| | Xerox PARC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Xerox PARC was the incubator of many elements of modern computing. | | | The work at PARC in the years since the early 1980s is often overlooked, but major work since then includes Ubiquitous computing aka Pervasive Computing, Aspect-oriented programming, and IPv6 to name but a few. | | | Xerox PARC was the first research group to widely adopt the mouse invented by Douglas Engelbart's Augmentation Research Center at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) in Menlo Park, California. |

| | PARC History |
| | The term "ubiquitous computing," coined at PARC to describe this work, will become industry-standard terminology to refer to an environment in which portable, connected computational tools are pervasive. | | | PARC's vision of computers as tools that could help people work together will change the course of the computer industry and lead to new ways of organizing interactions to support both individual and collaborative work. | | | In addition to employing the results of PARC's research on data transmission, storage, and laser imaging technologies, cognitive modeling systems were used in its design. |

| | While researchers in PARC's Computer Science Laboratory were completing the MAXC and beginning to use it, their counterparts in the Systems Science Laboratory were putting together a distributedcomputer system using Nova 800 processors and a high-speed character generator. | | | Perhaps the strongest push in progress at PARC is in artificial intelligence, where the company is marketing Dandelion and Dorado computers that run Interlisp, along with PARC-developed Al tools, including Loops, a software system that lets knowledge-engineers combine rule-based expert systems with object-oriented programming and other useful styles of knowledge representation. | | | In PARC's Computer Science Laboratory, researchers were developing a powerful language for systems programming. |

| | Early PARC innovations (from Xerox PARC) -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | Many innovations in computer design were developed by PARC researchers, including the Alto, the first personal computer; the graphical user interface; the laser printer; and... | | | However, the mindset at Xerox, like that of all computer manufacturers of that time, was that a market did not exist for such machines. | | | Among the many inventions of the 1970s, few are as important as the personal computer, and, because the Xerox Alto was developed in 1973, PARC can claim credit for having made the first one. |

| | Bob Taylor, associate manager of the Computer Science Lab at Parc in Palo Alto, says there was a cultural divide between the other groups of physicists and industrial scientists at Parc and the two computer labs -- his hardware-focused Computer Science Lab and Alan Kay's software-oriented Systems Sciences Lab, which invented Smalltalk using the Alto. | | | (Kay proposed in 1972 that Parc work on his Dynabook, a notebook-sized computer; Parc management declined; Kay often referred to the Alto as the "interim Dynabook," former Parc employee Ed McCreight says.) | | | Parc management tried to nix the idea, saying beanbag chairs would violate corporate standards and wouldn't be professional enough. |
