And Others Business Communication Cable Television Charts Databases Design Requirements Foreign Countries Home Programs Information Networks Information Retrieval Input Output Devices Library Automation Online Systems Telephone Communications Systems Videotex This report presents eight papers prepared for a workshop held in June 1980, which was planned to exchange ideas and experiences about, and arrive at a better understanding of, the technological issues that have an impact on videotex systems and their use. Papers emphasize alternative architectures for present and future videotex systems; database structures for supporting simple, user-oriented data retrieval facilities; and the role of information providers. Individual papers presented are (1) "Adaptation of Existing Library Databases to Videotex," by A. J. S. Ball; (2) "Providing Business Information to Prestel," by Brian Botten; (3) "Omnitel TM--An Integrated Broadband Distribution System for the Eighties," by J. J. Coyne; (4) "Database Structures for Videotex Applications," by Jan Gecsei and Gregor V. Bochmann; (5) "Integration of an Alphageometric Information System to a Two Way Coaxial Cable Network," by J. L. Houle; (6) a position paper by D. Leahy on viewdata systems; (7) "Presentation de STAR: (Source Telestel Acces Reseau)" (a minicomputer-based system designed to provide access to a videotex network), by D. Le Moign; and (8) "Preliminary Views on Data Base Architectures for Videotex," by Frank Wm. Tompa. A summary of topics discussed, a list of participants, and a bibliography are included. (LMM)
