CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
ESPRIT II Project 2463 - ARGOSI
Distributed Window Systems - Theory and Practice
Are Distributed Window Systems Appropriate for Distributed
Graphics Applications
Abingdon, UK, 9th-11th December 1991
======================================================================
Aims and Scope:
The ESPRIT II Project ARGOSI - Applications Related Graphics and OSI
Standards Integration - organized a Workshop in Breuberg, Germany, in
October 1990, which highlighted a number of areas for further work and
discussion within the context of the integration of graphics and
networking standards. One area not tackled fully at that Workshop, was
the relationship between distributed window systems and distributed
graphics applications.
A joint SIGGRAPH/SIGCOMM Workshop on Graphics and Networking in Boulder
in January 1991 observed that the X window system was considered to be
inadequate for high-end research in visualization systems.
The theme of this present Workshop is the appropriateness and role of
distributed window systems for distributed graphics applications.
Contributions are sought which explore these issues. Areas of interest
include:
* Experience with X and other window systems for distributed
graphics applications
* Reference models for distributed graphics applications and
windowing
* Impact of high bandwidth communications on requirements for high
performance distributed graphics applications
The Workshop language will be English.
Full Papers:
Participation will be limited to encourage discussion. Selection will
take place on the basis of full papers (up to 15 pages) reviewed by the
Programme Committee. Please submit 4 copies to the address below. Papers
and conclusions will appear in the workshop proceedings. Invitations to
submit revised versions for a book (EurographicSeminars series published
by Springer-Verlag) will depend on the quality of the contributions.
Participation without submitting a paper may be possible in a few cases,
if a position paper is submitted with your views on current issues in
distributed window systems.
