#我建议大家去youtube看相关的影片,会更容易明白。然后network也算是热门题目,有时也会叫你画出来,所以每个network的结构要好好了解。比较常见的题目,说有这几种设备(printer,scanner,pc),然后某某想要用这个network来连接,画出来它的architecture。

#关于这几种network,再详细一点的可以去https://www.javatpoint.com/types-of-computer-network看。我建议去看会更好,因为都包括在computer network里面的。我这里只是说了四个比较常用的。

  • Network Topology:
    • The arrangement with which computer systems or network devices are connected to each other.
    • May define both physical and logical aspects of the network.
    • Both logical and physical topologies could be the same or different in the same network.
    • Types:
      • Bus Topology

        • All the workstations, servers, and printers are joined to one cable - 'the bus'.
        • At each end of the cable, a terminator is fitted to stop signals reflecting back down the bus.
          //一条线,头和尾都有terminator。

        • Advantages:
          -easy to install
          -cheap to install (does not require much cabling)

        • Disadvantages:
          -If the main cable fails or gets damaged, the whole network will fail.
          -As more workstations are connected, the performance of the network will become slower because of data collisions
          -Every workstation on the network 'sees' all of the data on the network, which can be a security risk.
      • Star Topology

        • Each device on the network has its own cable that connects to a switch or hub.
        • Most popular way of setting up a LAN.
        • May find a star network in a small network of five or six computers where speed is a priority.
          //每个电脑or设备都是连接到hub/switch,所以其中一个设备坏了也不会影响其他设备,但如果hub/switch坏了,全部连接的设备电脑都不能用



        • Advantages:
          -very reliable (if one cable or device fails, then all the others will continue to work)
          -high performing as no data collisions can occur

        • Disadvantages:
          - Expensive to install as this type of network uses the most cable, and network cable is expensive.
          -extra hardware is required (hubs or switches) which add to the cost
          -If a hub or switch fails, all the devices connected to it will have no network connection.
      • Ring Topology

        • Each device (eg workstation, server, printer) is connected in a ring so each one is connected to two other devices.
        • Each data packet on the network travels in one direction.
        • Each device receives each packet in turn until the destination device receives it.
          //比如我要发文件给另一个电脑,假设我的是电脑A,我要传到电脑D,在ring topology里,我的文件会顺着A去D的方向传,结果就是电脑B和C也会收到这个文件直到传去电脑D才会停。

        https://www.tutorialspoint.com/data_communication_computer_network/images/ring_topology.jpg

        • Advantages:
          -Can transfer data quickly (even if there are a large number of devices connected) as data only flows in one direction so there won't be any data collisions

        • Disadvantages:
          -if the main cable fails or any device is faulty, then the whole network will fail (a serious problem in a company where communication is vital)
      • Point-to-Point

        • Contains exactly two hosts such as computer, switches or routers, servers connected back to back using a single piece of cable.
        • Often, the receiving end of one host is connected to sending end of the other and vice-versa.

        https://www.tutorialspoint.com/data_communication_computer_network/images/p2p_topology.jpg

        • If the hosts are connected point-to-point logically, then may have multiple intermediate devices.
        • But the end hosts are unaware of the underlying network and see each other as if they are connected directly.
#大家主要懂bus,star和ring topology就好,这三个比较main一点,还有其他种类的可以自行去了解。每个topology的结构要记得,有出过题目叫画出来的。

Communication Protocols
  • A set of rules and regulations that allow two electronic devices to connect to exchange the data with one and another
  • A system of rules that allows two or more entities of a communications system to transmit information via any kind of variation of a physical quantity.
  • The protocol defines the rules, syntax, semantics, and synchronization of communication and possible error recovery methods.

//Protocol是规矩(A set of rules and regulations), 允许两个以上的电子设备连接并互传不同类型的数据/信息( analog, digital, files, etc. )

  • Function:
    - to exchange messages from one computer system to another.
    - cover error detection & correction, signaling, and authentication.
    - explain the semantics, syntax & brings analog & digital communications together.

