IEEE Symposium on
COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE & REAL TIME GRAPHICS
Delft, Thursday 15 June 1989
In recent times, the use of Computer Graphics as a multi-purpose interac-
tive tool is finding an increasing level of acceptance. Already, a variety
of application domains are demanding high-resolution complex pictures, to
be rendered at high speed. The question arises: how can the supporting
computer systems keep up with these growing demands. In search for
answers, the construction of novel algorithms and architectures is an
active research area.
In order to address these questions, IEEE Student Branch Delft is organiz-
ing, in cooperation with IEEE Benelux and KIVI, a symposium on Computer
Architecture and Real Time Graphics, to be held at 15 June 1989 in Delft.
The symposium will cover various issues related to modeling and real time
visualization. To this end, topics like model representation, manipulation
and display are discussed, as well as user interfaces, algorithms and
hardware architectures. Also, the use of Computer Graphics as a tool in
animation and simulation will be shown. The last session will be a forum
discussion among manufacturers of workstations regarding the question "What
does the ideal graphical workstation look like".
EXHIBITION
The symposium includes an exhibition that showcases a broad spectrum of
graphical workstations, special purpose hardware, and software packages.
The following companies are participating: Alliant, Apollo, Ardent, Atari
Workstation, Automated Images, Control Data, Convex, Digima, Gould, Hewlett
Packard, Inducom, Raster Technologies, SCAN, Silicon Graphics, Sun, Tek-
tronix and TNO.

VENUE
The symposium will be held in lecture room A at the building for Civil
Engineering, Stevinweg 1, Delft University of Technology, Delft.
