I n t r o d u c t i o n On January 16-18, 1991, SIGGRAPH and SIGCOMM held a joint workshop in Boulder, CO, on the interaction between computer graphics and computer networking. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together experts in the fields of graphics and networking to promote the study of the ways in which distributed, graphics-based applications interact with network services. The workshop was organized as a result of discussions between Vint Cerf, chair of SICGCOMM,Jim Thomas, chair o f SIGGRAPH, and Craig Partridge, also of SIGCOMM, who explored the need for dialogue between those working in computer graphics and networks. As a result of these discussions, Partridge and Thomas laid the groundwork for the workshop and asked Bob Haber of SIGGRAPH and Ralph Droms of SIGCOMM to act as co-chairs. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) graciously, offered the use of their facilities for the workshop, and the workshop was held at NCAR in Boulder. The workshop included 32
