The conference has three aims: firstly, to provide tutorial sessions explaining methods and ideas currently in use; secondly to air the results of recent research into describing surfaces, designing surfaces, and finding surfaces which fit or approximate given data, with an emphasis on computational techniques and the mathematics behind them; thirdly, to present novel applications of these methods in science and industry. Thus the conference will be of interest to mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers, and scientists who are already involved in the computer aided description of surfaces, and to those who need an introduction to these ideas. There will be a number of invited papers from distinguished speakers, and a number of contributed papers. A poster session will also be included. It is especially hoped that the bringing together of theoreticians with the users of these techniques will lead to useful discussion of current problems and possible approaches to their solution. Contributed papers of 40 minutes presentation time are invited. These will be accepted on the basis of an extended abstract (1-2 pages) which should be sent to Dr R Martin Department of Computing Mathematics Mathematics Institute Senghenydd Rd Cardiff CF2 4AG United Kingdom by January 15th 1986. Authors will be advised of acceptance by February 15th. (Or send them via electronic mail to xacf03%uk.ac.cf.ga@ucl-cs.arpa) The conference organisers are Dr R Martin (University College Cardiff) and Mr M Pratt (Cranfield Institute of Technology) The proceedings of the conference will be published in the IMA Conference Proceedings Series by Oxford University Press. Please forward a copy of this call for papers to anyone you think may be interested ! ------------------------------ End of INFO-GRAPHICS ********************
