Opis

The contributions provide an overview of research in tele-communications and distributed systems. The main part con-concentrates on the evaluation of the CCITT recommendationsand ISO standards with respect to OSI and ISDN and user ser-vices. It also reviews new applications that are becoming a-vailable in modern offices, manufacturing, and the publicdomain. Different approaches are discussed as to how theseapplications can be builtmore easily with advanced program-ming rools. Deals with operating systems support for commu-nication systems.

O autorze

Günter Müller is senior scientist for Biochemistry at Aventis Pharma Germany, Frankfurt am Main, and honorary lecturer for genetics at the University of Munich. He was born in Peissenberg (Germany) and studied anthropology, zoology, genetics and biochemistry at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, finishing his PhD thesis under the supervision of R. Zimmermann in 1987. After post-doctoral fellowships at the universities of Ulm and Heidelberg, he joined the pharmaceutical industry in 1990 and received his habilitation at the University of Munich in 1996. He is interested in molecular mechanisms in both lower eukaryotes and mammalian cells, and their use as drug targets for metabolic disorders.
