Abstract
The central computing system at the Australian Atomic Energy Commission's Research Establishment is currently based on an IBM360 model 50 computer. Twelve smaller digital computers and one analogue computer are in use at various points within a half mile radius of the central computer installation. This paper describes plans to link a number of these computers into a network connected to the central computer, and outlines the philosophy behind the setting up of this network.
