We are writing a review of multi-media interface systems. Any references you may have to hand would be gladly received. We have found very little so far, but will happily distribute any bibliography we can collate as a result of this request.

PLATO has had a graphics-intensive user interface for almost 30 years, and integrated mail systems are of potential interest to CERL at UIUC. I would be interested in knowing of other systems and publication references. Thank you. * reply to INTERNET: sam@ncsa.uiuc.edu, or BITNET: 11393@NCSAVMSA * * phone: (217) 333-1317 (office), (217) 244-0072 (leave a message) * Public Notes Response 7 of 22 to #16 8/3/89 1:41 am milosevich / s There has been a lot of work in "multi-media messaging" in research organizations. A significant PLATO development is the integrated Graphics G-notes/P-notes/E-mail/editor system implemented on the KTH PLATO system (in Sweden). KTH's utility is in use on the KTH and HAWAII PLATO systems and has been under examination on CERL PLATO for some time. Several other products are associated with non-PLATO sites. The MIT Media Lab is doing long-range research & planning. U.Michigan is involved with the NSF EXPRES project (along with BBN Labs, ArborText, Inc. and maybe also CMU) in their Cognitive Science and Machine Intelligence Laboratory. CMU presented its Andrew project at USENIX last year. CMU also remains very active in the ODA arena, implementing Toolkit interfaces to/from ODA (which is embodied in the ISO 8613 standard, I think). BBN also has SLATE (called DIAMOND on SUN's?). ISI has its experimental Multimedia Mail system. And,here are some E-mail contacts for multi-media messaging: Stig Bjorklund, KTH: stigb@com.qz.se, P185@QZCOM (BITNET),or stig bjorklund / visitors / cerl (PLATO) KTH Graphics System Gary Olson, U-Mich.: gmo@csmil.umich.edu CSMIL Technical Report 22 (1989) UM EXPRES, Tutorial & User's Guide (1988 & 1988) Jonathan Rosenberger, CMU: jr+@andrew.cmu.edu The Andrew Project (selected papers from USENIX-88) info on ODA Toolkits Ann Westine, ISI: westine@venera.isi.edu ISI Research Report ISI/RR-86-173 (1986) ISI Research Report ISI/RS-84-134 (1984) BBN Systems & Technologies: phone 617-873-3000 pbnotes / cerl 5/22/88 1:29 am milosevich / s / cerl The "KTH system" consists of three integrated parts: general notes ("conferences"), personal notes ("mail") and display authoring system. The common thread is graphics. Among many other differences, a conference note can contain graphics and the conference file format can be configured to facilitate using it as a more active portion of a lesson. The personal mail file is much like a conference file and features many configuration options and a different approach to mailing lists. pbnotes / cerl 7/17/88 11:10 pm milosevich / s / cerl * 88/05/27 2:29 pm stig bjorklund/p/cerl As a matter of fact our authoring system is much more than that. By using libraries of subroutines, which can be called as named objects from the graphics editor, one can tailor-make quite sophisticated environments. .............. pbnotes / cerl 5/22/88 1:29 am milosevich / s / cerl The "KTH system" consists of three integrated parts: general notes ("conferences"), personal notes ("mail") and display authoring system.
