		 ---------------------------------------
                                 ICCG93
              International Conference on Computer Graphics:
             Interaction, Design, Modelling and Visualization

		         February 22-26, 1993
                            Bombay, India

                            organised by

    CONFERENCE THEMES AND TOPICS

    Computer  Graphics  is continuously evolving to  higher  levels of
    creative  accomplishments and technological  sophistications  with
    newer  concepts,  techniques  and  ever  increasing  spectrum   of
    applications.  Present day computing is steered by interaction  to
    desired  computational  results that are more  often  communicated
    visually rather than just in print. The main goal of ICCG93 is  to
    provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion
    of  recent  developments  in Computer  Graphics  and  CAD  through
    tutorials,  contributed and invited papers, and  case  studies  in
    graphics  systems and applications. The conference will  focus  on
    three main themes with a number of related topics to each of those
    themes.


    CONFERENCE THEMES

    Graphical Interaction

    Design and Modelling

    Rendering and Visualization


    CONFERENCE TOPICS

    Graphics and geometric algorithms

    Modelling curves, surfaces, solids and volumes

    Physically based modelling

    Interactive design and user interfaces

    Computer animation and visual simulation

    Scientific and multi-dimensional data visualization

    Image handling and interchange standards

    Graphics systems and architectures

    Innovative applications of graphics


    CALL FOR PAPERS
