Mr. R. Ogawa of NEC Corporation, Kawasaki, Japan, will
speak on ``Experimental System for Document Page Image
Filing and Communication''.
TIME: 3:30 PM
ROOM: MC 3008
ABSTRACT
An experimental image service system, which provides a
document page filing and communication service in a
high resolution image format, has been developed. In
designing the system architecture, emphasis has been
placed on its high speed access capability, the
response time to display an accessed image being within
a few seconds. Emphasis has been placed on the utili-
zation ease for users.
The system has been used in experimental service for
one year. As the result, the system response time has
proved to be essential for such image services to be
accepted. Common file service and data presentation
service in a meeting have been verified as suitable
application areas. Requirements to make useful per-
sonal filing service has been made clear.
In addition Mr. Ogawa will outline some research
activities within NEC.
Refreshments will be served at 3:00 PM.
