Topology, Protocols, and Hardware Configuration When designing a LAN, before connecting all computers and related resources together, it must first bedetermined how they are connected, what kind of network protocols and network operating system are used tocontrol the network, and which networking services to be offered. The model network runs both TCP/IP andNetWare on its subnetworks. NetWare is an easy choice for a typical client-server model. Novell's NetWare running IPX protocol isone of the most widely used local area network (LAN) software in the business world.

As the pre-testdata also indicated, the two cohorts entered the course with a similar academic foundation.In addition, the distributions of the grades are shown in Figure 5, relative to the percentage ofstudents enrolled in the course. While the course assessments were non-standard, it is interestingto observe the difference in the overall distributions of the course grades. This differenceindicates that the inverted cohort resulted in more students achieving grades of A and A+.Table 5. Comparison of Prior Academic Performance and Final Course

The club was called the “CellularMatrix” as the main goal was to study cellular automata in Wolfram’s book A New Kind ofScience10. The interesting philosophical issues are associated with Wolfram’s conjecture that theuniverse should be understood in terms of simple computer programs.
