EUROGRAPHICS WORKSHOP ON
COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND MATHEMATICS
GENOVA - ITALY 28-31 October 1991
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Aims and Scope: The aims of the workshop are (1) to provide a
forum for the exchange of research results in the application
of mathematics to Computer Graphics, i.e., a technology
transfer, (2) to encourage mathematicians to attack computer
graphics problems, and (3) to promote the use of all relevant
mathematical techniques and methods in computer graphics. A
secondary aim is to discover the basic mathematical tools
every computer graphics expert should have.
Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
TECHNIQUES FROM GEOMETRY TECHNIQUES FROM TOPOLOGY
-Projective Geometry -Topological Modelling
-Computational Geometry -Non-manifold Modelling
-Differential Geometry
-Fractal Geometry LOGIC AND REASONING
PROBABILITY -Theorem Proving
-Symbolic Reasoning
-Stochastic Functions
-Monte-Carlo Methods ANALYTICAL AND ALGEBRAIC TOOLS
-Chaos Theory
-Algebraic Geometry
-Complex Analytical Tools
-Quaternions
Abstracts: We are planning to accept 35 papers. Please submit
3 copies of a single-spaced extended abstract of minimal 1000
and maximal 3000 words (not counting figures and references)
on A4 sheets before April 30, 1991 to the address below.
Those interested in attending but not submitting full papers
are requested to submit an abstract which should take the form
of a position paper, stating their view on some of the
relevant issues. Invitation to submit revised versions for a
book (in the Eurographics Seminar Series) will depend on the
quality of the contributions.
Venue and Fee: The workshop will be held in S. Margherita -
(Genova) - Italy. The fee will be about 630.000 Liras,
including accomodation and meals.
Organization: The workshop is organized by the I.M.A.
(Institute for Applied Mathematics) of the C.N.R. for
Eurographics.
