Call for Contributions SECOND EUROGRAPHICS WORKSHOP ON VISUALIZATION IN SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING Delft, Netherlands, 22-24 April, 1991 AIMS AND SCOPE: Visualization in Scientific Computing is a new and rapidly growing area in computer graphics, actively motivated and stimulated by enthusiastic researchers from many scientific and engineering disciplines. Its aim is the exploitation of the power of the human visual system for the interpretation of large and complex data from scientific measurements or computer simulations, through computer generated images. The Eurographics Association Working Group in this field has held a first successful workshop in Clamart (Paris), in April 1990. This workshop is a sequel to the first, and is intended to provide a forum for presentation of recent research results, system development, or application studies, and for exchange of views between experts and users. Areas of applications can be: medicine, structural analysis, aero- and hydrodynamics, geophysics, (bio)-chemistry, meteorology, astronomy, etc. Topics for the workshop include: - volume visualization - rendering techniques and animation - flow visualization - molecular graphics - visualization process reference models and standards - architectures and distributed processing - user interfaces and interactive techniques - data formats and data handling techniques - case studies in applications and system design Papers will be presented by participants and discussions will be held on these and other relevant topics. CONTRIBUTIONS: Submission is invited of contributions in two categories: full technical papers, reporting research work (10-20 pages), or brief position papers, stating views on issues in scientific visualization, or describing on-going work in the field (2-4 pages). Papers are reviewed and selected by an international program committee. Accepted papers will be included in the preprinted proceedings, distributed at the workshop. A selection of the best papers, revised after the workshop, will be proposed for publication in a book in the Springer Eurographic-Seminar series. PARTICIPATION AND FORMAT: The workshop will be limited to about 50 participants, invited on a basis of selected submitted material. Technical papers will be presented in plenary sessions. Position papers will be presented and discussions are will be held both in plenary sessions and in smaller, specialized groups. LOCATION AND ORGANIZATION: The workshop will be held at Delft Hydraulics in Delft, Netherlands. The workshop fee will be about Dfl. 200, including lunches and proceedings. The workshop is an activity of the Eurographics Working Group on Visualization in Scientific Computing, and is organized by TU Delft (Delft University of Technology), in cooperation with Delft Hydraulics. It is chaired by Frits Post (TU Delft) PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Daniel Bergeron (USA), Lesley Carpenter (UK), Michel Grave (F), Hans Hagen (FRG), Karl Heinz Hoehne (FRG), Roger Hubbold (UK), Arie Kaufman (USA), Ulrich Lang (FRG), Yvon Le Lous (F), Frits Post (NL), Jack van Wijk (NL) IMPORTANT DATES: 1 February, 1991 Deadline for papers (5 copies) 20 March, 1991 Notification of acceptance and invitations 22-24 April, 1991 Workshop INFORMATION AND SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Andrea Hin Eurographics ViSC Workshop TU Delft, Faculty of Technical Mathematics & Informatics P.O.
