Call for Participation
SIGCOMM-SIGGRAPH Workshop on Graphics and Networking*
16-18 January 1991
National Center for Atmospheric Research
Boulder, Colorado
The futures of graphics and networking are closely linked
together. The spread of networked workstations with high-quality
bit-map displays has encouraged the creation of environments
which use networks to exchange graphics images. The advent of
fiber-optic networks, with gigabit data bandwidths, capable of
carrying data fast enough to support real-time graphics, seems
likely to encourage further integration of the two fields.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together key members of the
graphics and networking communities, including people involved in
research, development and standards, to discuss concerns common
to the two fields. Topics of discussion are expected to include:
What are the critical interactions between work in graphics and
work in networking? How will current and future graphics stan-
dards affect current and future networking protocols? What
effect will new developments in each field have on the other?
Suggestions of additional topics are welcomed.
The workshop format will be three days of plenary meetings, with
each day having four sessions. Each session will start with
brief presentations (5-10 minutes) by selected attendees, fol-
lowed by discussion. A meeting report will appear in the SIG-
GRAPH and SIGCOMM newsletters.
How To Participate
To ensure a good interaction between participants, the workshop
is limited to no more than 75 people. We will try to give every
attendee the opportunity to give a very short talk. If you are
interested in attending, send a two paragraph application that
describes your background, and the topic or topics you would like
to discuss, to the program co-chairs by October 22:

Conference Fees
The conference fee will be $80 for SIG/ACM members and $100 for
non-members. We expect a choice of hotels, with prices from $35
to $60 a night. The workshop itself will be held at the facili-
ties of the National Center for Atmospheric Research which is
generously contributing the meeting space.
Student Attendence
There are spaces reserved for two graduate students to attend the
workshop. These two students will be asked to keep notes, and
provide a workshop report which will be printed in the SIGGRAPH
and SIGCOMM newsletters. In return for this work, the workshop
will provide up to $500 in travel funding for each student. Stu-
dents interested in applying for these positions should contact
the conference co-chairs.
