A few months ago, I sent out a request over fa.works for information and
opinions on window management systems. Only recently have I had time to
summarize the material in a form that does it justice. Thanks go to all
the people who sent material in. The summary is in two parts: a bibliography
and a compilation of "personal communications", contained in the next news
item. Here's the bibliography:
August 1981 issue of BYTE: articles on Smalltalk
March or April (not sure which) 1982 BYTE: article on The Xerox Star
Teitelman: Interlisp Programmer's Assistant, IEEE Computer, sometime in '81
Halbert: Programming by Example, Xerox Tech. Report/Stanford CS Dep't Report
Myers: Displaying Data Structures, Xerox Tech. Report
Latz & Rashid: paper in 7th Symp. on Operating System Principles (Dec 79)
???: "BRUWIN", in Proc. of the 8th SOSP (Dec 81)
1982 NCC Proceedings: article on the Star user interface (possibly that
which appeared in BYTE this year)
The papers by Halbert and Myers relate to the CEDAR Programming Environment
developed at Xerox. The SOSP Proceedings are published as issues of Operating
Systems Review, the ACM SIGOPS periodical.
