Research in Distributed Personal Computer-Based Information Systems. Volume 2

Abstract

The primary focus of the personal computer task area is the development of an electronic message system called Diamond, which will run in a distributed personal computer environment. The message system will: support a user interface that exploits the capabilities of advanced single-user computers, handle messages that contain data other than text, have a distributed architecture, operate in a secure fashion, permit use from a variety of user access points, and have a transportable implementation. Section 2 discusses work on the Diamond multimedia message system and related activities. Work in Jade, the Jericho Pascal operating system, is described in Section 3. Section 4 presents our activities related to the development of the Jade programming environment. Work on the Interlisp system for the Jericho computer is described in Section 5. Section 6 discusses our work of Aleph. Section 7 describes recent Hermes maintenance activity.
