Tutorial ID:  F-PEX
  Title: Programming Clients with the PEX Sample Implementation (PEX-SI)
  Time: 9:00am to 4:30pm
  Instructors: Marty Hess, PEX Sample Implementation Team,
				Sun Microsystems, Inc.
	       Tom Gaskins, Sound Software Development
	       Cheryl Huntington, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

  Abstract: X3D-PEX (PEX) is a network protocol extension to the X11 Window
  System.  PEX, the PHIGS and PHIGS PLUS Extension, adds three dimensional
  (3D) capability to X11.  PHIGS, the Programmers Hierarchical Interactive
  Graphics System, is an international standard for 3D graphics.  PHIGS PLUS
  is an extension to PHIGS being proposed in the international community to
  support additional features for lighting, shading, depth cueing, and
  advanced curve and surface primitives.  The PEX protocol extension to X11
  makes it possible to use standard programming interfaces to transmit 3D
  graphics efficiently across heterogeneous networks.

  In this course technical professionals who are either applications or
  graphics-system designers or developers will be introduced to the PEX
  protocol and the PHIGS/PHIGS PLUS Application Programming Interface (API) as
  they have been implemented by the PEX Sample Implementation (PEX-SI) Team at
  Sun Microsystems.  (The PEX-SI is intended to be distributed via the X
  Consortium sometime in 1991.)

  It is recommended that attendees be very familiar with the X11 Window
  System.  It is helpful if attendees are comfortable with the fundamentals of
  3D graphics, especially the existing PHIGS graphics standard, and the
  proposed PHIGS standard extensions, PHIGS PLUS, although these concepts will
  be covered somewhat.  There will also be several C language programming
  examples.

Tutorial ID:  F-INTERVIEWS
  Title: Programming with InterViews
  Time: 9:00am to 4:30pm
  Instructor: Paul Calder, Computer Systems Lab, Stanford University
  Abstract: InterViews is a true object-oriented toolkit for the X Window
  System that emphasizes composition as a way of building user interfaces.
  The toolkit supports composition of interactive objects (such as scroll bars
  and buttons) and graphics objects (such as labels, circles and polygons).
  InterViews is written in C++.

  This tutorial uses an example-driven approach to introduce the basic
  concepts of InterViews and demonstrate how actual applications are built.
  During the course of the tutorial, a simple InterViews-based application
  will be developed.  Attendees should be familiar with C, X, and basic
  object-oriented programming concepts.  Familiarity with C++ would be an
  advantage but is not required.

Tutorial ID:  F-OI
  Title: Writing X Applications Using the Object Interface (OI) Toolkit
  Time: 9:00am to 4:30pm
  Instructor: Gary Aitken, Solbourne Computers, Inc.
  Abstract: The OI toolkit is a C++ based toolkit for writing X11
  applications.  It has been licensed and is being distributed by AT&T.  Like
  other toolkits, OI provides a basic set of objects used in constructing a
  user interface.  Unlike other toolkits, these objects are generic in nature.
  The particular appearance and behavior of an object may be determined at
  execution time -- the same executable image may run under different
  interaction and appearance models.  OI currently supports Motif, and 2D and
  3D OPENLOOK.  Subclassing to produce user derived classes which work in all
  models is easy to accomplish.  In addition, the toolkit makes extensive use
  of the X resource manager for configuration information.  The tutorial is
  aimed at an audience already familiar with X and C++ programming in general.

Tutorial ID:  F-XVIEW
  Title: XView Programming
  Time: 9:00am to 4:30pm
  Instructors: Tom Jacobs, Chris Kasso, Darren Austin
	       XView Engineering Team, Sun Microsystems
  Abstract: XView is a user-interface toolkit designed to support interactive,
  graphics-based applications running under the X Window System and the OPEN
  LOOK (tm) Graphical User Interface.  This tutorial will be presented in two
  separate sections.  The first half of the tutorial (morning section) will
  provide a high level introduction to the XView toolkit covering such topics
  as the XView system model, using devGUIDE and some basic programming
  examples.  The second half of the tutorial (afternoon section) will provide
  a more in depth look at XView in the areas of using the notifier, writing
  extensions, internationalization issues, access to displaying PostScript,
  "drag and drop", handling selections, using OPEN LOOK Virtual Keyboards and
  Soft Function Keys, providing Mouseless operation and other more complex
  programming examples.

Tutorial ID:  A-WIDGETS
  Title: Widget Internals:  How to Understand and Write Simple Widgets
  Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
  Instructors: Ralph R. Swick, Digital Equipment Corporation/MIT Project Athena
	       Mark S. Ackerman, MIT Center for Coordination Science
  Abstract: This tutorial is intended to help people read and understand
  widget source code.  This skill is useful when trying to interpret
  documentation, to find bugs in applications, and to customize widget
  behavior (aka subclassing).  This tutorial should be a good "add-on" to
  Motif and OpenLook widget tutorials, since it will help people understand
  what is behind the GUI components.

