The SAGE team (UIC, University of Hawaii Manoa, Virginia Polytechnic) recently published a capstone paper about three generations of SAGE - SAGE: Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment, SAGE2: Scalable Amplified Group Environment, and SAGE3: Smart Amplified Group Environment. Each generation of the SAGE Suite has been a complete redesign and re-implementation of its predecessors, providing users with significantly improved versions of prior capabilities, as well as new capabilities, in response to evolving needs and computing advances. However, through all its generations, SAGE never wavered from its ultimate goal - enabling users to share information and digital media, particularly large-scale visualizations and animations, to accelerate discovery, to build consensus, and to make decisions with greater speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness, and confidence.
