GRAPHICS PROGRAMMING

A four day short course

29 June - 2 July 1992

Course Fee: 595.00

This course is designed for software engineers who have
already had experience of software writing, but need to
familiarise themselves with the techniques of graphics
programming, or for graphics programmers who need an update
on state-of-the-art developments in this field.

... continues
------------------------- page 11 --------------------------
Graphics Programming short course ...

The course will cover hardware topics that are relevant to
graphics software, and illustrate the main developments that
are taking place in this area. Delegates will have the
opportunity to learn the current status of international
graphics standards, the realities and limitations of their
implementations, and the implications of this for developing
portable software. Techniques such as 3D object modelling
and image synthesis will be discussed, and there will also
be sessions covering specific application areas such as
computer aided design and analysis of remotely sensed data.
Please indicate the applications areas that most interest
you, since this will help us in selecting application case
studies.

Third Eurographics Workshop on Object-Oriented Graphics

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Champery, Switzerland, 28-30 October 1992

Aims and Scope:
At past workshops it has been noted that people in the
graphics community are addressing a wide variety of
problems: surface modeling, rendering, animation,
interaction, multiple media, constraints, etc. At the same
time, it has also been noted that people share similar
concerns in the areas of software reuse, extensibility and
maintenance. This workshop will be an effort to identify
such common concerns and to devise solutions that benefit a
wide spectrum of research domains within the interactive
graphics community. The goal of the workshop is to outline a
common platform, based on a set of object-oriented

------------------------- page 26 --------------------------
EG workshop "Object-Oriented Graphics" ...
primitives, for the support of graphics applications. To
this end, each submission should be motivated by at least
one of the following questions:

1. If my programming environment were to provide an
object-oriented platform, what kind of support would I ask
from it for my particular domain of interest?
2. As a designer of an object-oriented platform, how would
it support object-oriented graphics?

Here, the term object-oriented platform should be taken in a
broad sense; it may encompass any kind of functionality to
support graphics applications, even non-graphic primitives
such as support for persistent objects, concurrency, etc.
The following non-exhaustive list provides some typical
issues that could be discussed:
... continues
------------------------- page 27 --------------------------
EG workshop "Object-Oriented Graphics" ...

- support of reuse and extensibility in graphics systems,
- concurrency and distribution support for graphics
applications,
- standards for data exchange such as geometric primitives,
scripts, sound and video,
- the integration of constraints in graphics systems,
- the binding of input/output activities to objects and user
interaction,
- encapsulation as a mechanism for interoperability of
graphics applications,
- object-oriented "wrapping" of existing graphics kernels.

... continues
------------------------- page 28 --------------------------
EG workshop "Object-Oriented Graphics" ...

Full Papers:

Please submit 4 copies of papers (10-20 single sided pages,
200 word abstract) for review by the programme committee.
Accepted papers will be reproduced in the workshop
proceedings. Invitations to submit revised versions for a
book (in the EurographicSeminars Series of Springer) will
depend on the quality of the contributions. Shorter position
papers (1-2 pages) may be accepted according to their
relevance to the workshop. Questions concerning the
suitability of papers should be addressed to the organizers.

... continues
------------------------- page 29 --------------------------
EG workshop "Object-Oriented Graphics" ...

Workshop Format:

The workshop will be limited to 60 participants. To
encourage discussion, at least two types of presentations
are foreseen: 1) full paper presentations and 2)
presentations of the results from small group discussions.
Equipment for document and transparency preparation will be
made available. The results of the workshop may also be
reproduced in the book if the participants and editors feel
they are appropriate.
