          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.

                                                   (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

          09.30 A View of Visualization by Ken Brodlie

          This talk will give a general overview of scientific
          visualization, describing how it has grown out of the
          established field of computer graphics.  It will discuss the
          underlying methodology that has emerged, and will review the
          main software systems that have been developed.  Finally,
          the limitations of existing systems will be pointed out, and
          some pointers to the future given.

          10.15 AGOCG Visualisation Support and Future Activities
                by Steve Larkin

            As the UK academic community in general were taking an
          interest in the emerging software for visualisation AGOCG
          provided funding for a Visualisation Support Post over an
          initial period ending in April 1993. 
            The aim during this period is to raise the awareness and
          promote the use of visualisation systems throughout the UK. 
          The talk will report on the activities which have been
          organised and will outline the forthcoming events for the
          remainder of 1992/3. 
            Any suggestions from the audience during the talk for
          additional activities and areas of interest are also
          encouraged.

          14.20 The Good (Reality), the Bad (Sampled Data Set), and
          the Ugly (Contour Plot) by John Szymanski

          UNIRAS offers both the expert and the non-expert user a wide
          range of powerful tools for the manipulation and
          presentation of discrete data sets. Particularly convenient
          for the beginner or non-expert is the fact that the system
          is easy to use and has a set of reasonable defaults
          incorporated to allow the automatic production of displays
          with the minimum of operator intervention. Implicit within
          UNIRAS, however, is the assumption that the data is broadly
          `reasonable' and that the default values will cope with most
          cases that are likely to arise. This paper examines some of
          the dangers facing the non-expert user who supplies UNIRAS
          with a two-dimensional data set of variable sampling density

          and data quality. The particular application area addressed
          is that of archaeological site investigation, where
          particularly `interesting' data sets arise not only from
          topographical studies of the site, but also from geophysical
          methods which probe beneath the surface and provide indirect
          evidence of buried features. 

          14.40 Contour Mapping at Sea by Andrew Cormack

          RVS supports the NERC fleet of scientific research vessels
          including Sun computer systems carried on the ships. These
          systems are used to collect and archive data from scientific
          and navigational instruments and to provide rapid
          visualisation of the data enabling the scientists on board
          to identify areas of particular interest.

          Two dimensional line contour plots were first produced
          during the EEC North Sea Project in 1988/9 using the UniMap
          package in a 'batch' mode. These were found to be very
          useful and the system has since been developed to improve
          its speed and facilities. The contouring program now calls
          Uniras library routines to generate line or colour-fill maps
          in two or three dimensions as specified on a series of
          menus. Values for the maps are read directly from the data
          files to which instruments are logged thus allowing contour
          maps to be generated in near real-time. 

          Contour maps can be generated from any data collected over a
          surface such as a vertical or horizontal plane or, for
          example, a constant temperature surface. Time series data
          can also be presented in the same form. Recent examples
          include surveys of ocean eddies and fronts, plankton blooms,
          river outflows and tidal currents.             ... continues

          EXHIBITION
          The theme for the 1992 UUUG Conference Exhibition is
          hardware, with a number of commercial vendors demonstrating
          workstations, X-Terminals and Plotters. The exhibition runs
          parallel with the main session on Wednesday 30th Spetember
          and provides an informal opportunity to discuss and see the
          latest technology with a number of leading graphics vendors.

          GENERAL INFORMATION The conference will take place in the
          Social Science building on the Nottingham University campus.
          The accommodation is in the Hugh Stewart hall of residence,
          which is immediately adjacent. Maps of the campus, and
          approaches to it from the main roads will be sent with the
          booking confirmations. There is a large car park between the

          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.
