Sketchpad A man-machine gr Ivan
Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad is one of the most inuential computer programs ever written by an individual, as recognized in his citation for the Turing award in 1988. The Sketchpad program itself had limited distribution executable versions were limited to a customized machine at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory so its inuence has been via the ideas that it introduced rather than in its execution. Sutherland's dissertation describing Sketchpad was a critical channel by which those ideas were propagated, along with a movie of the program in use, and a widely-cited conference publication [10]. Copies of the dissertation were distributed relatively widely, but it was never published commercially. It is still available in the form of a technical report from MIT, but we believe it deserves wider readership hence this electronic archival publication.
