Sinopsis

The offices of GMD-FOKUS in Berlin provided the venue for a meeting in December 1987 which signalled the birth of the ARGOSI project. The proposal gradually took shape over the following months, and after merging with another project proposal in the field of standardization of computer graphics, finally received funding from the Esprit programme in March 1989. The project stemmed from a recognition of the importance of computer graphics a’i an ena­ bling technology in many application areas, and of the need to build bridges between computer graphics and telecommunications. The overall aims of the pro­ ject were twofold: • Advance the state of the art in the transfer of graphical information across international networks. • Improve quality and applicability of standards in this area. This book records the key results of the project and the contributions the project has made to standardization related to the transfer of graphical information across open networks. Contributions have included a demonstration of a prototype appli­ cation - a road transport information system running over public international of a new data networks - shown at the Esprit ’91 exhibition, the standardization FT AM document type allowing structured access to graphical information (represented according to the Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) standard) and major contributions to a mapping of the X-Windows protocol onto an OSI stack. The project also organized two international workshops. the first on Graphics and Communications, and the second on Distributed Window Systems.

Reseña del editor

This volume reports the results of ESPRIT project 2463 ARGOSI (Applications Related Graphics and OSI Standards Integration). The project ran from 1989 to 1992 and its objectives were to advance the state of the art in the transfer of graphical information across international networks and to improve the quality of standards in this area. The results of the projectpresented in this book include: - a classification scheme for applications in terms of their requirements for graphics and networking services; - an FTAM document type for CGM, which has been submitted for international standardization; - contributions to the development of a mapping of the X Windows protocol onto an OSI stack; - contributions to the development of an ASI.1 notation for CGM and issues associated with the generation of CGM encodings for this; - experience of using CGM and FTAMfor a prototype application running over public data networks. The book reports practical experience of an approach to the design and implementationof distributed applications using graphics and networking services in combination.
