Sudha Ram is currently an Assistant Professor of Management Information Systems at the University of Arizona. She received her Ph.D. in Management Information Systems from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in 1985. Dr. Ram has published in journals such as Communications of the ACM, Information Systems, Information Science, and Journal of Systems and Software. Her research interests are in the areas of distributed database and knowledge based systems, semantic modeling, automated tools for database design, and application of knowledge based systems in business. Her research in these areas has been funded by IBM, US Army, The National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Marketing Science Institute. In configuring the networks, the default parameters were used for Novell Netware. For IBM PC LAN, parameters were set to use 10K network buffers at both the server and user workstations, with four buffers on the server. Time slicing on the server was set as recommended for a dedicated server [14, p. 12–17]. One megabyte was used for caching.
