Andrew Pam has a decade of experience with online communications, from
300bps acoustic couplers and CP/M to ISDN, the WWW and beyond. He is
currently a partner in Glass Wings (the first Australian commercial
publisher on the Internet), Internet coordinator for the world-wide
Xanadu project (the longest-running project in the history of computers,
responsible for Hypertext and Hypermedia) and the Australian agent for
HyperWave (originally named Hyper-G). A much more lengthy resume is
available at http://www.sericyb.com.au/sc/apresume.html.
Andrew says about his poster:
I will discuss the current state of the Xanadu project and the
transition from a monolithic, proprietary design (1979-1992) to a series
of open proposals and design specifications. I am returning from a trip
to Japan, where Xanadu is currently based, on June 27th and will report
on activities underway at Keio University including transcopyright and
the implementation of transclusions. I will also explain why these
issues are important to an online publisher such as Glass Wings, discuss
why HyperWave (formerly Hyper-G) is a step forward and compare the Glass
Wings site as implemented using both WWW and HyperWave, with specific
coverage of our use of multimedia.
