The small computer is driven by both graphical and conventional input/output devices. In this type of system it is extremely important that the communication line carry only messages with high information content, since low speed is one of the major system constraints. Thus, the design of the software system depends heavily on the communication support devices, as well as on the relative power of the computers.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117205730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most modern display equipment uses 10 bit digital to analog converters, providing for display in a 1024 by 1024 square raster. The actual resolution available is usually somewhat less since adjacent spots or lines will overlap. Even large-screen displays have limited resolution, for although they give a bigger picture, they also draw wider lines so that the amount of material which can appear at one time is still limited. Users of larger paper drawings have become accustomed to having a great deal of material presented at once. The computer display scope alone cannot serve the many tasks which require relatively large drawings with fine details.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130443094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These systems are often characterized by the requirement to provide user options in order to maintain the integrity of local procedures. Although there may be a strong effort at standardization throughout the system, the fact remains that the system must serve different levels of manufacturing, from components to end product, and must interface with a variety of personnel, from manufacturing line operator to management. Although a system such as this is normally required to fulfill a general set of needs, the system design cannot ignore local requirements. The end result can be a system consisting of numerous programs, many serving similar functions but each containing some distinctive feature.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124609924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
