[comp.software-eng] reposted Survey- Please help!

cole@cica.cica.indiana.edu (Robert Cole) (11/15/89)

This is a repost of a message which only went out on comp.graphics
So far I've only received one response (which was excellent!) and
two messages from SIGGRAPH committee members expressing interest
in the survey results.  If you are associated with a Center such 
as below or have contacts at such centers, please see that this
gets into appropriate hands so that we can get a good selection
of answers.  Thanks!

****************************************************

CICA is the Center for Innovative Computer Applications at Indiana
University.  As a special projects organization for the Office of
University Computing, CICA has begun a two year commitment to usage
of high-end graphics in the various sciences (such as Chemistry, 
Geology, Astronomy, Computer Science, Mathematics) and other 
disciplines such as Fine Arts and Theatre at Indiana.

We are in the process of evaluating our existence in relation
to other special university computing centers and trying to 
determine what it is that is needed for success as a nationally
recognized center.
