Abstract
The introduction of PCM and digital transmission coincided with the development of digital switching technology. Two independent developments have merged to produce the present genre of digital switching systems and networks. The first of these developments does not depend on the use of digital transmission techniques, although the way in which it has been implemented in practice makes use of the digital transmission facilities. This development is concerned with the use of digital computers to optimally configure the telecommunications network to obtain efficient user interconnection.
