Tutorial ID: F-PEX
Title: Programming Clients with the PEX Sample Implementation (PEX-SI)
Time: 9:00am to 4:30pm
Instructors: Marty Hess, PEX Sample Implementation Team,
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Tom Gaskins, Sound Software Development
Cheryl Huntington, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Abstract: X3D-PEX (PEX) is a network protocol extension to the X11 Window
System. PEX, the PHIGS and PHIGS PLUS Extension, adds three dimensional
(3D) capability to X11. PHIGS, the Programmers Hierarchical Interactive
Graphics System, is an international standard for 3D graphics. PHIGS PLUS
is an extension to PHIGS being proposed in the international community to
support additional features for lighting, shading, depth cueing, and
advanced curve and surface primitives. The PEX protocol extension to X11
makes it possible to use standard programming interfaces to transmit 3D
graphics efficiently across heterogeneous networks.

In this course technical professionals who are either applications or
graphics-system designers or developers will be introduced to the PEX
protocol and the PHIGS/PHIGS PLUS Application Programming Interface (API) as
they have been implemented by the PEX Sample Implementation (PEX-SI) Team at
Sun Microsystems. (The PEX-SI is intended to be distributed via the X
Consortium sometime in 1991.)

It is recommended that attendees be very familiar with the X11 Window
System. It is helpful if attendees are comfortable with the fundamentals of
3D graphics, especially the existing PHIGS graphics standard, and the
proposed PHIGS standard extensions, PHIGS PLUS, although these concepts will
be covered somewhat. There will also be several C language programming
examples.

Tutorial ID: F-INTERVIEWS
Title: Programming with InterViews
Time: 9:00am to 4:30pm
Instructor: Paul Calder, Computer Systems Lab, Stanford University
Abstract: InterViews is a true object-oriented toolkit for the X Window
System that emphasizes composition as a way of building user interfaces.
The toolkit supports composition of interactive objects (such as scroll bars
and buttons) and graphics objects (such as labels, circles and polygons).
InterViews is written in C++.

This tutorial uses an example-driven approach to introduce the basic
concepts of InterViews and demonstrate how actual applications are built.
During the course of the tutorial, a simple InterViews-based application
will be developed. Attendees should be familiar with C, X, and basic
object-oriented programming concepts. Familiarity with C++ would be an
advantage but is not required.

Tutorial ID: F-OI
Title: Writing X Applications Using the Object Interface (OI) Toolkit
Time: 9:00am to 4:30pm
Instructor: Gary Aitken, Solbourne Computers, Inc.
Abstract: The OI toolkit is a C++ based toolkit for writing X11
applications. It has been licensed and is being distributed by AT&T. Like
other toolkits, OI provides a basic set of objects used in constructing a
user interface. Unlike other toolkits, these objects are generic in nature.
The particular appearance and behavior of an object may be determined at
execution time -- the same executable image may run under different
interaction and appearance models. OI currently supports Motif, and 2D and
3D OPENLOOK. Subclassing to produce user derived classes which work in all
models is easy to accomplish. In addition, the toolkit makes extensive use
of the X resource manager for configuration information. The tutorial is
aimed at an audience already familiar with X and C++ programming in general.

Tutorial ID: F-XVIEW
Title: XView Programming
Time: 9:00am to 4:30pm
Instructors: Tom Jacobs, Chris Kasso, Darren Austin
XView Engineering Team, Sun Microsystems
Abstract: XView is a user-interface toolkit designed to support interactive,
graphics-based applications running under the X Window System and the OPEN
LOOK (tm) Graphical User Interface. This tutorial will be presented in two
separate sections. The first half of the tutorial (morning section) will
provide a high level introduction to the XView toolkit covering such topics
as the XView system model, using devGUIDE and some basic programming
examples. The second half of the tutorial (afternoon section) will provide
a more in depth look at XView in the areas of using the notifier, writing
extensions, internationalization issues, access to displaying PostScript,
"drag and drop", handling selections, using OPEN LOOK Virtual Keyboards and
Soft Function Keys, providing Mouseless operation and other more complex
programming examples.

