Some Aspects of Satellite Graphics,
Abstract
The paper considers the spectrum of remote user stations with local processing ability, ranging from simple 'smart' terminals to nearly self-sufficient intelligent systems called satellites. The emphasis will be on the latter category, drawing on the authors' research on intelligent satellites for interactive graphics as a paradigm. The necessity of meeting a 'critical intelligence threshold' criterion for the satellite is stressed, and some difficult problems and potential solutions in the division of labor between host and satellite is examined.
