Abstract:

An attempt is made to suggest a method for analyzing teleconferencing procedures. The method suggested is illustrated by some examples in which many of the variables are fixed. First, certain definitions and symbols are created as a means of conveying the network and procedural alternatives. Second, certain networks are described in general terms by the suggested method. Finally particular networks which have received attention are described by the same method and their procedural issues discussed. In this selection of examples, no recommendations are made of one technique over another. The primary emphasis is on teletype as a communication media since it is the most common and currently practical mode of teleconferencing with security under present world-wide communication conditions.
