paths, and their system implications. Functional topology issues of distributed and network systems are discussed. The implementation of their data transfer mechanisms via paths and switches is considered from the viewpoint of their protocol and construction tradeoffs.This course is based around seminar courses taught at the University of Minnesota in the Computer Science Department, a book to be published in June 1979, by D. C. Heath, and a tutorial developed for the IEEE Computer Society to be given at the first Annual International Distributed Processing Conference.
