Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much for taking time out from the parties to join us for one of the peripheral activities of SIGGRAPH. As you know, the panel that we're going to be holding this afternoon is entitled the Multi-Media Workstation. Before I make some introductory remarks, I am required to make some administrative remarks. The first thing is to remind you that the proceedings of all of the panels are being audio taped this year for subsequent transcription and publication. What that means, is that when we have the audience interaction, please come to the microphones that are scattered around the floor to make your remarks. Otherwise, I won't be able to recognize you. The second thing I want to mention to you is that when we're done at 5:15 we are going to vacate the stage. We're going to vacate the room so the AV people can lock up. If you want to continue discussion with us, there's a breakout room that's been set aside, Salon J, which is down around the corner. So join us there please, because we'll be scooting out of here right away. Finally, I need to tell you that the --- for those of you who are involved --- the Pioneers Reception will be held between 6:00 and 9:00 at the Computer Museum this evening, and buses will leave from the Boylston Street exit of the Convention Center at 5:00, 5:30 and 6:00. Absolutely no video or audio taping allowed at the Pioneers. You don't want to hear any of those old reminiscences repeated. Let's get on with the business of the afternoon. Multi-Media Workstations. A couple of preliminary remarks that I think all of my colleagues up here will agree with. The things that we're going to be discussing this afternoon do not represent fundamentally new technologies. You've been able to buy add-in video cards and audio devices for personal computers and workstations for some years now. What we are going to be addressing is a confluence of many technologies --- hardware and software --- that has finally made it possible to envision a fully integrated system that will incorporate all of these multi-media capabilities. So we're giving you a vision of maybe not what you're seeing at this year's SIGGRAPH, but certainly a SIGGRAPH or two from now, I can confidently predict that you're going to be seeing workstations that incorporate the kinds of capabilities that you'll hear discussed this afternoon. I should also emphasize that we are not here to give the kind of a presentation that you might expect from a group of folks --- from the Media Lab or from Xerox PARC who are going to tell you about some of the far-out kinds of things that they're working on. I emphasize again the technologies that are being described this afternoon are almost here and now, and will soon be available to you. Now let me make some comments about how in my particular environment I came to be interested in the concept of a multi-media workstation. I think each of us will probably have different stories to tell abou

J. Grayson, C. Espinosa, M. Dunsmuir, Mike Edwards, B. Tribble
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of myself and the panelists and SIGGRAPH, I'd like to welcome each of you to our session this afternoon. This afternoon we're going to be talking about operating systems and graphics user interfaces. Of course, I'm the panel chairperson. My name -- J. Paul Grayson, the chairman and CEO of Micrografx, and I feel very fortunate this afternoon to have a number of distinguished speakers here with me. I'd like to briefly introduce each one of those. As you're probably aware from looking at the program, there have been some last minute changes in the speakers. But I think we're very fortunate to have a number of unique and talented individuals with us this afternoon. So I feel very good about the speakers that we have. The first speaker this afternoon is Chris Espinosa, who is a technical consultant at Apple, but I think that description really doesn't do Chris justice at all. Many of you are aware that Chris has been in the personal computer business about as long as it has existed. He was one of the original members of the Home Brew Computer Club, was actually employee number eight at Apple Computer, and is now the most senior employee at Apple Computer. While at Apple he's had a number of significant accomplishments. He was originally responsible for the Apple II, was on the original Macintosh development team, was the author of the Macintosh user interface specifications, and has also been the product manager for Hypercard. The second speaker today will be Martin Dunsmuir, who is the director of Presentation Manager development for Microsoft. Martin has been with Microsoft for approximately four years. He is from the U.K., from Britain. So you may notice a slight accent. He was previously the director of Zenix Development for Microsoft. He was responsible for Zenix 386. He is also responsible for PMX, was part of the technical team that sold the PM behavior, the PM user interface to the OSF Motif Group, and has been the OS/2 Presentation Manager director since about March. The third speaker changed so recently I didn't have a chance to update his slide. So rather than Tommy Steele today, from IBM we have Dr. Mike Edwards. Mike is a software engineer in the PM technical office. He's been on assignment in Boca Raton for approximately 18 months, having originally been in Hursley as a Hursley PM developer, and I think he was planning on going back to Hursley in the next few days and got called in to do this. So I think his wife had to take care of some of the business, like selling the car and the house, while he came to Boston. Mike also has a very interesting background. He got into graphics while he was a student at Birmingham University in England, and he was part of a team of people that won a Nobel Prize in 1983 for particle physics. And I hope you'll hold your questions about particle physics until after the presentation is over. The last speaker today is also a very distinguished gentleman. Guy or

