Computer conferencing systems This is the group version of electronic mail. Basically, what we have is a collection of DSSs with some means of communication among the individuals that comprise the group. This form of communication might be regarded as a product hierarchy in which people communicate.

Maria is an engineer in an multinational company which dismantles electronic products like cell phones, televisions, compute, wash-machines and other domestic appliances. Her day starts early in the morning with a fifteen-minute video-conferencing meeting with her interdisciplinary team spread around the world. 

We chose this problem because of the increasing demand for efficient and reliable communication protocols in the telecommunication industry. Computer networks, in fact, are gaining an increasing importance as they penetrate business and everyday-life (Stevens, 94). Technological evolution results in increased computational power and transmission capacity. These two phenomena open the way to the development and exploitation of new applications (e.g., video-conferencing) which require demanding services ftom the network. As a result... 

Considerable research is done in computer networking by smaller companies. Cisco leads in router research and many other areas, such as wireless access points, video-conferencing equipment, and network management software. Symantec and MacAfee develop a great deal of security software for networks. Google, Yahoo , and Microsoft spend millions every year on research and development to develop a better search engine. 

The rapid development of the Internet (see Internet and Internet-based Computational Chemistry Tools) and its successor, the World Wide Web (WWW), has made the computer a valuable communications resource for both chemical educators and their students. One of the simplest uses is as an electronic office. This allows the faculty member and the student to communicate at times that are most convenient for each participant, largely eliminating the problem of trying to find the professor in his or her real office. Beyond that, using the computer for electronic communications allows the professor to post class announcements and assignments, offer helpful hints on the material, perform video conferencing for students, and even do testing.
