A technique and philosophy for controlling computer animation is discussed. Using the Actor/Scriptor Animation System (ASAS) a sequence is described by the animator as a formal written SCRIPT, which is in fact a program in an animation/graphic language. Getting the desired animation is then equivalent to "debugging" the script. Typical images manipulated with ASAS are synthetic, 3D perspective, color, shaded images. However, the animation control techniques are independent of the underlying software and hardware of the display system, so apply to other types (still, B&W, 2D, line drawing ...)

Classic parallel commputing paper, where the famous Amdahl's law is first mentioned

We present the design and implementation of Illinois Malicious Processors (IMPs). There is a substantial design space in malicious circuitry; we show that an attacker, rather than designing one specific attack, can instead design hardware to support attacks. Such flexible hardware allows powerful, general purpose attacks, while remaining surprisingly low in the amount of additional hardware.

This paper proposes an extremely simple alternative to Mills’ NTP latency integration approach which, while substantially less accurate than NTP, is suitable for many network games and can be used on top of a stream-oriented protocol such as TCP [POSTEL80-2].

This paper overviews the principles of the synthesis of virtual sound environments for application to the fields of music and multimedia production and to the design of advanced multimodal human-computer interfaces (e.g. virtual reality). A real-time spatial processor developed by Espaces Nouveaux and Ircam, the Spatialisateur, is presented. It allows to reproduce and control the localization of sound sources in three dimensions as well as the projection (reverberation) of sounds in an existing or virtual space. A specificity of the Spatialisateur project is the concern to provide direct control over the perceptual spatial attributes associated to each sound source and to the virtual space, while allowing reproduction via various systems or formats over loudspeakers or headphones. The operational advantages of this approach are illustrated in practical contexts.

A significant bibliography of game technology and game studies references is being constructed. It's a work in progress, but here are links to the relevant pages as they exist at this moment.
