I'd appreciate receiving pointers to visualization software (either commercial or public domain) that is intended for C3-I applications. Thanks in advance.

Hmm, don't know exactly what you're doing, but you should check out DataViews from V.I. Corporation. You can reach them at (413) 253-3482 or vi@vicorp.uu.net. I pulled this from the NCD EXPORT Catalog of X window applications. If you find other commercially available packages, I would like to hear about them so I can get them in the catalog. To get a copy of the catalog send your request to info@ncd.com Mike Harrigan Network Computing Devices mikeh@ncd.com

You can reach them at (413) 253-3482 or >vi@vicorp.uu.net. Also check out PV~WAVE from Precision Visuals.... expensive. I saw DataViews demo'd at the last CMU SEI Affiliates symposium -- it looked really neat, but it's also quite expensive -- I recall the original poster is doing C3I, I guess he can afford it since we'll all end up paying for it through taxes. Since 3D graphics is just a hobby for me (not a part of my real job yet), I've been looking for a software platform that costs much much less than a new japanese sports-car... However ... Recently, I heard about apE 2.0 from the Ohio Supercomputer Center -- it's only $75.00 and it comes as source code that supposedly compiles a variety of computers (HP, Sun, SGI, DEC/Ultrix, IBM/Aix) and runs under Xwindows, SunView, and SGI's GL. I got a fax about this from someone that attended SIGGRAPH, and this gave a pointer to a bunch of papers (postscript format) on the environment. The address for retrieving this info via anonymous ftp is apE.osgp.osc.edu (128.146.18.18); e-mail is apE@apE.osgp.osc.edu; phone is (614)292-0006. Unfortunately, according to the README file on apE.osgp.osc.edu, apE 2.0 is not released yet because they delayed release to accomodate porting to the NeXT platform. Supposedly available real-soon-now. Has anybody used apE 2.0?? What's it like?? How's it work?? Is it a useable environment, or is it a laboratory curiosity?? I'm particularly interested in playing around with animation via a language-based graphics environment (4GL-ish). A grasp for X windows would do nicely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niels Mayer -- hplabs!mayer -- mayer@hplabs.hp.com Human-Computer Interaction Department Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Palo Alto, CA. *

I just returned from CaseWorld. Look at Virtual Prototypes, Inc. Eugene R. Joseph President Montreal, Quebec, Canada 514-483-4712 I haven't used this software, but from seeing it, I would guess that it can do much the same stuff that DataViews can. For the most part, thought, it seems to be targeted at simulating physical man-machine interfaces (like car dashboards, radios, etc.) Looked impressive. Also, definetly look at DataViews - V.I. Corp. (Sorry, I don't have their phone number handy). -------------- E. Mike Durbin Rich/Reuters Trading Room Systems emike@cpg.trs.reuter.com or uunet!richsun!emike
