Abstract

A local network has been developed to interconnect computers used by the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University (APL/JHU). The network is based upon proven, commercially available networking components and the APL/MVS interactive system which offers Iverson's APL to users of large-scale IBM processors. The need for users of the APL language to access data within minicomputer systems and to control specialized peripherals connected to those minicomputers constituted a major motivation for the network. Shared variables provide the interface between APL users and the APLNET network. Network management functions are implemented in APL for maximum ease of customizing and changing both the displays and commands used by management.