  • Types:
    • Transmission Control Protocol (TCP):

      • Used for communicating over a network.
      • A communications standard that enables application programs and computing devices to exchange messages over a network.
      • It sends packets across the internet and ensures the successful delivery of data and messages over networks.
      • TCP organizes data so that it can be transmitted between a server and a client
      • Before it transmits data, TCP establishes a connection between a source and its destination, which it ensures remains live until communication begins. It then breaks large amounts of data into smaller packets, while ensuring data integrity is in place throughout the process.

      //TCP是最常用的protocol之一。TCP的运作方式:在传送数据前,先建立目标和来源之间的连接。然后把大的数据包分成较小的数据包,在传送时确定数据完整性。 *Data Integrity:在传输、存储信息或数据的过程中,确保信息或数据不被未授权的篡改或在篡改后能够被迅速发现。

    • Internet Protocol (IP):

      • Designed explicitly as addressing protocol.
      • Method for sending data from one device to another across the internet
      • Mostly used with TCP=Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP).
      • The IP addresses in packets help in routing them through different nodes in a network until it reaches the destination system.
    • Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP)

      • A combination of protocols (TCP and IP) that work together to ensure data is delivered to its intended destination within a network.
      • The most popular protocol connecting the networks.
      • IP obtains and defines the address (IP address) of the application or device the data must be sent to.
      • TCP is then responsible for transporting and routing data through the network architecture and ensuring it gets delivered to the destination application or device that IP has defined.

      //IP负责确定目的地地址,TCP负责通过网络来传输数据,并确定传输到正确的IP地址

    • Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
      • The transmission of voice and multimedia content over an internet connection.
      • Allows users to make voice calls from a computer, smartphone, other mobile devices, etc.
      • Exp Included features: video calls, audio calls, voicemail, e-mail, team chats.
      • Uses an internet connection instead of a telephone company's wiring.
      • A VoIP service will convert a user's voice from audio signals to digital data, then send that data through the internet.
      • If another user is calling from a regular phone number, the signal is converted back to a telephone signal before it reaches that user.
    • USB Protocol (Universal Serial Bus)

      • A serial communication of two-wire protocol.
      • To communicate with the system peripherals.
      • To send and receive the data serially to the host and peripheral devices.
      • USB communication requires driver software that is based on the functionality of the system.
      • USB devices can transfer data on the bus without any request on the host computer.
    • Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP):

      • HTTP is designed for transferring a hypertext among two or more systems.
      • HTML tags are used for creating links. These links may be in any form like text or images.
      • To load web pages using hypertext links.
      • An application layer protocol designed to transfer information between networked devices and runs on top of other layers of the network protocol stack.
      • Gives users a way to interact with web resources such as HTML files by transmitting hypertext messages between clients and servers

      //Hypertext(超文本): text which contains links to other texts. 点击超文本就会跳转到另一个文档页面。
         HTML: language for describing the structure of Web pages.
         

    • Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS):

      • A standard protocol to secure the communication among two computers one using the browser and other fetching data from web server.
      • Used for transferring data between the client browser (request) and the web server (response) in the hypertext format, same in case of HTTP except that the transferring of data is done in an encrypted format.
      • Thwart hackers from interpretation or modification of data throughout the transfer of packets.
      • Exp: Banking websites
        //跟http一样功能,只是更加安全
    • User Datagram Protocol (UDP):

      • An alternative to TCP, which is used to establish low-latency connections between applications and decrease transmissions time.
      • A substitute communication protocol to TCP, implemented primarily for creating loss-tolerating and low-latency linking between different applications.
      • Does not provide error connection or packet sequencing nor does it signal a destination before it delivers data, which makes it less reliable but less expensive.
      • A good option for time-sensitive situations, such as Domain Name System (DNS) lookup, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and streaming media
    • Post office Protocol (POP):

      • Designed for receiving incoming E-mails.
    • Simple mail transport Protocol (SMTP):

      • Designed to send and distribute outgoing E-Mail.
    • File Transfer Protocol (FTP):

      • Allows users to transfer files from one machine to another.
      • Types of files may include program files, multimedia files, text files, and documents, etc.
    • Telnet:

      • A set of rules designed for connecting one system with another.
      • The connecting process here is termed as remote login.
      • The system which requests for connection is the local computer, and the system which accepts the connection is the remote computer.
    • Gopher:

      • A collection of rules implemented for searching, retrieving as well as displaying documents from isolated sites.
      • Also works on the client/server principle.

