            Sixth Eurographics Workshop on Graphics Hardware

                         CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

                            Vienna - Austria
                          1 - 2 September 1991


Aims/Scope:  Graphics hardware designers today  have  lots  of  different
options  for  system  design as offered by ASIC design tools and powerful
general purpose modules.  On the one hand, silicon  compilers  offer  the
short  turn-around time of ASIC design and allow for an increased circuit
complexity.  On the other hand, general purpose  hardware,  as  available
today,  offers economically state-of-the-art technologies and can be used
to obtain ``cheap'' parallel systems.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading workers in the field
of  graphics  hardware  design,  to  present  their  work  and to discuss
alternative design topics.

Contributions are invited with respect to the following computer graphics
areas:
* architectures & interaction
* innovative custom hardware
* architectures & algorithmic aspects
* innovative use of general-purpose hardware
* VLSI design strategy for graphics
* graphics for VLSI design

To be accepted, authors are requested to send four copies of an  extended
abstract  (up  to  6  pages)  to  one  of  the below mentioned addresses.
Abstracts submitted after the deadline will still be considered, but will
have a lower priority for inclusion in the programme.

Papers and discussions will be published by Springer Verlag in a book.

Workshop Chairmen: Prof. A. Kaufman, State  University  of  New  York  at
Stony Brook, USA, and Dr. M. Mehl, FhG-AGD, Darmstadt, Germany.

Programme Committee: Prof. R.L. Grimsdale (University of Sussex, UK), Dr.
F.  Kitson  (HP  Labs, Palo Alto, CA, USA), Dr. P. Leray (CCETT, France),

Amsterdam, NL), Prof. W. Strassber (University of Tubingen, FRG), Dr.  S.
Molnar (University  of  North  Carolina,  Chapel  Hill,  USA),  Dr.  J.R.
Rossignac  (IBM  Thomas  J.  Watson  Research  Center,  USA), Dr. C. Shaw
