Here are some notes posted to the PLATO computer-based education system
at the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory (CERL/PLATO/novaNET)
at the University of Illinois (UIUC).  PLATO has had a graphics-intensive user
interface for almost 30 years, and integrated mail systems are of potential
interest to CERL at UIUC.  I would be interested in knowing of other systems
and publication references.

Thank you.

    There has been a lot of work in "multi-media messaging" in
    research organizations.  A significant PLATO development
    is the integrated Graphics G-notes/P-notes/E-mail/editor
    system implemented on the KTH PLATO system (in Sweden).
    KTH's utility is in use on the KTH and HAWAII PLATO systems
    and has been under examination on CERL PLATO for some time.
    Several other products are associated with non-PLATO sites.
     
    The MIT Media Lab is doing long-range research & planning.
    U.Michigan is involved with the NSF EXPRES project (along
    with BBN Labs, ArborText, Inc. and maybe also CMU) in their
    Cognitive Science and Machine Intelligence Laboratory.  CMU
    presented its Andrew project at USENIX last year.  CMU also
    remains very active in the ODA arena, implementing Toolkit
    interfaces to/from ODA (which is embodied in the ISO 8613
    standard, I think).  BBN also has SLATE (called DIAMOND on
    SUN's?).  ISI has its experimental Multimedia Mail system.

    The "KTH system" consists of three integrated parts:
    general notes ("conferences"), personal notes ("mail") and
    display authoring system.  The common thread is graphics.
     
    Among many other differences, a conference note can contain
    graphics and the conference file format can be configured to
    facilitate using it as a more active portion of a lesson.
     
    The personal mail file is much like a conference file and
    features many configuration options and a different approach
    to mailing lists.

    As a matter of fact our authoring system is much more than
    that. By using libraries of subroutines, which can be
    called as named objects from the graphics editor, one
    can tailor-make quite sophisticated environments.
