                SECOND EUROGRAPHICS WORKSHOP
                            on
                 "ANIMATION and SIMULATION"
                            --
                   Call for contributions
                            --
                    September 1-2, 1991

                      Vienna, Austria


AIMS and SCOPE:

The first Eurographics workshop on Animation and Simulation held in
September 90 in Lausanne was mainly devoted to motion control
techniques. The purpose of the second worshop is to improve the
exchange of experience and knowledge between people representing the
animation and simulation communities on a more general theme:
modeling, animation control, simulation and visualization of dynamics
scenes. The selected main topics for this workshop are :

        - hardware and software for animation
        - motion control
        - physically  based modeling
        - simulation of dynamic natural phenomena
        - animation languages and systems
        - character animation, human animation, synthetic actors
        - behavioral animation
        - animator interface
        - flight and driving simulators
        - real time animation/simulation
        - graphical simulation
        - motion blur and temporal antialiasing
        - temporal coherence

Authors are invited to send four copies of an extended abstract (up to
6 pages) to the workshop secretariat (see below for relevant
deadlines). Abstracts submitted after the deadline will still be
considered, but will have a lower priority for inclusion in the
programme. Invitations to submit revised versions for a book (in the
Eurographics Seminar Series or the EG Technical Series) will depend on
the quality of the contributions.


IMPORTANT DATES :

May  15         : deadline for extended abstract 

June 15         : notification of acceptance for the workshop

July 31		: full papers

September 1-2   : workshop 

October 14 	: notification of acceptance for publication


PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN :
 D. Thalmann (CH), G. Hegron (F)

PROGRAM COMMITTEE :
 N. Badler (USA), P.Willis (UK), M.Girard (NL), D. Thalmann (CH)
 N. Magnenat-Thalmann (CH), B. Arnaldi (F), G. Hegron(F), A. Luciani (F)
 X. Pueyo (Spain), G. Gagalowicz (F)

LOCATION AND ORGANIZATION :

The workshop will be held at Vienna (Austria) and organized by Michael
Zeiller (local arrangement chairman) of the Institut Fur
Computergraphik (Technische Universitat Wien). The lecture room is
suitable for 200 people, so passive participants will be accepted to
attend the workshop. The registration fee will be around 40 ECUs (580
AS), including two lunches and proceedings.  The workshop is an
activity of the Eurographics Working Group on Animation and
Simulation.
