Readers of this newsgroup may be interested in the following:

  The Telesophy Project at Bell Communications Research is a research
effort to understand how to provide uniform access to AnyThing
AnyWhere and thus permit browsing the WorldNet.  A telesophy system
transparently stores and retrieves information of different types
from different locations.
  We have built a prototype on Sun workstation hardware, which
accesses multiple datatypes from multiple databases on multiple
machines.  A set of databases have been obtained, ranging from
Netnews to journal citations to full-text magazines to color
pictures, and we are beginning to use the system on a daily basis.
  The prototype attempts to achieve the full potential of networks of
bitmapped workstations.  It provides a content-addressable
distributed file system coupled with local multi-media editing.
Building such an end-to-end system requires finding some workable
solution to a myriad of unsolved research problems.
  We are seeking new colleagues to help build the telesophy
prototype.  If interested, please contact me directly.  A fuller
description appears on misc.jobs.
