There is, in general, no doubt regarding the ethical and human
behaviour aspects of the research work of any type. The researchers
are thought of working for society and are low paid. However, in
the practice of science and technology, they should work, first of
all, for system designers who need their support in designing,
developing and implementing the systems under investigation.
Unfortunately, this is not a popular case in the area of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT), where the support
of the system and network researchers for the system and network
designers, developers and operators is very limited. Considering
that, the team of authors of the book (the team) decided to present
the design experiences gained during designing, implementing and
operating some line of the computer systems and networks in Poland
(the country). The country was selected purposefully: Due to the
political reasons, various embargos were imposed on the importation
of modern equipment and methods of the computer industry, and the
team needed very severely good support from the researchers to
fulfil the design and development tasks successfully. However, in
the ICT domain, which is a relatively new study and, thus, needing
the significant support of science in every country, this support
was a minute one in practice. In well developed countries,
possessing a surplus of hardware and software components, the need
for the support was also observed but could be bypassed through
using a surplus of supplies or by learning from the design errors.
This bypass was much less available in the country in severe
economic conditions and the political conditions of the so-called
Cold War. The objective of this book is to present the line of the
ICT systems and networks under design and operation from the late
1960s and finishing when this book was written, and to present the
requirements for the system and the basic support available from
this science. The research aspects under consideration were, first
of all, the performance evaluation and, for the systems of the 21st
century, the robustness evaluation, with the system designers,
implementers and operators being the ideal audience.
