CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear colleague,

As you may know, the IMACS is organizing its 13th. World Congress
to be held in Dublin (Ireland) in July 22-26, 1991.

We have  been  appointed  by  the  Organizing  Committee  of  the
Congress to set up a group of sessions on:

       * KNOWLEDGE-BASED SIMULATION
       * OBJECT-ORIENTED SIMULATION

whose aim  is to  exchange ideas  on the state of the art and the
impact of  knowledge-based and  object-oriented methodologies  in
modelling and simulation.

If based on your recent research contributions you are interested
in submitting  a paper  to these  sessions, please  complete  the
enclosed form.

DEADLINES: You are invited to submit as soon as possible, but not
         later than  July 15th,  1990, two  copies of an extended
         abstract  of   the  paper   in  English,  One  to  Prof.
         Kulikowski and the other to Prof. Huber. Notification of
         acceptance will be mailed by October 15th, 1990.

With kind regards,

StereoGraphics , in cooperation with numerous microcomputer
software and hardware firms, has released Version 1.0 of 
"A Specification for Stereo Image Display on Microcomputers".

This standard addresses how software and display hardware 
communicate to display stereoscopic images. Hopefully a de
facto standard can be established now, easing interface problems
for everyone interested.

We are offering to send this document to all interested parties.
Because we have underwritten the cost of doing this, please only
request a copy if you have a real need or interest. 

If it proves useful we shall revise and expand this standard in the 
future based upon feedback from all parties interested in this
field. Comments are welcome, we prefer via mail, fax or Email.

To request this document, please contact:
   
      Stereographics
      Standards Project
      Bx 2309
      San Rafael, CA. 94912

Please enclose your mail address and a sentence or two on why you 
can benefit from this document. Thanks!
