Hi, I'm posting the following conference announcement for a friend. Please don't contact me for more information since all I know is what's written below ... Preliminary Announcement and Call for Papers -------------------------------------------- *** COMPUGRAPHICS 91 *** First International Conference on Computational Graphics and Visualization Techniques September 16-20, 1991 - 'Villas de Sesimbra', Sesimbra, Portugal Conference and Program Chair : Harold Santo, DCE-IST, Portugal Exhibition Chair : Helena Braz, DCE-IST, Portugal Publicity : Jose Miranda, Epromar, Portugal Program Committee (preliminary list) Varol Akman, Bilkent University, Turkey Vera Anand, Clemson University, USA Hank Christiasen, Brigham Young University, USA Xoan Leiceaga, University of Vigo, Spain Aaron Marcus, AM & Assoc., USA Jon Meads, Bell Northern Res., Canada David Rogers, US Naval Academy, USA Judson Rosebush, JR Co., USA Steve Slaby, Princeton University Jorge Stolfi, DEC-SRC, USA Romero Tori, EPUSP, Brazil Conference Scope, Objectives and Structure ------------------------------------------ "COMPUTATIONAL Graphics" is an emerging scientific area which combines traditional and COMPUTER Graphics, Technical Drawing, Descriptive Geometry, Computational Geometry and Geometric Modeling. As such, it is at the heart of all graphical applications related to the sciences, namely Engineering Science, forming the backbone of the so-called Scientific Visualization. The present conference aims therefore at gathering together outstanding experts, leading researchers, scholars, engineers, scientists, industrialists and all interested individuals in these interrelated fields. The event, the actual first and truly international meeting on 'Computational Graphics', is designed to be a large forum for everyone involved, materialized by high-level lectures, papers and panels, and is intended to be a unique opportunity to discuss the present situation, future directions, research and educational goals. It will lead to a thorough definition and solidification of the discipline and will provide the needed fertilization of ideas and experiences. A number of keynote lectures by especially invited speakers is being prepared to reinforce the overall goals of the event. A parallel exhibition of equipment, software and literature, will take place and special demonstrations are being planned, including a slide, film and video show. Participants are encouraged to bring material of all kinds (publications, audio-visual items, books, etc) to be displayed. Delegates' software are especially welcome and demonstrations can be arranged. The Conference language is English. Contributions and Deadlines --------------------------- High-quality papers are solicited in, but not restricted to, the following topics : .. Traditional Graphics and Descriptive Geometry .. Engineering Graphics and Computerized Drafting .. Theoretical Graphics and Classical Geometry .. Computer Graphics and Image Synthesis .. Computational Geometry, Computer-Aided Geometric Design .. Geometric and Solid Modeling .. Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing .. Computer Aided Engineering and Engineering Design .. Scientific Visualization and Supercomputing .. Finite Element and Other Numerical Methods .. Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems .. Computer Assisted Instruction and Education .. Graphics Standards and User-Interface Methodology .. Physically-Based Modeling and Animation .. Natural Scene Simulation and Fractal Modeling Authors are invited to submit 5 copies of a summary (preferably extended abstract) by March 1, 1991. Notice of acceptance will be given by May 10, 1991. Final papers will be due by July 31, 1991. Summaries and full papers should be sent to COMPUGRAPHICS 91 c/o Prof. Harold P.

Sesimbra offers a wide variety of attractions, particularly its fabulous beaches, a walking distance from the Conference location. Cozy and varied restaurants, shops, pubs, bars and discos abound, just below the beautiful medieval castle which overlooks the area. Fishing zones and golf clubs are also points of interest and the conference site itself is full of facilities like swimming pool, gym and tennis courts, sauna, bar, restaurant and night-club. Several tours, a program for accompanying persons and other social events will be organized. Various attractions will take place at the time of the Conference, being of notice the Formula 1 Car Race in Estoril (Sept. 22), a sailing and racing boat championship and, much too predictably, bullfights.
