          The applications of visualization cover a wide range of
          disciplines including engineering, molecular modelling,
          fluid dynamics, earth sciences, physics and mathematics.

          Suggested topics for the workshop include:

             *  visualization techniques
             *  data interpretation
             *  the human interface to visualization systems
             *  reference models, system architectures
                   and standards for visualization
             *  applications and case studies of visualization

          FORMAT

          The workshop will be limited to about 40 people, invited on
          the basis of contributions submitted prior to the workshop. 
          The format will consist of a number of selected
          presentations interspersed with focussed discussion/work
          sessions.  The topics of the working sessions will be
          determined by the Programme Committee on the basis of the
          contributions received.

          CONTRIBUTIONS

          All contributions will be reviewed by an international
          programme Committee. These can be either full technical
          papers (8-15 A4 pages) or can be position papers (2-4 A4
          pages) which might describe ongoing project work, national
          initiatives or report on related visualization events.
          Accepted papers will be included in the pre-printed workshop
          proceedings and invitations issued to authors of accepted
          papers to present their paper during the meeting.
          Invitations to submit revised versions for a book will
          depend on the quality of the contributions.

          Fourth EuroGraphics Workshop on Rendering

          CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
          Paris, France
          June 14-16, 1993

          AIMS AND SCOPE
           
          The series of the EG workshops on rendering has met with a
          growing success, and these workshops are being adopted as a
          forum of choice by the emerging "rendering community" in
          Europe and in the rest of the world.

          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.
