Abstract
All modern switching systems operate in the stored-program mode. This is because it is a technique which allows the relatively inexpensive accomplishment of complex call processing. The cost of the equipment to provide stored-program control is reducing due to the availability of low-cost electronic components. This is due to the development of techniques for large-scale integrated circuits. Unfortunately the cost of writing programs is not a function of material costs and hence this remains a major cost in the development, manufacturing, installing, and operating of stored-program-control switching systems.
