Eurographics Workshop on Object Oriented Graphics
FIRST CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Koenigswinter - Federal Republic of Germany
6-8 June 1990
Aims and Scope:
==============
Object Oriented Methods are proving to be particularly applicable to
Computer Graphics -- in formulating new graphics standards and in
dynamic graphics and human computer interaction. The specific computer
graphics problems have also resulted in a critique of the object
oriented paradigm.
Contributions are sought which combine the latest results in Object
Oriented Methods with original contributions to Computer Graphics.
Participants will present their work and discuss problems and extensions
with the group. Areas of interest include:
+ Standardization and Object Oriented Languages for graphics
+ Complex Objects (e.g., objects with a hierarchy of parts)
+ Dynamic Type Creation (e.g., new types created on the fly in CAD)
+ Automatic Classification of dynamically created objects
+ Issues in 3-D Animation & Robotics (Constraints, Collision Detection ...)
+ AI and Knowledge Representation in object oriented graphical systems
+ Direct Manipulation and object oriented User Interfaces
Full Papers:
============
The workshop will be limited to about 40 participants to encourage
discussion. Selection will take place on the basis of full papers (up
to 25 pages) reviewed by the programme committee. Please submit 4
copies to the address below. Papers will appear in the workshop
proceedings. Invitations to submit revised versions for a book (in the
EurographicSeminars Series) will depend on the quality of the
contributions.
Taking part without submitting a paper may be possible in a few cases if
you submit a position paper with your view on current issues in object
oriented computer graphics. Invitations will be sent about one month
before the workshop.
Schedule:
========
31 January 1990 Deadline for full paper
12 April 1990 Notification of acceptance of paper
30 April 1990 Latest date for position papers

Venue and Fee:
==============
The workshop will be held at Koenigswinter near Bonn, on the Rhine.

boat excursion and reception at Birlinghoven Castle. Student
participants without access to other funds could be subsidized.
Organization:

Computer Science (GMD) and the Dutch Centre for Mathematics and Computer
Science (CWI) and promoted by Eurographics, in cooperation with: German
Society for Informatics (GI4.1.1 Special Interest Group for Graphics
Systems, GI4.1.5 German Chapter of Eurographics).
Co-chairmen: Peter Wisskirchen (GMD) and Edwin Blake (CWI).
