该奖项将为高性能网络提供资金， 图形工作站支持建筑可视化研究 环境. 研究的目标是： 1.创建可用于快速生成应用程序的工具- 具体来说， 面向视觉的高性能计算环境 工作站; 2.在以下应用领域构建原型环境： 大规模地- 并行算法和体系结构，异步和 分布式 系统和VLSI设计; 3.使用这些原型在三个应用程序中进行研究 地区 构建环境的方法将基于声明性的 语义概念架构，其中每个环境都是 指定为底层语义模型的接口， 用户交互。 环境始终保持屏幕 显示为基础模型的当前状态的表示， 以便当状态发生变化时，演示文稿会自动更改 模型变化。 底层模型的状态之间的映射 而屏幕显示是以声明的方式定义的， 必须保持的理想关系，而不是精确的 这种方法将需要在以下方面取得进展： 用户界面管理、知识库和声明性语言， 这些都是系里活跃的研究领域

This award will provide funds for a network of high-performance graphics workstations to support research on building visualization environments. The goals of the research are to: 1. Create tools that can be used to rapidly generate application- specific, visually-oriented computing environments on high-performance workstations; 2. Build prototype environments in the application areas of massively- parallel algorithms and architectures, asynchronous and distributed systems, and VLSI design; 3. Use these prototypes for research within the three application areas. The approach to building environments will be based on a declarative semantic conceptual architecture, in which each environment is specified as an interface to an underlying semantic model with which the user interacts. The environment always maintains the screen display as a presentation of the current state of the underlying model, so that the presentation automatically changes when the state of the model changes. The mapping between the states of the underlying model and the screen display is defined declaratively, in terms of the desired relationship that must be maintained, and not on the precise program used to maintain it. This approach will require advances in user interface management, knowledge bases, and declarative languages, which are active research areas in the department.
