Asynchronous just means 'not synchronised'.

So a telephone conversation is asynchronous communication because each party to the conversation can talk when they want, they are not synchronised to (for example) only talk for 10 seconds and then listen for 10 seconds!

'Synchronous communication' is like the old computer games and programs which were loaded by playing a cassette into the computer. The computer would wait for a 'start command' and an 'end command' and would be ready to receive any information sent in between the two commands, in other words the computer was synchronised with the cassette player during the time between the two commands.

What is the definition for Asynchronous communication?

In telecommunications, asynchronous communication is transmission of data, generally without the use of an external clock signal, where data can be transmitted intermittently rather than in a steady stream


What are the benefits and the disadvantages of each of the following Consider both the system level and the programmer level Synchronous and asynchronous communication?

Synchronous communication ensures data integrity and order but can lead to potential bottlenecks as both the sender and receiver must be available simultaneously. Asynchronous communication allows for greater flexibility and scalability but can be complex to implement due to potential data integrity and order issues. At the system level, synchronous communication is more deterministic and easier to manage, while asynchronous communication offers better performance and fault tolerance. At the programmer level, synchronous communication is simpler to implement and debug, while asynchronous communication requires more careful design and handling of potential race conditions.


What are the differences in synchronous communication and asynchronous communication?

AnswerSynchronous communication is direct communication where the communicators are time synchronized. This means that all parties involved in the communication are present at the same time. This includes, but is not limited to, a telephone conversation (not texting), a company board meeting, a chat room event and instant messaging. Asynchronous communication does not require that all parties involved in the communication to be present at the same time. Some examples are e-mail messages, discussion boards, blogging, and text messaging over cell phones. In distance (specifically online) education asynchronous communication is the major (sometimes the only) method of communication. Usually, we use different discussion boards in each class with each having its own purpose. Although all parties maybe present at the same time, they don't necessarily communicate in a synchronized fashion. Telephone conversations, board room converstions, and chat sessions are asynchronous in nature due to the fact that each participator can interrupt at any given moment which makes them inherently asynchronous.


What is asynchronous transmission?

An Asynchronous Communication is where there is 'variable bit rates' at the send and receive ends, in other words the send and receive clock generators are not synchronized as in a Synchronous Communication. Synchronous communication is direct communication where the communicators are time synchronized. This means that all parties involved in the communication are present at the same time. This includes, but is not limited to, a telephone conversation (not texting), a company board meeting, a chat room event and instant messaging.

Do you put a comma after yes if its in the beginning of a sentence?

Yes, a comma is typically used after "yes" when it begins a sentence, especially to separate it from the rest of the sentence. This helps to improve clarity in written communication.
