CRYSTAL GAZING V. COMPUTER SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY PROJECTIONS

    This paper is an edited transcription of a tutorial session. Although the author has removed redundancies, corrected syntactic and verbal ambiguities, rearranged some discussions, and inserted several viewgraph figures and references, a large part of the session's informal colloquial character has been retained.

    crystal gazing: the practice of staring into a crystal ball in order to arouse visual perceptions, as of distant happenings, future events, etc.[1][2].
