LINCS - the Livermore Interactive Network Communications Structure (or Standard or System) - is a hierarchy of communication protocols designed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and used by the Laboratory's Octopus computing network and the extension of that network called Labnet. Since meaningful communication requires some degree of commonality between the sender's and the receiver's view of their environment, LINCS defines salient features of that view. The view conforms to an underlying philosophy about the nature of computing and computer-oriented communication, aspects of which are discussed here. Further information about LINCS and a more extensive list of references may be found in an earlier paper.
