Protocol Test Systems -

. .

Résumé :
This book presents the latest research results in protocol testing. It contains the complete proceedings of the seventh IFIP WG6.1 International Workshop on Protocol Test Systems (IWPTS '94), organized by the International Federation for Information Processing and held in Tokyo, Japan in November 1994. The book presents an alliance between research and industry and between the theory and practice of testing of data communication systems.
