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. Workshop Co-chairperson: B.Falcidieno (Italy) and I.Herman (NL). Programme Committee: F.Arbab (NL), W.Boehm (Germany), K.Brodlie (UK), V.Capasso (Italy),M.Cohen (USA), F.Devai (UK), T.Hewitt (UK), C.Hoffman (USA), G.Krammer (H), S.Mudur (India), M.Overmars (NL), D.Rogers (USA), T.Sederberg (USA), H.Seidel (Canada), T.Takala (Finland), A.Vinacua (Spain). Workshop Format: The workshop is limited to about 50 participants. Papers will be presented to the plenum while specialized groups will be formed for discussion sessions. Schedule: 30 April 1991 Deadline for abstracts 15-30 June 1991 Notification of acceptance 28-31 October 1991 Workshop 15 December 1991 Deadline for revised final papers for the book Information: Please submit your extended abstract or write for further details to: Bianca Falcidieno or Caterina Pienovi Istituto per la Matematica Applicata Via L.B.Alberti 4, 16132 Genova, Italy Email: FALCIDIENO@IMAGE.GE.CNR.IT Phone: +39 10 - 517639 PIENOVI@IMAGE.GE.CNR.IT Fax: +39 10 - 517801 Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
