-------------------------------------------------------- Because of late publications in a number of journals, we hereby re-submit this call for contributions to netland: -------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS Second Eurographics Workshop on Object Oriented Graphics Texel, The Netherlands, 5-7 June 1991 Aims and Scope: =============== Object Oriented Methods are particularly applicable to Computer Graphics in its broadest sense -- in human computer interaction, in image synthesis, in dynamic graphics and in CAD. Research in computer graphics has also lead to a critique of object oriented theory. The workshop is part of a continuing series allowing researchers to pool ideas and to address common problems. The previous workshop identified a number of fundamental issues for resolution. These included: + Constraints for graphics systems and their inclusion in the object oriented paradigm. + Relationships between declarative and object oriented approaches to graphics. + The integration of dataflow methods and `objectified' messages. + Usefulness of inheritance hierarchies. The use of prototypes and delegation. + Abstractions for modelling complex objects (e.g., part hierarchies). + What multiple views of objects are, and how they may be implemented. + The need for object oriented graphics standards (new API) and systems. + Overcoming the shortcomings of existing object oriented environments. Papers are solicited which address these or other fundamental issues arising from the use of object oriented methods in computer graphics. The discussions could lead to extensions to the papers or to the formulation of research programmes to address remaining unresolved problems. Full Papers: ============ Please submit 4 copies of a full paper (15-25 single sided pages, < 10000 words, 200 word abstract) for review by the programme committee. Papers accepted for the workshop will be reproduced in the proceedings. Invitations to submit revised versions for a book (in the Eurographic- Seminars Series of Springer) will depend on the quality of the contributions. Position Papers: ================ Taking part is also possible if you submit a brief position paper (1-2 pages) stating your view on some relevant issues. Invitations will be sent at least a month before the workshop. Early position papers have priority and will be printed in the (pre-)proceedings. Workshop Format: ================ The workshop is limited to about 60 participants. Full papers will be presented to the plenum, while specialized groups will be formed for discussion sessions. Schedule: ========= 31 January 1991 Deadline for full paper. 12 April 1991 Deadline for position paper to be included with preprints. Notification of outcome of review of full papers. 4 May 1991 Latest date for position papers for admission to workshop. 5-7 June 1991 WORKSHOP 9 August 1991 Deadline for revised final paper for book. Venue and Fee: ============== The workshop will be held in De Koog, on the island Texel, The Netherlands. Transport from Amsterdam will be arranged. The fee will be about HFL 850, including accommodation and meals. Students without access to other funds could be subsidized. Organization: ============= The workshop is organized by the CWI (Nationally Funded Dutch Institute for Research in Mathematics and Computer Science) and promoted by Eurographics. It is supported by a grant from the NWO (Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research) and SERC (Software Engineering Research Centre). It is chaired by Edwin Blake (CWI) and Chris Laffra (SERC). Programme Committee: ==================== F. Arbab (Netherlands), J. Coutaz (France), E. Fiume (Canada), B.N. Freeman-Benson (USA), M.R. Kaplan (USA), Wm Leler (USA), B.A. Myers (USA), X. Pintado (Switzerland), T. Takala (Finland), J. van den Bos (Netherlands), I. Wilkinson (UK), P. Wisskirchen (Germany).