I'm Rachel Carpenter, and this mike seems to be really alive.The films that you've been watching on the screen are from the Animation Screening Room, which is really hot this year. We've got a lot of wonderful pieces. It's in the Sheraton, just as you walk in from the Hines, and you'll see signs there. There are three viewing environments. Right at the beginning, there is a cafe environment where you can sit down with food and just watch things. There's a room next to it with monitors and then there's a large room with rear projection, large screen, lots of seats. There are schedules available. At any time you can watch two different things. I decided to put this panel together when I was working at a computer graphics school for artists and designers. People were always asking, "Well, where are the jobs? What kind of work is there, and why should I bother with computers?" So I got these people together who have been in the business, in various aspects, for many years, and have found their own way. They will tell you their stories and give you an idea of how to look for things. There are some very specific ideas. Other people seem to have been having the same thoughts because the education committee put together this wonderful Volume 23, Careers Handbook, and I suggest that you get it. It's in the education booth as you come into the Hines, there are all those booths --- well, the one on the end, toward the entrance, is called Space, they have up the student artwork. Volume 23 has categories of different kinds of jobs, career profiles, colleges and universities which are organized by topic first, if it's art and design or engineering or other types of signs or medical or whatever, and then by state. Then they have about the job search process. There's also a questionnaire at the end, which the people who put this together really urge everyone to fill out the questionnaire and send it in. It's a tremendous amount of information. They are available at the booth or you can call up ACM and order one. It's Volume 23. I also want to tell you about another really good opportunity for artists. I happen to be the United States Representative for Prix Ars Electronica; it's a competition in Austria for computer art, animation & music. They have significant cash prizes. So if you're interested in entering that after this is over, give me your address and I'll see that you get entry forms for that. You can also call me in California at 415-892-8254. Also, you've seen a lot of things while you've been here at SIGGRAPH and I want to let you know that everybody can participate. I started going to SIGGRAPH in 1980 when it was in Seattle. I'm not sure quite how many people were there then, but it was probably something like 17,000, and when I was SIGGRAPH '85 Art Show administrator in San Francisco, there were 27,000 people attending the conference. It keeps on growing because people are interested and because the industry is growing. You can contribute too. If yo

I am Jan Hurst; welcome to Retrospectives. In early 1988, SIGGRAPH funded a project which was called Milestones, the History of Computer Graphics. We believed it was important to capture the early history since the graphics of tomorrow continues to build upon its past. We established goals, and one result was to begin a series of retrospectives which focus on specific aspects of the industry. Boston seemed like the perfect opportunity to focus on MIT, Lincoln Lab, and Harvard.I hope that you will get a sense from the pioneers as to what graphics was like in its infancy in Boston. I hope that you will enjoy hearing about their experiences as I have. They have been absolutely charming and inspirational to work with, and I'd like to thank all of them at this time.The speakers have many things to share with you, so I will be brief. I want to thank SIGGRAPH for supporting and encouraging this project and I want to thank the Pioneers for their willingness to share their experiences and their knowledge with all of us.I want to introduce you to Michael S. Mahoney, who will act as the moderator for the retrospectives. Mike is a professor at Princeton, he is in the program in the History of Science, he is editor of the ACM History Series, and he is a distinguished member of the Milestone Advisory Committee. Mike.
我是简·赫斯特;欢迎参加回顾会议。1988年初,SIGGRAPH资助了一个名为“里程碑——计算机图形学的历史”的项目。我们认为捕捉早期历史非常重要,因为未来的图像将继续建立在过去的基础上。我们制定了目标,其中一个结果是开始了一系列的回顾,重点关注行业的特定方面。波士顿似乎是专注于麻省理工学院、林肯实验室和哈佛大学的绝佳机会。我希望你们能从拓荒者那里了解到图像在波士顿的雏形。我希望你们能像我一样喜欢听他们的经历。和他们一起工作绝对是迷人的,鼓舞人心的,我想在这个时候感谢他们所有人。演讲者有很多事情要与你们分享,所以我将简短地说。我要感谢SIGGRAPH对这个项目的支持和鼓励,我要感谢先驱者们愿意与我们所有人分享他们的经验和知识。我想向大家介绍Michael S. Mahoney,他将担任回顾会议的主持人。迈克是普林斯顿大学的教授,他是科学史项目的一员,他是美国计算机协会历史系列的编辑,他是里程碑咨询委员会的杰出成员。迈克。

