                          Third Eurographics Workshop
                              on Graphics Hardware
                                        
                             CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
                                        
                       Nice - France 11-12 September 1988
                                        
Aims/Scope: Graphics hardware designers today have lots of different
options for system design as offered by ASIC design tools and powerful
general purpose modules.  On the one hand, silicon compilers offer the
short turn-around time of ASIC design and allow for an increased
circuit complexity.  On the other hand, general purpose hardware, as
available today, offers economically state-of-the-art technologies and
can be used to obtain ``cheap'' parallel systems.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading workers in the
field of graphics hardware design, to present their work and to
discuss alternative design options.

Contributions are invited with respect to the following areas:

   * architectures & interaction
   * architectures & algorithmic aspects
   * innovative custom hardware
   * innovative use of general purpose hardware
   * VLSI design strategy

To be accepted, authors are requested to send preferably extended
abstracts (up to 6 pages) to one of the below mentioned addresses.
Abstracts submitted after the deadline will still be considered, but
will have a lower priority for inclusion in the programme.
Papers and Discussions will be published in a book.
