Page 1 Multimedia Mail Meeting Notes Introduction A meeting was held at USC Information Sciences Institute on the 12th of January 1982 to discuss multimedia mail issues and experiments. The list of attendees is at the end of this memo. Will use the IP and TCP from the BBN project. Interested in word recognition of LPC digitized voice data. Planning to package a synthesiser, an analyzer, and a pitch tracker on one board.
Main interest is in the data structuring and message transport protocols.
Main work to date in design for sharing message data in a conceptualy centralized filing system. Emphasis Page 2 on efficient storage and manipulation of multirecipient messages, enclosures, citations, etc. Using small 11s, Rapicom 450 and 500 fax machines, also have some LPC vocoders. Will be building a prototype system with the aim of investigating problems of data distribution and privacy. Trying to produce portable software currently in Pascal but may switch to ADA in the distant future.
