Abstract
In this paper, an integrated office system environment is modelled and studied. Composed of multi-media workstations, printer servers, database servers, electronic mail servers etc., the office information system (OIS) is interconnected by a LAN. The performance of three selected networks namely Appletalk, Starlan and Ethernet, in handling the typical office system applications, is evaluated. The study applies discrete-event computer simulation, using the QNAP2 simulation software. Results comparing the performance and utilization of the three networks are presented and some useful conclusions obtained.
