                      Fourth Eurographics Workshop
      
                          on Graphics Hardware
      
                      FIRST CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
      
                 Hamburg - Federal Republic of Germany
      
                           3-4 September 1989
      
      
      
      Aims and 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  complex-
      ity.  On the other hand, general purpose hardware, as avail-
      able today, offers economically  state-of-the-art  technolo-
      gies 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 men-
      tioned 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.