Tutorial ID: A-WIDGETS
Title: Widget Internals: How to Understand and Write Simple Widgets
Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
Instructors: Ralph R. Swick, Digital Equipment Corporation/MIT Project Athena
Mark S. Ackerman, MIT Center for Coordination Science
Abstract: This tutorial is intended to help people read and understand
widget source code. This skill is useful when trying to interpret
documentation, to find bugs in applications, and to customize widget
behavior (aka subclassing). This tutorial should be a good "add-on" to
Motif and OpenLook widget tutorials, since it will help people understand
what is behind the GUI components.

The audience is expected to have some familiarity with applications
programming using any one of the available Intrinsics-based widget sets.
The material will be appropriate to all such widget sets. Knowledge of C is
presumed.

Coverage: Widget data structures, necessary methods, code structure, actions
and translations, resource data structures, selections, converters,
compounds, when and how methods are called

Tutorial ID: A-TAE
Title: TAE Plus: An application development tool used to design and
manage GUIs
Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
Instructors: Martha R. Szczur, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
Ken Sall, Century Computing, Inc.
Leif Neve, Century Computing, Inc.
Abstract: The Transportable Applications Environment (TAE) Plus is a
portable software development package created at NASA's Goddard Space Flight
Center to support the rapid building, tailoring and management of
graphic-oriented application user interfaces. This tutorial will provide
an introduction to the main components and functionality of TAE Plus. The
main components include (1) the WorkBench, an intuitive What You See Is What
You Get (WYSIWYG) tool that supports the design and layout of an
application's user interface, (2) the WorkBench-generated source code
template and resource files, and (3) a set of application program callable
subroutines used to control an application's user interface during runtime.
The first part of the tutorial will describe how the application user
interface designer, who is not required to be a programmer, uses the
WorkBench to interactively construct the layout of an application's user
dialogue and manipulate a set of "interaction objects". These objects
include user-entry objects and information objects (e.g., radio buttons,
check boxes, text entry fields, bother boxes), and data-driven objects,
which are used to support realtime data-oriented applications (e.g., dials,
thermometers, strip charts). The second part of the tutorial will discuss
the content of the WorkBench generated C application with examples used to
describe how a programmer dynamically updates a user interface. The tutorial
will wrap up with a discussion of how TAE Plus uses and interrelates with
the X Window System and OSF's Motif.

Tutorial ID: A-ADA
Title: The STARS Ada X Interface
Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
Instructor: Robert C. Smith, Jr., Unisys
Abstract: The STARS program, funded by DARPA, has produced Ada bindings to
Xlib, Ada implementations of the Xt Intrinsics, and a widget set composed of
some Athena and HP widgets. Recent cooperative efforts by SAIC and Unisys
have produced updated X11R4 Xlib bindings and a STARS standard X11R3 Xt
Intrinsics Ada specification. This tutorial will describe the new X11R4 Ada
application programming interface to Xlib, and an in depth look at the Ada
Xt Intrinsics and Widget development. This is intended for new users of the
STARS Ada binding, and for users who may want to migrate existing Ada
applications to X11R4. For those preferring to write applications using an
Ada Intrinsics interface, the STARS specification for an X11R3 Ada
Intrinsics and a sample widget set will be presented. The Intrinsics
interface will be presented from both application and widget programming
perspectives. Development of new widgets and extensions of the existing
sample widget set will also be presented. This tutorial assumes some prior
knowledge of X, and will focus on application interfaces to Ada/Xlib and the
Ada/Xt Toolkit, rather than presenting the basics of writing X based
applications.

Tutorial ID: A-COLOR
Title: Device-Independent Color and TekCMS
Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
Instructor: Joann Taylor, Al Tabayoyon, Tektronix Inc.
Abstract: Topics to be covered are Device-Independent Color Spaces
(including evolution of color spaces, colorimetry and objective color
definition, and advantages and disadvantages of various spaces), Color
Rendering (white points, color matching, gamut compression, color
management), TekCMS (what it is, history, architecture, how to use it),
TekColor Editor (what it is, how to use it), and example applications
(window dump, color matching, printing).

Tutorial ID: A-ICCCM
Title: ICCCM and R4 ICC Changes
Time: 9:00am to 12:00noon
Instructor: Glenn Widener, Tektronix Inc.
Abstract: The intended audience for this tutorial is intermediate Xlib and
toolkit programmers who want to understand the rules for writing
interoperable X11 clients using the Inter-Client Communication Conventions:
how to exchange data with another client using selections, and how to
properly interact with X system clients (window and session managers).
Attendees should have done at least some Xlib programming.

