Questions to think about: Why is there a need to have a network? Discuss the Bus Topology , why is can it be the best option apart from, it being cheap. If you where a Manager of an Institution which Network topology would you prefer and why? Computer Systems require Care and Maintence, discuss why that is important.

The Scope of Computer Science: Part 2 Understanding the Computer Learning Environment Network Topologies Computer Network Topology – Mesh, Star, Bus, Ring and Hybrid Geometric representation of how the computers are connected to each other is known as topology. There are five types of topology – Mesh, Star, Bus, Ring and Hybrid. Types of Topology There are five types of topology in computer networks: 1. Mesh Topology 2. Star Topology 3. Bus Topology 4. Ring Topology 5. Hybrid Topology Mesh Topology In mesh topology each device is connected to every other device on the network through a dedicated point-to-point link. When we say dedicated it means that the link only carries data for the two connected devices only. Lets say we have n devices in the network then each device must be connected with (n-1) devices of the network. Number of links in a mesh topology of n devices would be n(n-1)/2. Advantages of Mesh topology 1. No data traffic issues as there is a dedicated link between t...
The scope of Computer Science Computer science is the study of algorithmic processes, computational machines and computation itself. As a discipline, computer science spans a range of topics from theoretical studies of algorithms, computation and information to the practical issues of implementing computational systems in hardware and software. Computer science , the study of computers and computing, including their theoretical and algorithmic foundations, hardware and software , and their uses for processing information. The discipline of computer science includes the study of algorithms and data structures, computer and network design, modelling data and information processes, robotics and artificial intelligence . In simple terms Computer Science is the study of how computers work and what makes computers work the way they work, how to make the computer work the way the user desire to use it. Computer...