#主要知道热门的几个是什么就好,有一些是额外知识。主要是syllabus没有指明包括哪几种protocol,范围太广了。大家还是根据学校笔记或者历年考题去认识需要的protocol。

Programming Languages

  • Give instructions to a computer in a language that the computer understands.
  • Languages that help programmers to give instructions to the computer to perform specific tasks.
  • Exp: C, C++, Java, Phyton
  • Types:
    -Functional Programming Language

    -Object-oriented Programming Language

#顺便一说Sem 2会学C programming

Mark-up Languages

  • A computer language that uses tags to define elements within a document.
  • It is human-readable, meaning markup files contain standard words, rather than typical programming syntax.
  • Usually either specify how something should be displayed or what something means
  • Exp: HTML, XML

Scripting Languages

  • A programming language that is interpreted.
  • It is translated into machine code when the code is run, rather than beforehand.
  • Often used for short scripts over full computer programs.
  • Use interpreter to compile a code line by line.
  • Exp: JavaScript, Python,Ruby


//SL=PL, 但PL≠SL。最大区别是compiler,PL是直接整个code一起compile,SL是line by line。 *Compile:把code转换成电脑明白的语言

Authoring Tools

  • A program designed for use by a non-computer expert to create e-learning products
  • A programming language used to create tutorials, computer-based training courseware, websites, CD-ROMs, and other interactive computer programs.
  • An authoring system does not require programming knowledge to operate.
  • It allows the placement of graphics, text, and other multimedia elements into an e-learning program.
  • It functions like word-processing software.
  • Exp: HTML, XML

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Internet

  • A vast network that connects computers all over the world.
  • A global network of networks.
  • The biggest worldwide communication network of computers.
  • The global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices.
  • Through the Internet, people can share information and communicate from anywhere with an Internet connection.
  • Support human communication via social media, electronic mail (e-mail), “chat rooms,” newsgroups, and audio and video transmission
  • Support access to digital information by many applications, including the World Wide Web.

//Interenet是computer network的一种。用来连接设备(全球性)

World Wide Web (WWW)

  • Collection of information which is accessed via the Internet.
  • Combination of all resources and users on the Internet that are using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
  • A collection of websites or web pages stored in web servers and connected to local computers through the internet.
  • An information system where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs, such as https://example.com/), which may be interlinked by hyperlinks, and are accessible over the Internet.
  • The internet consists of supporting infrastructure and other technologies. In contrast, the Web is a communications model that, through HTTP, enables the exchange of information over the internet.
  • Also called 3W or Web

//3W≠Internet,3W更多像一个工具,Internet像渠道。

//百度解释:3W基于hypertext和HTTP的、全球性的、动态交互的、跨平台的分布式图形信息系统。是建立在Internet上的一种网络服务,为浏览者在Internet上查找和浏览信息提供了图形化的、易于访问的直观界面,其中的文档及hyperlink将Internet上的信息节点组织成一个互为关联的网状结构。

#Internet和3W不要弄乱,如果看不明白一定要去油管看相关影片解释。

#更多convergence的种类看:https://www.slideshare.net/nanakannan/ict-convergence-dr-nana-k-annan

#关于这个topic,我建议不要跟着我的,以学校的笔记为主。因为关于syllabus要的东西,我找的资料不是很相关。我推测information=media,computer=technological,所以还是以学校准备的笔记为主。

#Syllabus要的是evolution of ICT convergence in information(content), computer and communication. 

可以参考下曾经出过的问题:

Sem 1 2015 (U1 2014)



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
看到这里的朋友有没有开始对考试题目难度而担忧?居然那么多东西要记?!其实也不是....sem 1的考题范围大,但是问的也浅,所以与其背不如理解怎样运作会更重要。

很多时候考题会提出一个专业名词,然后让你用example去解释这个东西有什么用。所以,我认为sem 1最重要的技巧就是,懂得变通运用。只要明白题目要什么,我敢肯定你可以用自己的句子去答题,当然前提是你了解题目xD 

加上为了让大家能大致了解牵涉到的知识,我加了大量的额外知识,所以要跟着做笔记的朋友,不要完全抄哦,最好是把这个笔记作为你学校笔记的辅助(因为学校笔记通常不会那么仔细)

以上就是全部(应该)chapter 1的所有内容。
