  	 Xerox Grant Experiments at M.I.T.
	
	    Prof. Thomas Malone
	     M.I.T. Sloan School

In the past year, under the Xerox University Grants Program, MIT has
received 25 Dandelion workstations, with
the following three software environments:  Star, Interlisp-D, and
Mesa/XDE (Xerox Development Environment) and associated file and
print servers.  This talk will describe the
Xerox equipment, our plans for integrating it with the MIT computing
environment, and the research projects currently underway by investigators
in the Sloan School, Statistics Center, and Operations Research Center.

The projects include:  (1) an intelligent system for finding, filtering,
and routing electronic mail and other documents, (2) an expert advisor
for statistical analysis, (3) a distributed database system, (4) a network
name server, (5) group decision-making experiments, and (6) interactive
graphics tools for human-aided optimization.
