Preface
This reference publication is designed to provide non-
technical personnel with a conceptual introduction to
teleprocessing. It presents the concepts of teleprocessing
with little emphasis on programming techniques. Following
an historical survey is a review of the elements of a tele-
processing system, including a discussion of typical
application areas and basic teleprocessing systems flow.
Equipment characteristics, communications terms and
concepts are presented in detail, and summary chapters
are devoted to a study of teleprocessing systems design
and the concept of the total system.
The major objectives of this manual are to:
1. Define the elements of, and examine the information
flow within, a teleprocessing system.
2. Introduce the basic functions and capabilities of the
teleprocessing equipment in the IBM product line.
3. Provide a background for the study of teleprocessing
systems design through a discussion of the elements
of a teleprocessing system, including communications
line considerations, network design, and programming
support.
For titles of associated publications, see the bibliography
at the end of this manual.
