DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO SEMINAR ACTIVITIES OFFICE AUTOMATION AND DATA BASES COLLOQUIUM - Tuesday, December 10, 1985. 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.
