[The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.] Networks and imagining systems in a windowed environment is written for the end users of document retrieval systems. The extension of electronic imaging beyond traditional document processing tasks makes it valuable as a vehicle for interdisciplinary development. It is the purpose of this book to present the discussion of design and implementation concepts made possible by the availability of multitasking (windowed) and communicating (networked) technologies and to identify issues and solutions. This work focuses on the workstation as the physical interface between the organization and its information system and on the constraints that the use of imaged documents places on such an interface. Additionally, this book is designed to be a guide to the selection, planning, design, and integration of image-based document storage and retrieval applications. The emphasis is on printable/displayable text and graphics materials. Written with minimum technical terminology and from the point of view of the end user, this book will be of interest to designers of office systems, who need to understand the constraints of imaging systems, end users, who need a frame of reference to translate their needs into specifications; system planners and implementers, as well as support personnel, who need to understand the practical aspects of installed systems, and students in the field, who need comprehensive treatment of specific applications of the technology.
