----------------------- PLEASE POST THIS ----------------------- SIGGRAPH '91 Conference Workshops Call for Participation SIGGRAPH conference workshops offer an important technical, scientific, and creative forum for the interchange of ideas in the international computer graphics community. In structured, small-group workshop discussions, participants define issues, compare their work, discuss unresolved problems that require further research or development, and explore solutions. All workshops are summarized in finished reports for publication in Computer Graphics. Appropriate workshop topics include current research in the academic or industrial sector, current development for a project or product, or a topic of current interest, such as emerging standards. The workshops committee invites proposals from anyone who would like to organize a group to discuss these areas. Workshop organizers are expected to invite participants, plan an agenda, lead a one- or two-day workshop, and produce a report of the group's results. Topics that relate to education in computer graphics will be excluded from workshops. These topics should be proposed as an educator's activity. One or two-page proposals from prospective workshop organizers must be received by the workshops chair by 9 January, 1991. By late January, the workshops committee will review the proposals and select workshop topics. The committee will then publish a call for workshop participants in various technical publications. People interested one of the topics must then submit a two- to four-page position paper to the workshop organizer. The organizer will review position papers and select participants, with committee approval. Just before the conference, participants who have been selected will send supplemental documents to the workshop organizer for distribution to other participants in that workshop. The workshop contributor's packet provides further details about contributor guidelines and the responsibilities of workshop organizers and participants.