  The audience is expected to have some familiarity with applications
  programming using any one of the available Intrinsics-based widget sets.
  The material will be appropriate to all such widget sets.  Knowledge of C is
  presumed.

  Coverage: Widget data structures, necessary methods, code structure, actions
  and translations, resource data structures, selections, converters,
  compounds, when and how methods are called

Tutorial ID:  A-TAE
  Title: TAE Plus: An application development tool used to design and
		   manage GUIs
  Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
  Instructors: Martha R. Szczur, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
	       Ken Sall, Century Computing, Inc.
	       Leif Neve, Century Computing, Inc.
  Abstract: The Transportable Applications Environment (TAE) Plus is a
  portable software development package created at NASA's Goddard Space Flight
  Center to support the rapid building, tailoring and management of
  graphic-oriented application user interfaces.  This tutorial will provide
  an introduction to the main components and functionality of TAE Plus.  The
  main components include (1) the WorkBench, an intuitive What You See Is What
  You Get (WYSIWYG) tool that supports the design and layout of an
  application's user interface, (2) the WorkBench-generated source code
  template and resource files, and (3) a set of application program callable
  subroutines used to control an application's user interface during runtime.
  The first part of the tutorial will describe how the application user
  interface designer, who is not required to be a programmer, uses the
  WorkBench to interactively construct the layout of an application's user
  dialogue and manipulate a set of "interaction objects".  These objects
  include user-entry objects and information objects (e.g., radio buttons,
  check boxes, text entry fields, bother boxes), and data-driven objects,
  which are used to support realtime data-oriented applications (e.g., dials,
  thermometers, strip charts).  The second part of the tutorial will discuss
  the content of the WorkBench generated C application with examples used to
  describe how a programmer dynamically updates a user interface. The tutorial
  will wrap up with a discussion of how TAE Plus uses and interrelates with
  the X Window System and OSF's Motif.

Tutorial ID:  A-ADA
  Title: The STARS Ada X Interface
  Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
  Instructors: Robert C. Smith, Jr., Unisys, Mark A. Nelson, SAIC
  Abstract: The STARS program, funded by DARPA, has produced Ada bindings to
  Xlib, Ada implementations of the Xt Intrinsics, and a widget set composed of
  some Athena and HP widgets.  Recent cooperative efforts by SAIC and Unisys
  have produced updated X11R4 Xlib bindings and a STARS standard X11R3 Xt
  Intrinsics Ada specification.  This tutorial will describe the new X11R4 Ada
  application programming interface to Xlib, and an in depth look at the Ada
  Xt Intrinsics and Widget development.  This is intended for new users of the
  STARS Ada binding, and for users who may want to migrate existing Ada
  applications to X11R4.  For those preferring to write applications using an
  Ada Intrinsics interface, the STARS specification for an X11R3 Ada
  Intrinsics and a sample widget set will be presented.  The Intrinsics
  interface will be presented from both application and widget programming
  perspectives. Development of new widgets and extensions of the existing
  sample widget set will also be presented.  This tutorial assumes some prior
  knowledge of X, and will focus on application interfaces to Ada/Xlib and the
  Ada/Xt Toolkit, rather than presenting the basics of writing X based
  applications.

Tutorial ID:  A-COLOR
  Title: Device Independent Color and TekCMS
  Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
  Instructor: Joann Taylor, Al Tabayoyon, Tektronix Inc.
  Abstract: Topics to be covered are Device-Independent Color Spaces
  (including evolution of color spaces, colorimetry and objective color
  definition, and advantages and disadvantages of various spaces), Color
  Rendering (white points, color matching, gamut compression, color
  management), TekCMS (what it is, history, architecture, how to use it),
  TekColor Editor (what it is, how to use it), and example applications
  (window dump, color matching, printing).

Tutorial ID:  A-ICCCM
  Title: Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual and X.V11R4 ICCC Changes
  Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
  Instructor: Glenn Widener, Network Displays Division, Tektronix Inc.
  Abstract: The intended audience for this tutorial is intermediate Xlib and
  toolkit programmers who want to understand the rules for writing
  interoperable X11 clients using the Inter-Client Communication Conventions:
  how to exchange data with another client using selections, and how to
  properly interact with X system clients (window and session managers).
  Attendees should have done at least some Xlib programming.

