NETWORK BASED INFORMATION SERVICES
ROBERT E. KAHN
CORP. FOR NATIONAL RESEARCH INITIATIVES
Over the past twenty years, major changes have occured in
the network user and information services. The basic communications
services, consisting of reliable virtual circuits and "best effort"
packet delivery have become available at higher speeds, but they remain
essentially unchanged otherwise. A level above these communications
services are such capabilities as e-mail, remote login, file transfer,
and remote job entry. With the introduction of LANs, high performance
personal computers and workstations, more advanced network services are
now possible. Many of these offer the potential to greatly expand the
use of networks and are likely to become wide- spread within the next
decade. The evolution of these services will be reviewed, and services
such as digital libraries and knowledge banks will be discussed.
