Abstract
The microcomputer network is a powerful processing machine that is constructed using a number of small microcomputers. ach microcomputer is based on a single chip microcomputer supplemented with memory and peripherals. The network was designed to be a general purpose machine to model the interactions of several programs running asynchronously. The requirements of such a model are easily met by the microcomputer network, sufficient memory space is available, the basic execution rate is variable, and a random number generator is included. The microcomputer network is general enough for a wide range of applications, therefore a section on programming the network is included. The next chapter is an overview of the network. Chapter three covers the design and construction of the network hardware. The software that runs on the network is discussed in chapter four along with a section on programming the network. A list of references is included for specific information on devices used in the design.
