Towards a formal representation of EMS

Richard H. Miller and Jacques F. Vallee

Telecommunications Policy, 1980, vol. 4, issue 2, 79-95

Abstract: In spite of a growing interest in electronic message systems (EMS), there has, until now, been little effort to present a formal description or a consistent set of definitions of the functions and interactions of such systems. The elements of a theory of EMS are identified here, in a project aimed at the development of a common language in which various systems can be conceived, characterized, compared and evaluated. Potential users of such a theory are expected to be found among architects of future telecommunications networks and services, commercial entities that offer computer-based EMS, regulatory agencies, and the users of these services in the public and private sector.