我是简·赫斯特;欢迎参加回顾会议。1988年初,SIGGRAPH资助了一个名为“里程碑——计算机图形学的历史”的项目。我们认为捕捉早期历史非常重要,因为未来的图像将继续建立在过去的基础上。我们制定了目标,其中一个结果是开始了一系列的回顾,重点关注行业的特定方面。波士顿似乎是专注于麻省理工学院、林肯实验室和哈佛大学的绝佳机会。我希望你们能从拓荒者那里了解到图像在波士顿的雏形。我希望你们能像我一样喜欢听他们的经历。和他们一起工作绝对是迷人的,鼓舞人心的,我想在这个时候感谢他们所有人。演讲者有很多事情要与你们分享,所以我将简短地说。我要感谢SIGGRAPH对这个项目的支持和鼓励,我要感谢先驱者们愿意与我们所有人分享他们的经验和知识。我想向大家介绍Michael S. Mahoney,他将担任回顾会议的主持人。迈克是普林斯顿大学的教授,他是科学史项目的一员,他是美国计算机协会历史系列的编辑,他是里程碑咨询委员会的杰出成员。迈克。

In early 1988, SIGGRAPH funded a project which was called Milestones, the History of Computer Graphics. We believed it was important to capture the early history since the graphics of tomorrow continues to build upon its past. We established goals, and one result was to begin a series of retrospectives which focus on specific aspects of the industry. Boston seemed like the perfect opportunity to focus on MIT, Lincoln Lab, and Harvard.I hope that you will get a sense from the pioneers as to what graphics was like in its infancy in Boston. I hope that you will enjoy hearing about their experiences as I have. They have been absolutely charming and inspirational to work with, and I'd like to thank all of them at this time.The speakers have many things to share with you, so I will be brief.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the panel entitled Distributed Graphics: Where to Draw the Lines? My name is Dick Phillips. I'm from Los Alamos National Laboratory and I'll be your chair this session. I'll be joined by a great group of panelists --- friends and colleagues all. Our second speaker following me will be Michael Pique from Scripps Clinic. Following him will be Cleve Moler from Ardent Computer. After Cleve we'll hear from Jay Torborg who is associated with Alliant Computer. And batting in the clean-up position is going to be Don Greenberg from Cornell University. I have to give you one administrative announcement. You probably know this by now if you've been attending panel sessions all week. But once again, these proceedings are being audio taped for subsequent transcription and publication. That means that when we open up the session for question and answer, which will be in another 30 or 40 minutes, if you would like to ask a question, you must come to one of the microphones that's situated in the aisles. They are just about in every aisle, part way back and close to the front. And to be recognized, please state your name and affiliation, and I'll remind you of that when we get into the question and answer session. The title of our panel begs a question --- where to draw the lines. Well, the trivial answer to that question is obviously on the display that you have available. The real implication of that title was where to draw the lines of demarcation for graphics processing. You're going to hear from me and from my other panelists several different points of view. Just when you thought everything was settling down and it was clear that all graphics processing was moving out to workstations or graphic supercomputers, you're going to hear at least two different points of view that may sound a bit nostalgic. Let me take you back in time just a bit, and this is a greatly oversimplified graphics time line --- where we have been and where we are and where we're going in the evolution of visualization capability. I'm not going to dwell too much on the part of this time line to the left. We're really interested in what's up at the right hand side. But I can't resist pointing out that back in the days which I have labeled pre-history here, a lot of us can remember getting excited about seeing output in the form of a printer plot, thinking that we were doing visualization and that that was really computer graphics. And I for one can remember the first time I had 300 band available to me on a storage tube terminal and I thought this is blazing speed. I cannot believe what kind of graphics capability I have got now. Where things really get interesting though, if you move along that time line to the right, up into the mid 1980s, I have put some I think seminal events on there --- Silicon Graphics introducing the geometry engine in the workstation. Well, workstations in general. That was a real watershed event that has changed the

Good morning. My name is Linnea Cook from Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. This session is a panel session on hardware and software solutions for scientific visualization that are being pursued at some of the large research laboratories in the United States. This panel originated because I saw and other people at Los Alamos saw that we were pursuing different avenues of -- and quite vehemently -- pursuing different avenues of meeting our graphics needs. In Livermore in particular there was real strife for several years over graphics terminals versus graphics workstations. I thought that other people may benefit from seeing why people are pursuing some of the solutions that they are.Today there are five of us who are going to discuss a little bit about what the environment is that we work in and what we're each doing to solve the graphic needs in our environments, and also why we think our solution is the best.Each panelist is going to and make an eight to 10 minute statement to that effect. I will give each panelist a complete introduction when they get up to speak.I suppose I should tell you a little bit about who I am before we get started. My background is in math and computer science. I have a BS/MS in that, and I am currently a group leader for one of the computer science groups that supports one of our large physics divisions at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Part of the work we do is to support our physicists with good computer graphics and I have been leading the graphics workstation effort for my group.Our first panelist to speak is Gordon Bancroft. He is from NASA Ames and he has a BS in aeronautics. He's been at NASA for six years, and is currently task manager of workstation applications, as part of the fluid dynamics division. He's involved in the creation of applications for visualization of fluid dynamic simulation. He has been involved in some of the procurement that NASA has been doing. Gordon.
