SECOND EUROGRAPHICS WORKSHOP ON
VISUALIZATION IN SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING
Delft, The Netherlands, 22-23 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 has founded
a Working Group in this field, and a first successful workshop was
held in Clamart (Paris), in April 1990.
This workshop is a sequel to the first workshop, 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,
geology, chemistry, meteorology, etc. Topics for the workshop
include:
- volume visualization
- rendering techniques
- animation
- flow visualization
- visualization process reference models and standards
- architectures and distributed processing for scientific
visualization
- user interfaces and interactive 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.
PAPERS: Submission is invited of full technical papers (10- 20 pages),
or short 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 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
EurographicSeminar series.
PARTICIPATION: The workshop will be limited to about 50 participants;
all technical papers will be presented in plenary sessions. Discussions
will also be held in smaller, specialized groups.
Location and organization: The workshop will be held at Delft
Hydraulics in Delft, Netherlands. Details on fee, accommodation,
and transportation will be given later. 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). The members of the program committee will be announced
later.
