The important characteristics of an I-SPACC: are that it presents a powerful, but uniform and simple interface to all users, that it permits users to synthesize information from diverse parts of the I-SPACE for simultaneous viewinc and manipulation v&a their screens, and that it accommoaates a cluttered desktop environment, where activities can be set asi' de \\but kept up to date by real-time mechanisms , then later returned to. We describe the Goddard -SPACE, a prototype system for Goddard Space Flight Center, an archetype of organizations in need of an I-SPACE. This ISPACE is presently running on a VAX, and will soon incorp.ora te a lar~e mui tiprocessor to handle real-time schedul1ng and event-driven pattern matchers.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/188","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/0188.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/188.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/bibtex/188","volume":{"slug":"1981","title":"Proceedings of the Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1981","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/","year":1981,"location":"Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada","dates":"24-28 August 1981","editors":"Roger C.
