Welcome and Best Paper Awards Don Libes, National Institute of Standards and Technology Michael McLennan, Bell Labs Innovations for Lucent Technologies
Keynote Address I've used Tcl since it was first publicly available, around 1989. For the last ten years, I've used it in practically every software system I've built, from image processing systems to fault tolerant agent based planners, and a number of 2D and 3D computer animation systems. I'll tell you how I used Tcl in these various systems, and what made it so darn useful. I'll also talk a little about how Tk was (or wasn't) used in such systems, and why certain choices were made. Pretty pictures will be shown and free software will be made available. Michael Johnson is a Media Arts Technologist for Pixar Animation Studios, the studio that brought "Toy Story" to life and the forthcoming "A Bug's Life." He previously worked for Thinking Machines, NCSA, and IBM. Michael received his MA in Visual Studies and PhD in Media Arts & Sciences from MIT's Media Lab. |
