          2. INTRODUCTION TO MOTIF (John Wexler and Bob McGonigle)

          Wednesday 28 October, at the University of York.

          This tutorial is a technical course, based on courseware
          developed at the Computing Services of the University of
          Edinburgh, in conjunction with IXI Ltd of Cambridge. The
          tutorial is aimed at people who will program or port
          applications to use Motif and X, or people who need to know
          how to do that even if they will not be doing it themselves.
          The prerequisites for the course are familiarity with Unix,
          C programming and user experience of a WIMP interface.

          The tutorial will introduce the basic Motif concepts, and
          will describe the details of callbacks and resources. Basic
          widgets, such as MainWindow and ScrolledList, and the use of
          PulldownMenus, will be covered. A guide to using the Motif
          documentation will also be given. A practical to illustrate
          these basic concepts will be run. This is the first of two
          Motif tutorials in the Eurographics programme.The second
          tutorial, BEYOND THE MOTIF BASICS, will be held in early
          1993, and will continue from the first, covering further
          widgets, and mechanisms such as actions and translations.

          JOHN WEXLER works at the Edinburgh Regional Computing
          Centre. His special interests are operating systems,
          concurrent systems, and software engineering. His is the
          author of "Concurrent Programming in occam 2".

          3. COLOUR PERCEPTION, MODELLING AND DISPLAY
                                                   (Lindsay Macdonald)

          Friday 20 November 1992, at Cosenor's House, Abingdon.

          This tutorial will cover both theoretical and practical
          aspects of the perception and use of colour in computer
          graphics and imaging applications. The morning sessions will
          provide an overview of how we see, organise and model
          colour, with reference to recent research into colour
          appearance modelling. The afternoon sessions will deal with
          displays and printing processes, with practical techniques

          for calibration and colour control, plus guidelines for
          making the best use of colour for the presentation of
          information in displays. The tutorial comprises four
          modules, as follows:

          - Light, colour and human vision
          - Colour appearance and modelling
          - Reproduction of colour in display and print
          - Guidelines for using colour effectively in displays

          Third Eurographics Workshop on Object-Oriented Graphics

          CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
          Champery, Switzerland, 28-30 October 1992

          Aims and Scope: 
          At past workshops it has been noted that people in the
          graphics community are addressing a wide variety of
          problems: surface modeling, rendering, animation,
          interaction, multiple media, constraints, etc. At the same
          time, it has also been noted that people share similar
          concerns in the areas of software reuse, extensibility and
          maintenance. This workshop will be an effort to identify
          such common concerns and to devise solutions that benefit a
          wide spectrum of research domains within the interactive
          graphics community. The goal of the workshop is to outline a
          common platform, based on a set of object-oriented
                                                    ... continues

          EG workshop "Object-Oriented Graphics" ...
          primitives, for the support of graphics applications. To
          this end, each submission should be motivated by at least
          one of the following questions:

          1. If my programming environment were to provide an
          object-oriented platform, what kind of support would I ask
          from it for my particular domain of interest?
          2. As a designer of an object-oriented platform, how would
          it support object-oriented graphics?

          Here, the term object-oriented platform should be taken in a
          broad sense; it may encompass any kind of functionality to
          support graphics applications, even non-graphic primitives
          such as support for persistent objects, concurrency, etc.
          The following non-exhaustive list provides some typical 
          issues that could be discussed:

          - support of reuse and extensibility in graphics systems,
          - concurrency and distribution support for graphics
            applications,
          - standards for data exchange such as geometric primitives,
            scripts, sound and video,
          - the integration of constraints in graphics systems,
          - the binding of input/output activities to objects and user
            interaction,
          - encapsulation as a mechanism for interoperability of
            graphics applications,
          - object-oriented "wrapping" of existing graphics kernels.

          Full Papers: 

          Please submit 4 copies of papers (10-20 single sided pages,
          200 word abstract) for review by the programme committee.
          Accepted papers will be reproduced in  the workshop
          proceedings. Invitations to submit revised versions for a
          book (in the EurographicSeminars Series of Springer) will
          depend on the quality of the contributions. Shorter position
          papers (1-2 pages) may be accepted according to their
          relevance to the workshop. Questions concerning the
          suitability of papers should be addressed to the organizers.

          Workshop Format:

          The workshop will be limited to 60 participants. To
          encourage discussion, at least two types of presentations
          are foreseen: 1) full paper presentations and 2)
          presentations of the results from small group discussions. 
          Equipment for document and transparency preparation will be
          made available. The results of the workshop may also be
          reproduced in the book if the participants and editors feel
          they are appropriate.

          EG Workshop on Rendering ...

          We now announce the fourth workshop on rendering. As in
          previous years, the workshop will aim at improving the
          exchange of experiences and knowledge between people
          interested in the different aspects of rendering techniques.

          The main topics of this workshop are: 
                  radiosity,                   ray tracing,
                  illumination models,         volume rendering,
                  human perception issues,     colour,
                  texture mapping,             sampling,
                  filtering and anti-aliasing.

          WORKSHOP FORMAT

          Participation will be limited to about 60 people to
          encourage discussion. The format of the workshop will
          include numerous discussion opportunities, and specialized
          groups may be formed for further discussion sessions. A
          number of internationally renowned speakers will be invited
          to address the audience.

          Selection will take place on the basis of extended abstracts
          reviewed by the programme committee. Papers and conclusions
          will appear in the workshop proceedings, and invitations to
          submit a revised version for a book will depend on the
          quality of the contributions.
