The Vela Project brings together a team of co-PIs that spans 6
university locations  across the USA: 
MIT, MSU, NCSU, Stanford, UCB and UCSB -- all participants in a unique
proof-of-concept experiment  that aligns system designers, library and tool
providers, and system integrators. The overriding objective of this
experiment  is to design a single-chip
multimedia processor at a level of complexity that will be typical for 
next-generation systems and
demonstrate the feasibility of constructing and supporting 
a distributed design environment. 
The near-term objectives of this project include organization of
real-time demos of distributed design activities,
modelled on the Internet-based patterns of use that are beginning to emerge
among all project participants. These demos have taken place during the
forthcoming Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, in the
the University Booth, on June 15, 16, 17, 1998.
The main objectives of this report are: 
\begin{itemize}
\item
to document the formal structures of
interaction between the project participants;
\item
to provide a concise summary and context for each demo;
\item
to capture enough detail in the description of each executable demo,
so that demos can be critically tested and improved by Vela project
participants as well as collaborating partners elsewhere.
\end{itemize}
Demos will all aspects of this project, including
(1) design driver,
(2) design libraries,
(3) web-based point-tools and  APIs, and
(4) web-based workflows, enabling users to configure and
visualize executable graphs that link tools and data across the Web,
while maintaining the consistency and the ease of execution for
each and every sequence of user-configured tasks.
