 Xerox PARC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xerox PARC was the incubator of many elements of modern computing.
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.
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 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many technologies developed largely by PARC were ignored by Xerox and made their way into other companies' products—for instance, Ethernet, the WIMP interface, and personal computers.
Xerox even developed a line of advanced typewriters just as the typewriter began to lose out to computer-based word processing.
Xerox also markets software such as DocuShare[1] and FlowPort[2].

 Xerox PARC - jason wu
PARC is known as the company who had the future of personal computing in their hands, but a better description would be that they held the entire future of almost all computing.
Xerox can easily be placed with IBM and Apple as one of the pioneers in the field of personal computing.
Besides personal computing, PARC would also have a hand in the future of programming languages with Smalltalk, the Internet with its version of Ethernet, laptop computers with Notetaker, and even word processing with Gypsy.

 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.
The Xerox 1075 copier/duplicator, which uses the Ethernet principal to facilitate varying the document handling and output sorting configurations, is released.

 Palo Alto Research Center
Incorporated in early 2002, PARC is defining a new vision for how pioneering research creates commercial impact.
As the birthplace of technologies such as laser printing, Ethernet, the graphical user interface, and ubiquitous computing, PARC has an established track record for transforming industries and creating commercial value.
Building on our three-decade tradition of innovation, PARC works with Xerox and other strategic partners to commercialize technologies created by our renowned scientists.

 CNN - 1972: Xerox Parc and the Alto - July 8, 1999
Taylor was associate manager of the Computer Science Lab at Xerox Corp.'s Palo Alto Research Center (Parc) in Palo Alto, Calif. He headed up the group of brilliant, iconoclastic computer scientists who were developing the Alto, generally credited as the first PC.
Taylor says he thought computers should be devices for communicating with others, not engines for making calculations; that everyone should have one; and that all computers should be networked to one another.
That system, dubbed the Maxc (Multiple Access Xerox Computer), was a continuation of work started by Berkeley Computer Corp. Berkeley had run out of capital, and its founders, including Peter Deutsch, had all agreed to join Parc to finish their project.

 Ubiquitous Computing
The initial incarnation of ubiquitous computing was in the form of "tabs", "pads", and "boards" built at Xerox PARC, 1988-1994.
In its current form, it was first articulated by Mark Weiser in 1988 at the Computer Science Lab at Xerox PARC.
Ubiquitous computing work at PARC was funded by Xerox and ARPA; funding does not mean endorsement.
http://nano.xerox.com/hypertext/weiser/UbiHome.html

  
 xerox.doc
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.
The Notetaker, a portable personal computer built at PARC in 1978, is rumored to have been the inspiration for the Osborne 1.

 Bringing Design to Software Profile 2 - STAR
PARC's most notable innovation was the personal computer, which grew out of earlier concepts by Alan Kay for what he called a reactive engine and a Dynabook.
The Xerox Star was born out of PARC's creative ferment, designing an integrated system that would bring PARC's new hardware and software ideas into a commercially viable product for use in office environments.
The progenitor of the modern personal computer, the Alto, was developed in 1972 by Kay's Learning Research Group (LRG) and a number of researchers in PARC's Computer Systems Laboratory (CSL), under the direction of Robert Taylor.
http://hci.stanford.edu/bds/2p-star.html

  
 Xerox
PARC also was the birthplace of Xerox's DocuPrint network printing software, the dual-beam lasers used in many Xerox products, and the scheduling software of the Xerox DocuColor iGen3 Digital Production Press.
Together, PARC and Xerox are defining a new vision for how pioneering research creates commercial impact.
Founded in 1970 as a part of Xerox Research, PARC was incorporated in 2002 as an independent research business.

 Xerox Star Research
The Xerox Star was an incredible piece of technology in its time that displayed a lot of innovative ideas and impressed a good amount of people in the computer industry.
Star actually refers to the software that was to be used in conjunction of the machine developed by Xerox and not the machine itself, although it's easy to see the misunderstanding.
Xerox made its mark in the computer industry but it couldnt shake its image as a copier company.

 XEROX PARC - Definition
So was the laser printer and the local-area network; Smalltalk; and PARC's series of D machines anticipated the powerful personal computers of the 1980s by a decade.
For more than a decade, from the early 1970s into the mid-1980s, PARC yielded an astonishing volume of ground-breaking hardware and software innovations.
The modern mice, windows, and icons (WIMP) style of software interface was invented there.

