ANSI asked to free

up exchange of

standards, Hurricane

Andrew survivors

get relief, VESA takes

the bus, and

ergonomics finds

a home.

ANSI May ChangeMore than 500 computer- and

communications-industry pro

fessionals recently signed a

petition to ANSI, the Ameri

can National Standards insti

tute, requesting that all techni

cal standards documents be

available in electronic form.

Petition signers included all

members of the Internet Archi

tecture Board, the key techni

cal body guiding the evolu

tion of the emerging global

Internet, and other prominent

members of the community,

such as Mitch Kapor of the

Electronic Freedom Founda

tion and David Clark of MIT's

Laboratory for Computer Sci

ence. Individual employees

from almost every significant

participant in the computer

and communications field—

Apple, 3Com, AT&T, IBM,

Mead Data Central, and Vi

sion Quest, to name a few—

signed the petition.

ANSI, a private organiza

tion and the self-designated

national coordinating body for

U.S. standards development,

has come under increasing

pressure to make key techni

cal documents more widely

available at lower costs. ANSI

charges up to $10 per page

for a large body of crucial doc

uments. High-priced stan

dards mean that college stu

dents and young profession

als are unlikely to ever read

the documents, which are a

crucial part of their education

as professionals, and lack of

access leads inevitably to

lack of knowledge.

Databases Aid ReliefThere's a database some

where with your name in it—

and a lot more. The informa

tion is constantly being gath

ered and compiled when you

perform the most innocent of

tasks, such as subscribing to

a magazine or writing a

check at your local grocery

store. But don't think those

stats are just wasting away in

some computer's data

banks; someday they could

save your life. Thanks to one

company's demographic re

sources, the Federal Emergen

cy Management Agency (FE-

MA) received some relief of

its own during the Hurricane

Andrew relief efforts.

FEMA was allowed free

use of CONQUEST, a PC-

based geodemographic mar

keting information system

that provides access to dem

ographic, economic, and ge

ographic databases supplied

by Donnelley Marketing Infor

mation Services. Each day dur

ing relief efforts, FEMA used

the CONQUEST system to pro

duce a key facilities map,

which contained both English

and Spanish legends and

showed the location of tent cit

ies, water, food, disaster appli

cations centers, and more.

Copies of the map were then

distributed to all relevant gov

ernment agencies. FEMA also

correlated maps of damaged

areas with its own geograph

ic information system databas

es to identify what existed in

the areas—the number of trail

ers, businesses, and so on—

all of which helped pinpoint

where and what type of disas

ter relief was needed most.

For example, knowing that 18

percent of Florida City's resi

dences are unoccupied most

of the year helped FEMA iden

tify the number of residences

there that needed to be

searched after the hurricane.

The U.S. military aiso used

the system to determine

where garbage needed to be

picked up and the location of

burn sites for debris.

On the BusThe Video Electronics Stan

dards Association (VESA), a

nonprofit organization that

sets and supports video graph

ics standards for the benefit

of end users, announced that

the VESA Local Bus (VL-Bus)

standard has been ratified by

VESA's general membership.

Under development since No

vember 1991, the VL-Bus stan

dard is designed to bring work

station-level performance to a

standard PC platform, remov

ing numerous bottlenecks

that have hampered PCs for

several years. On the VL-Bus,

peripherals operate at the com

puter's speed, thus enabling

data transfer between periph

erals and the system at maxi

mum speed. Such perform

ance is critical for bandwidth-

constrained devices like vid

eo, multimedia, mass storage,

and networking adapters. The

low-cost, extendible, portable

local-bus'design allows sys

tems and peripherals from dif

ferent manufacturers to work

seamlessly together.
