SIGGRAPH '91 Workshops Call for Participation

	SIGGRAPH '91 Workshops Call for Participation

Workshop Overview

Workshops at the annual SIGGRAPH conference provide one- or two-day forums
for structured, but lively interchange of ideas among a small group of
people about issues important to the computer graphics community. Issues
may range from theoretical problems, to emerging standards, to specialized
applications areas.

Though the workshops themselves are by definition able to accomodate a
relatively small number of participants, the results of the workshop
discussions are reported to other conference attendees through
presentation and interaction at a special interest group session or panel,
and to the graphics community at large in "Computer Graphics", published
by the Association for Computing Machinery.

You are invited to submit a position paper on the workshop topic listed
below to the workshop organizer by May 17, 1991.  Guidelines for
presenting the position papers, and a detailed description on how the
workshops are structured can be obtained from the organizers, or from the
workshop committee chair, also listed below.  Please review these
guidelines carefully before submitting position papers.  The organizers
will then select up to 25 participants for the workshop from the papers
submitted.

SIGGRAPH '91 will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada from Sunday, July 28,
through Friday, August 2, 1991 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The SIGGRAPH '91 workshops committee and organizers look forward to
receiving your position paper for consideration.

Workshop #2 - Call for Participation

Computer Graphics in the Network Environment

28-29 July 1991

Because of current network limitations, many distributed computer graphics
applications, designed for or adapted to existing networks, compromise
function or interactivity.  The premise of this workshop is that future
distributed application paradigms and the deployment of new network
technologies are closely connected, and both should be designed with this
relationship in mind.  Participants will discuss current models of
distributed computer graphics/video for local and wide-area networks and
their limitations, and models for future applications based on high
bandwidth networks.  Other topics are likely to include data models,
future requirements for network availability and reliability, new network
protocols, and developments in hardware technologies for network protocol
handling, image compression, and HDTV.

paper, contact the workshop organizer:
