          Other submitted papers

          We also welcome other material which may not be ready or 
          appropriate for publication. This is an opportunity to
          describe an application that makes interesting or novel use
          of computer graphics, or to report the early stages of a
          research project. It is only necessary to provide an
          abstract of your paper by the closing date of 1st December
          1992. We will however encourage you to expand this further
          for publication in the conference proceedings. Each paper
          accepted will entitle the authors(s) to a single person-day

          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.
