This from defence_presentation.ppt Bjørn Fredrik Davik’s doctoral dissertation ): "Ring Networks The Newhall ring (1969), a token-based ring network presented in the paper by Farmer and Newhall “An experimental distributed switching system to handle bursty computer traffic” [3]. The Pierce ring (1972): a slotted ring, allowing for uncoordinated access to the ring, proposed by Pierce in his paper “Network for block switching of data” [4]. The buffer-insertion ring (1974): an unslottet ring, allowing for uncoordinated access to the ring and use of variable sized packets. Proposed by Hafner, Nenadal and Tschanz [5]."

see: http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sj/221/ibmsj2201a2F.pdf and from: http://www.cdk3.net/networking/Ed2/TokenRing.pdf: Token rings were explored early in the development of local network technologies [Farmer and Newhall 1969, Farber and Larson 1972, Pierce 1972] but their exploitation has been slower than that of the other local network technologies. Nevertheless, they have been used in several commercial products and IBM has adopted a token ring that conforms to the IEEE/ISO 802.5 Standard [IEEE 1985c] as a basis for distributed system products.

Hi Snori, I would have preferred you edited or added to the history additions to the Rowany Festival site, rather than deleting them. It took me quite some time to write those out, check references, and quite a few discussions with SCA people of our recollections of the timeline of Rowany. I apologise if the odd line was cut and pasted from SCA.au, my oversight. Deathlibrarian 13:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
