This book was released on 1985 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Scientific/Engineering Workstation Experiment is being conducted to determine the characteristics of workstations which would significantly improve the productivity of scientists and engineers in the Naval Laboratories. This report discusses the evaluation methodology and results. Furthermore, the report presents preliminary comments and recommendations for scientific/engineering workstation specifications. The initial results of the experiment for scientific/engineering workstation specifications. The initial results of the experiment are based on the time interval from April to August, 1984. Four major preliminary conclusions were reached. First, workstations can be effectively used for real projects. Second, the individual scientists or engineer's working environment plays and important role in the utilization of a workstation. Third, certain features and capabilities were found to be used by scientists and engineers on certain features and capabilities were found to be used by scientists and engineers on almost all workstations. Finally, workstation specifications should be primarily based on performance requirements that insure the actual needs of scientists and engineers are met.
