- TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION AT THE NEXT NETWORK WORKING GROUP MEETING
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Project MAC is planning a network graphics meeting to be held in
-
- April. It would be desirable to devote some portion of the February
-
- Urbana meeting to consideration of the length, format, structure and
-
- contents of the April meeting. Perhaps discussion on topics germane
-
- to network graphics can be started in an informal way at Urbana.
-
- Project MAC's present ideas about the length, structure, and
-
- format of the network graphics meeting are as follows:
-
- 1) The length of the meeting is expected to be two FULL days.
-
- 2) Each organization represented is expected to participate by
-
- presenting one or more working paper(s) on one or more of the areas
-
- chosen for discussion. The working paper(s) will minimally consist of
-
- a set of working notes and an oral presentation. Who presents the
-
- working paper for an organization, or how the labor is divided, is to
-
- be determined by the organization.
-
- 3) The bulk of the two full days is to be used for the prepared oral
-
- presentation with discussion after each presentation. About three
-
- hours at the end of the second day are reserved for open discussion.
-
- This three hour period is to be used for critiquing this meeting,
-
- planning the next one, and bidding for special assignments that
-
- participating organizations might wish to undertake as a contribution
-
- to the network graphics effort.
-

-
- Our ideas about content are:
-
- 1) A description of present or future graphical facilities that are or
-
- will be connected to the network, with a functional description of how
-
- they work or look (or might look) to a user (network user).
-
- 2) A functional description of a graphical facility one can envision
-
- or would like to see the network support.
-
- 3) Proposals on network graphic protocol, even proposal which are only
-
- intended to smoke out issues are acceptable.
-
- 4) A sharing of network graphic "Historic Moments." Description of
-
- your experiences in network graphics, what problems were encountered,
-
- how you solved or lived with them. What insight and understanding
-
- have you gained, what questions have been left unanswered by these
-
- experiences?
-
-
- The foregoing are our present ideas. If you have suggestions, please
-
- convey them to one of the people from your site attending the Urbana
-
- meeting so they can be discussed, or notify either Fran Yost or me of
-
- your suggestion by calling 617-864-6900-6026 or writing to:
-
- Miss F. Yost
- Project MAC/MIT
- 545 Technology Square, Room 830
- Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139
-
- I hope we can come away from the Urbana meeting with a firm concept of
-
- the April network graphic meeting.

-
- I would like to ask each participating organization to bring to
-
- the February meeting a list of its people who are actively engaged in
-
- graphics with facilities that are or will be on the network.