 Xerox Alto computer
The concept of using a visual interface originated in the mid 1970s at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) where a graphical interface was developed for the Xerox Star computer system introduced in April 1981.
In 1978, Xerox donated a total of fifty Altos to Stanford, Carnegie-Mellon, and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
The Xerox Star did not experience any commercial success, but its ideas were copied by Apple Computer, first in the innovative Lisa in 1983 and then in the Apple Macintosh introduced in January 1984.

 MacKiDo/Interface/ui_history
Xerox was doing research tools, and later tried to make a big client-server type document distribution systems.
The concepts of User Interface (Human Factors) was not new, it was just a little newer in applying it to computers.
That computer had a few similarities in concept (user interface) with stuff Xerox was doing, but almost NOTHING in common design or implementation.

 Research in Support of Digital Libraries at Xerox PARC Part II: Technology
Researchers at PARC are engaged in a set of empirical and theoretical studies to characterize information-access-intensive work in a way that leads to the design and evaluation of digital library and related systems.
Researchers at PARC have developed a variety of theoretical and computational tools for search over and retrieval from large collections of online documents (usually natural language texts, but increasing multimedia), as well as for helping the user understand and navigate the contents of the collections.
In addition, Xerox research in El Segundo, California, has been involved in porting the XSoft DMA middleware (available free to DMA members) from Win32 to Unix, and is currently working on extending the middleware to support distributed repositories.

 DigiBarn: The Xerox Star 8010 (Dandelion)
The Xerox workstations, while a commercial failure, occupy an important position in the lineage of visual computing systems.
The Xerox Star 8010 "Dandelion" is one of the most significant introductions of any computer system.
These systems were a full 15 years ahead of their time with sophisticated WYSIWYG document composition, built in Ethernet, email, scanning networked laser printing, development environments including Smalltalk, and much more.

 Lynn Conway's VLSI MPC Adventures at Xerox PARC
So, we began working very hard at PARC to create ideas to bring down the cost per project and the overall turnaround time, and to scale up capabilities for handling as many designers as possible.
Somewhere along the line I began to use the metaphor that "we're creating something for mask and fab that was like the time-shared operating system was for computing systems".
I am thinking of Doug Fairbairn, who was with us during the key early years; Dick Lyon, who has contributed so much to the effort; Alan Bell and Martin Newell for their innovations and efforts in the creation of VLSI implementation systems that have supported so well the validation and spread of VLSI knowledge.

 TIME Magazine: Forward into the Past
The first model was built in 1964 by Doug Engelbart and William English, of the Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, Calif. By the early 1970s, many of us at Xerox PARC had become point-and-click fans, using state-of-the-art Alto computers.
I hooked up full-motion desktop videoconferencing and video mail in 1988 and, four years later, started using a pen-based electronic whiteboard and drafting table.
The now ubiquitous computer mouse also took a poky path to market.

 Xerox PARC pioneer Pake dies - LANs - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com
PARC helped pioneer research into many key technologies, including laser printing, Ethernet, graphical user interfaces and client-server computing.
Tough economic times forced the closure of Berkeley Computer and left a number of very talented engineers available for the company to hire - luminaries such as Chuck Thacker and Butler Lampson.
After his retirement from Xerox in 1986, Pake started the Institute for Research on Learning, a group that explored learning as a fundamentally social activity.

 Xerox Parc personalities - Computerworld
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.)
Not everyone at Xerox Parc thought the approach the Alto team was taking was the right one.

 About the Xerox PARC Map Viewer
A paper describing the Map Viewer was presented in May 1994 at the First International World-Wide Web Conference.
Each map image is created on demand from a geographic database.
The Xerox PARC Map Viewer was created in June 1993 by Steve Putz at Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center, as an experiment in providing interactive information retrieval via the World Wide Web.

 Red Hat founds ‘Xerox PARC for Linux clustering’ The Register
Linux distributor Red Hat has clearly come to think of itself as a latter day Xerox -- today it announced the formation of a PARC-style research centre charged with developing "world class" Linux clustering technology.
To be fair to Red Hat, the prime motivator here appears to be its partner Alpha Processor (API), the Samsung-Compaq joint venture.
