Thanks to all those who mailed me conference info. Info on Graphics
Interface '91, Eurographics '91, and Computer Graphics International '91
follows.
Of the three, I have only been to Graphics Interface '90. I think it
was a fun conference (except for the bastard Canadian border guard, the
only living person to treat me more rudely than US border guards), and
a small enough conference that you can "confer"! Also, I believe "Interface"
refers to interfacing with other researchers as opposed to user interfaces,
so it is a general graphics conference.

CG INTERNATIONAL '91: VISUALIZATION OF PHYSICAL PHENOMENA
MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
June 22 - 28, 1991
The Computer Graphics Society is pleased to announce "CG International '91:
Visualization of Physical Phenomena" at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in Cambridge, Mass., USA. This Ninth International Conference on
Computer Graphics is organized jointly by MIT and the CGS and will be held in
the Media Laboratory on the MIT campus June 22 - 28, 1991. Future conferences
are planned in Japan (1992), Canada (1993), Australia (1994) and Greece (1995).
Call for Papers
The emphasis of this conference will be the visualization of physical phenomena
and design automation. In line with these themes, original papers, surveys and
applications are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas:
- Fluid flow visualization
- Underwater visualization in the ocean
- Map construction methods
- Simulation and visualization of chaos
- Fractal modeling, representation and applications
- Mathematical issues, singularities and theoretical aspects
- Visualization in astrophysics and space sciences
- Imaging, vision and detection
- Computational geometry and algorithms
- Geometric, solid and non-manifold modeling
- CAD/CAM and design automation
- Computer animation in engineering, arts, sciences, medicine and
sports
- Visualization strategies, ray tracing, rendering and volume
visualization
- Supercomputing for visualization
- Multimedia technologies
- Graphics applications in education, engineering, science and industry
Selection will be based on peer review of full papers of up to 10,000 words,
including figures, that contain previously unpublished original results and
applications. Color illustrations (slides) are welcomed. Papers should be
written in English and should be typed and double-spaced on one side only.
Accepted papers should be typed according to publisher instructions and will be
published by Springer Verlag of Tokyo as bound conference proceedings. In order
to be considered by the Program Committee, the first part of each full paper
should include title; a maximum 200-word abstract; up to 10 keywords; name,
title, affiliation, complete mailing address, telephone/fax/telex numbers and
electronic mail address (if available) for each author; maximum 100-word
biography and photograph of each author; indication of who the corresponding
author will be; and a signed statement of commitment by all authors that "If
paper is accepted for publication, one of the authors will present the paper at
the CGI'91 conference." Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a
200-word summary of their paper prior to submitting the full paper. Submission
of summaries is not mandatory but feedback from the Program Committee on
submitted summaries may be useful to the authors in preparation of their full
paper. The summary should include all of the above except the abstract, author
biography/photograph and statement of commitment. Please submit 6 copies of the
paper summary and the full paper to the Program Chairman. In addition, expanded
versions of exceptionally high quality papers will also be published in a
special issue of The Visual Computer, the official journal of the CGS. Authors
interested in such publication should request a review of their paper for the
Journal.
REQUEST FOR PANELS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND SHORT COURSES
The Program Committee is seeking proposals for panel discussions,
demonstrations of research prototypes and commercial computer graphics systems,
short video presentations and short courses. Panels will be selected based on
relevance, significance, and general interest. A panel proposal should include
the panel title, the suggested moderator's and panelists' names, and the draft
position statements of the panelists (maximum 200 words each). Demonstrations
of research prototypes and commercial systems will be selected based on
technical merit, novelty and feasibility. The presence of systems designers is
necessary at the demonstration. Proposals should include the title and a brief
description of the demonstration (maximum 200 words) and technical requirements
for the demos. Short video presentations will be selected based on technical
merit, novelty and relevance. Committee selections will be incorporated into a
videocassette to be distributed to conference participants. Please submit a
brief description (maximum 200 words) and a videocassette copy of the
presentation (maximum 5 minutes in duration). To maintain acceptable picture
quality, only U-matic 3/4 inch videocassettes will be accepted. Note that the
NTSC Broadcast Standard is preferred, however presentations submitted on PAL
and SECAM Standards will also be reviewed. Short courses, typically half-day
sessions held prior to the conference, will be selected based on relevance and
general interest. The proposal should include the title, name(s) of
instructor(s), and a description of the objectives of the course (maximum 200
words), plus a description of any technical requirements. All of the above
proposals should include for each author a title, affiliation, complete mailing
address, telephone/fax/telex numbers, electronic mail address, maximum 100-word
biography and indication of who the corresponding author will be.
