Eurographics Workshop on Object Oriented Graphics FIRST CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS Koenigswinter - Federal Republic of Germany 6-8 June 1990 Aims and Scope: ============== Object Oriented Methods are proving to be particularly applicable to Computer Graphics -- in formulating new graphics standards and in dynamic graphics and human computer interaction. The specific computer graphics problems have also resulted in a critique of the object oriented paradigm. Contributions are sought which combine the latest results in Object Oriented Methods with original contributions to Computer Graphics. Participants will present their work and discuss problems and extensions with the group. Areas of interest include: + Standardization and Object Oriented Graphics Languages + Complex Objects (e.g., objects with a hierarchy of parts) + Dynamic Type Creation (e.g., new types created on the fly in CAD) + Automatic Classification of dynamically created objects + Issues in 3-D Animation & Robotics (constraints, collision detection ...) + AI and Knowledge Representation in object oriented graphical systems + Direct Manipulation and object oriented User Interfaces Full Papers: ============ The workshop will be limited to about 40 participants to encourage discussion. Selection will take place on the basis of full papers (up to 25 pages) reviewed by the programme committee. Please submit 4 copies to the address below. Papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Invitations to submit revised versions for a book (in the EurographicSeminars Series) will depend on the quality of the contributions. Taking part without submitting a paper may be possible in a few cases if you submit a position paper with your view on current issues in object oriented computer graphics. Invitations will be sent about one month before the workshop. Schedule: ======== 31 January 1990 Deadline for full paper 12 April 1990 Notification of acceptance of paper 30 April 1990 Latest date for position papers 6-8 June 1990 WORKSHOP 13 August 1990 Deadline final paper (15-25 pages, camera ready) Venue and Fee: ============== The workshop will be held at Koenigswinter near Bonn, on the Rhine. The fee will be around DM700, including accommodation, meals, evening boat excursion and reception at Birlinghoven Castle. Student participants without access to other funds could be subsidized. Organization: ============= The workshop is organized by the German National Research Centre for Computer Science (GMD) and the Dutch Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) and promoted by Eurographics, in cooperation with: German Society for Informatics (GI4.1.1 Special Interest Group for Graphics Systems, GI4.1.5 German Chapter of Eurographics). Co-chairmen: Peter Wisskirchen (GMD) and Edwin Blake (CWI). Programme Committee: ==================== The committee so far includes: A.Borning (USA), R.Duisberg (USA), M.R.Kaplan (USA), B.A.Myers (USA), C.Nahaboo (France), X.Pintado (Switzerland), M.Slater (UK), T.Takala (Finland), T.Tomiyama (Japan), J.van den Bos (Netherlands).
