Emulating conventional operator interfaces on window-based workstations

Emulating a Paragon XP/S on a Network of Workstations

Networks of workstations are gaining growing importance in high performance computing. Programming environments like MMK/X [Ste93] or PVM [BDG+91] allow for exploiting the aggregate computational power of coupled workstations. A different approach is to use such local area networks as a development platform for parallel applications which should finally run on multicomputer systems. Therefore a...

Trends and Evolution of Window Interfaces A Discussion on Interfaces and Interaction Techniques for Window Management

The Xerox Star, the first personal computer with a graphical user interface, was developed about twenty-five years ago. Seminal work on graphical interfaces even dates back to the 1960s. However, current techniques used for window management are merely variations of methods designed in the 1980s with very little improvements. Users are more and more confronted to the fact that the direct manipu...

Improving Window Switching Interfaces

We want to make a window switching interface where the most popular items are bigger, because big things are easier to hit. * SCOTZ means Spatially COnsistent Thumbnail Zones * It supports rapid switching to applications (by zones) and windows (by thumbnails) * It is shown full screen when you press a special function key * Repetitiveness: The more you use an item, the bigger it gets * Spatial ...

Radiologists' burden of inefficiency using conventional imaging workstations.

Document Analysis And Classification Based On Passing Window

In this paper we present Document analysis and classification system to segment and classify contents of Arabic document images. This system includes preprocessing, document segmentation, feature extraction and document classification. A document image is enhanced in the preprocessing by removing noise, binarization, and detecting and correcting image skew. In document segmentation, an algorith...
