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, Prof. Rafael M. HUBER Instituto de Cibernetica Univ.

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.
