GUIs

GUI is a short form for Graphical User Interface ( GUI ). It is spoken as 'gooey'. 'Gooey' ( GUI ) is a Computer Program. Actually GUI is a piece of code written in a Programming Language.

GUI makes life easy for Computer users. It is a milestone in our list of efforts directed to deliver technology to the doorstep. GUI does not require us to gain expertise. The GUI icons are easy to make out. One can understand the message given by GUIs visually. So, GUIs are great fun to play with.

Specially designed software is for a particular purpose. Standard software practices are adopted to make a useful software unit. Such software is used again and again. Moreover, useful things are used by many.

A GUI links a Computer user to a Computer Program. This Computer Program is useful for the user. So, a GUI Program enables a user to make good use of a Computer Program that's the GUI target.

The requirements of the user are collected. This act of collection is performed by the GUI. These requirements are narrated to the linked Computer Program. The linked one operates to serve the requirements of the Computer user.

At one time a GUI interacts with a user who has to get a job done. When the user has presented the requirements specification ( in some way ) to the GUI, further action follows. The GUI in its turn talks to a certain Computer Program. This Computer Program efficiently serves the user and in this way his requirements are taken care of.

So, we can say a GUI is a good mediator between a user and a special Computer Program.

Interface Message Processor ( IMP )

Interface Message Processor ( IMP ) is a special purpose Computer. The Processor plays a vital role in Host-to-Host communication. IMP is placed between Host Computers.  IMP helps Hosts to exchange information. IMPs ( Interface Message Processors ) form a group. The group dedicates itself towards reliable transmission of Packets. _________________________ Note: An Interface Message Processor can be supposed to have a face. Firstly this supposed face of IMP is in the direction of the first Host, which sends the  message. Secondly, this face is turned towards the other Host.  Now, the IMP,  with its face turned around, communicates with this other Host.  Transformed message from IMP is communicated to this Host. __________________________ Message ( a piece of information ) sent from the Host ( source of information  ) is transformed into Packets. Transformation of the message into Packets is performed by an IMP. These Packets are forwarded to the receiver H...

Understanding Distribution

Distributed presence means that more than one object is there. Also, these objects are situated at more than one location.  One object may establish communication with another object. The first object may deliver some message. The message can be received by another object. It can be said that object distribution is successful, as one object has succeeded in delivering a message. The second object has successfully received the message. Two objects are at a distance. Communication brings them closer. The successful communication has served to highlight that the idea of distribution is meaningful. Distribution helps exchange of information. Many different objects can form a group.  Two groups can occupy different locations.  It may happen that at a particular location there are several objects. But, all these objects talk among themselves.They talk among themselves and make things happen.  There is a resultant of this talk process. All the communicating objects  at...

Message Switching

Message is a piece of information. Switching means movement.  In a Network there are a number of nodes. Nodes are vital junctions of a Network. Message Switching means transmission from one node ( one point ) of a Network to another node ( another point ). So, transmission is from point to point. Transmission from one point to another point is a single hop ( jump ). Message Switching means switch over of a Message. In one step of Message Switching,  Message switches over from one node to another.  The two nodes involved in a Switching operation are on the same Network. It cannot be that the beginning node ( source node) is on one Network and the second node ( sink node ) is on a different Network. In a point to point ( one junction to another junction ) transmission, a Message travels a part of its journey. Message moves from previous point to next point. The Network is Point-to-Point Network. A Switching activity means movement of a message. Indeed, the Message has mov...