Tutorial ID:  P-WCL
  Title: The Widget Creation Library:
	 An Easier Way to Develop Widget Based Applications
  Time: 1:30pm to 4:30pm
  Instructor: David E. Smyth, Jet Propulsion Labs
  Abstract: Presents an approach to developing X applications relatively
  quickly, easily, and cheaply, with the resultant applications being
  extremely flexible.  Presents the Widget Creation Library, two simple
  resource file interpreters (Mri and Ari), and proven techniques for
  Object-Oriented programming using C.  The tutorial includes many, many
  examples taken from actual applications built using the Widget Creation
  Library.

Tutorial ID:  P-SERVER
  Title: X Sample Server Internals
  Time: 1:30pm to 4:30pm
  Instructor: Keith Packard, MIT X Consortium
  Abstract: This tutorial will cover in some detail the internal workings of
  the sample server.  Particular emphasis will be placed on porting the server
  to new machines, writing extensions and the interface changes which took
  place between R3 and R4.  Release 4 offers a wide range of interesting
  optimizations which will be discussed, both from a practical perspective of
  their impact on various interfaces, and from a performance perspective.
  Finally, a discussion on the impact of X on hardware design will be
  included, in the vain hope that software engineers will be able to impact
  their hardware environment.

Tutorial ID:  P-DPS
  Title: Programming with the Display PostScript Extension to X
  Time: 1:30pm to 4:30pm
  Instructor: Paul J. Asente, Adobe Systems, Inc.
  Abstract: The Display PostScript Extension to X, or DPS/X, is an extension
  that allows a program to image into an X window using the PostScript
  language.  Using the PostScript language for imaging brings true WYSIWYG to
  the screen by integrating the display with the printers that will ultimately
  be used to print documents.  The PostScript imaging model fills many holes
  in the X model, providing Bezier curves, scalable outline fonts,
  manipulation of scanned images, resolution independence, and portability
  among displays with different color capabilities.

  The tutorial covers the following topics:
    - An overview of the PostScript imaging model, concentrating on the
      capabilities it provides that are missing in X.
    - How to program with the DPS/X client library and with "wraps,"
      PostScript language procedures callable from the application and 
      executed within the extension.
    - Using DPS/X to achieve portability and resolution independence.
    - Some of the extensions made to the PostScript language for the
      display environment.
    - Setting coordinate systems and mapping among them.
    - How to combine PostScript imaging and X imaging in the same window
      to achieve animation and smooth dragging.

Tutorial ID: P-OLIT
  Title: Programming with the AT&T OPEN LOOK Toolkit
  Time: 1:30pm to 4:30pm
  Instructors: Rick Thomas, Unix Systems Laboratories
	       Amy Moore, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
  Abstract: This tutorial is for C programmers who want to learn how to take
  advantage of the features in the OPEN LOOK graphical user interface using
  AT&T's OPEN LOOK Release4.0 toolkit, also known as the OPEN LOOK Intrinsics
  Toolkit (OLIT) on the Sun platform.  The objectives of this tutorial are for
  the attendee to understand:
   o the OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface user/programmer environment:
        - as provided in AT&T's OPEN LOOK Release 4.0
        - as provided in Sun Microsystem's OPEN WINDOWS Version 2
   o how to create applications using OPEN LOOK widgets
   o how to improve application perfomance using OPENLOOK flattened widgets
   o how to create resolution-independant applications
   o how to interact with the "standard" OPEN LOOK clients
        - File Manager (olfm)
        - Window Manager (olwm)
        - Workspace Manager (olwsm)
  It is recommended that attendees be familiar with the X11 Window system.
  Although not required, it would also be helpful to have basic Intrinsics
  programming knowledge.


VIDEO SESSION, Monday, 8:00pm to 10:00pm

Many concepts, techniques, and applications can be better presented with a
video than a technical paper or live demonstration.  Video is also useful for
showing an idea that has not been implemented or the user interface evaluation
process.  Attendees are invited to bring a technical videotape for this
session.  It should be no longer than 12 minutes, in 1/2 inch VHS or 3/4"
Umatic formats (no PAL encodings).  To show your video, you need only sign up
for the session.  Videos will be shown in order of sign up.  To sign up in
advance, send details to xconference@expo.lcs.mit.edu.  As with the rest of
the conference, this is to be strictly a technical presentation.  Product
demonstrations should offer substantial technical content of interest to the X
programmer or user.  Demonstrations of new concepts, features, or other
original ideas heretofore unannounced or unseen by the general technical
community are especially welcome.  Interesting applications and
work-in-progress from the academic/research community are also encouraged.
Elaborate production values are not expected; a simple video with clear
exposition of its technical content is far more important.


BOFS (Birds of a Feather Sessions)

BOFS will be held on Monday from 4:45pm to 6:15pm, on Tuesday from 8:00pm to
9:30pm, and on Wednesday from 5:00pm to 6:30pm.  The schedule of BOFS for each
day will be made available at the conference.