Tutorial ID: P-WCL
Title: Widget Creation Library
Time: 1:30pm to 4:30pm
Instructor: David Smyth, Jet Propulsion Lab
Abstract: The Widget Creation Library is intended to be a very light-weight
library which provides large benefits throughout the software life-cycle.
It has proven to be a useful too for developing rapid prototypes, as well as
during development. A prototype can be directly or gradually evolved into a
product - one never has to re-start from 'zero' when going from the
prototype to the product. During development, the library continues to be
very helpful, because the dependencies between the user interface and the
underlying application can be kept quite minimal. The interace can continue
to be changed radically, as the application code is steadily developed.
After delivery, the library allows users to change virtually every attribute
of the user interface.

Tutorial ID: P-SERVER
Title: X Sample Server Internals
Time: 1:30pm to 4:30pm
Instructor: Keith Packard, MIT X Consortium
Abstract: This tutorial will cover in some detail the internal workings of
the sample server. Particular emphasis will be placed on porting the server
to new machines, writing extensions and the interface changes which took
place between R3 and R4. Release 4 offers a wide range of interesting
optimizations which will be discussed, both from a practical perspective of
their impact on various interfaces, and from a performance perspective.
Finally, a discussion on the impact of X on hardware design will be
included, in the vain hope that software engineers will be able to impact
their hardware environment.

Tutorial ID: P-DPS
Title: Programming with the Display PostScript Extension to X
Time: 1:30pm to 4:30pm
Instructor: Paul J. Asente, Adobe Systems, Inc.
Abstract: The Display PostScript Extension to X, or DPS/X, is an extension
that allows a program to image into an X window using the PostScript
language. Using the PostScript language for imaging brings true WYSIWYG to
the screen by integrating the display with the printers that will ultimately
be used to print documents. The PostScript imaging model fills many holes
in the X model, providing Bezier curves, scalable outline fonts,
manipulation of scanned images, resolution independence, and portability
among displays with different color capabilities.

The tutorial covers the following topics:
- An overview of the PostScript imaging model, concentrating on the
capabilities it provides that are missing in X.
- How to program with the DPS/X client library and with "wraps,"
PostScript language procedures callable from the application and
executed within the extension.
- Using DPS/X to achieve portability and resolution independence.
- Some of the extensions made to the PostScript language for the
display environment.
- Setting coordinate systems and mapping among them.
- How to combine PostScript imaging and X imaging in the same window
to achieve animation and smooth dragging.

Tutorial ID: P-OLIT
Title: Programming with the AT&T OPEN LOOK Toolkit
Time: 1:30pm to 4:30pm
Instructor: Rick Thomas, Unix Systems Laboratories
Abstract: This tutorial is for C programmers who want to learn how to build
a graphics interface using a toolkit, as well understand the general
concepts of object-oriented graphical programming and programming in the X
environment. The objectives of this tutorial are for the attendee to
understand:
o the differences between conventional and object-oriented programming.
o the nature of programming in the X environment.
o how to create instances of graphical programming objects.
o how to build a graphics interface using the OPEN LOOK Toolkit.

VIDEO SESSION, Monday, 8:00pm to 10:00pm

Many concepts, techniques, and applications can be better presented with a
video than a technical paper or live demonstration. Video is also useful for
showing an idea that has not been implemented or the user interface evaluation
process. Attendees are invited to bring a technical videotape for this
session. It should be no longer than 12 minutes, in 1/2 inch VHS or 3/4"
Umatic formats (no PAL encodings). To show your video, you need only sign up
for the session. Videos will be shown in order of sign up. To sign up in
advance, send details to xconf...@expo.lcs.mit.edu. As with the rest of
the conference, this is to be strictly a technical presentation. Product
demonstrations should offer substantial technical content of interest to the X
programmer or user. Demonstrations of new concepts, features, or other
original ideas heretofore unannounced or unseen by the general technical
community are especially welcome. Interesting applications and
work-in-progress from the academic/research community are also encouraged.
Elaborate production values are not expected; a simple video with clear
exposition of its technical content is far more important.

BOFS (Birds of a Feather Sessions)

BOFS will be held on Monday from 4:45pm to 6:15pm, on Tuesday from 8:00pm to
9:30pm, and on Wednesday from 5:00pm to 6:30pm. The schedule of BOFS for each
day will be made available at the conference.
