Views on planning information networks

The increasing need for information networks and the increasing change affecting these networks are making their development and planning increasingly sophisticated. This paper attempts to identify a comprehensive information profile for such networks, and discuss its use for enhancing the management of network development and supporting future planning decisions.

Investigation of demands on information networks helps in the planning, design, and improvements of such networks. This article presents a mathematical model upon which such investigations can be based and describes how the model has been used for the investigation of a GULFNET (the research network of the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries)case study. The authors are with King Saud University and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.ated with the volume of network users, while the use demands are related to both network capacity and service utilization. emands for information network D services are basically human demands associated with human behaviour and activities.Previous research into network access and use' demands have concentrated on telephone networks. This is natural, since such networks have been around for over a century, and they are still the most widely available networks, providing services to over 500 million subscribers worldwide.
