For those of you that may not be too familiar December 2006 with previous JS Reports, they initially consisted of displays of the student work member schools submitted as part of their annual reports. As the membership to the JS Program increased over the years and it became impossible to include all the work in a printed document, displays in the printed report were reduced to at most one page per school and an all inclusive CD accompanied it. The latter Editor: Chris I. Yessios soon contained over 500 pages and, in addition to static displays, included multimedia projects, mostly animations that could be played directly from the pages Art Editor: Wasuta Orser of the respective projects. Copy Editor: Jason Lichtenberger After doing these reports for a good number of years, two years ago, AutoDesSys recognized that they tended to be repetitive and that the printed and CD versions were largely redundant. In mutual agreement with the PIs, the printed report switched to a “thematic” format, while the CD version continued the all inclusive ISBN-13: 978-0-9792943-0-3 format that became known as the “catalogue” format. The thematic format had actually been introduced in 1998-99 with quite a bit of success, but at the time ISBN-10: 0-9792943-0-4 it did not appear appropriate to repeat it every year. A couple of years ago, realizing the potential of the report to evolve into a scholarly publication, and with • COPYRIGHT © 2006, 2007 the vast majority of the PIs concurring, it became clear that the thematic report by AutoDesSys, Inc., the schools, was worth repeating annually.
