Thalmann, University of Geneva, Switzerland Mr. Sakae Uno, IBM Japan, Japan Mr. James VanLoo, Sun Microsystems, USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- SCOPE The goal of the Symposium is to discuss future standardization activities in all aspects of the functional specifications, formats and interfaces used for or directly supporting interaction with and presentation of, information, including but not limited to: - computer graphics, - images and image processing, - single media, including animation, audio and video, and - multiple media. These recommendations are expected to include: - areas where new standards could be developed; - areas that are not yet suitable for standardization; - supporting areas (such as models,compression techniques and communication protocols) where new standards could be adopted. Participation will be by invitation only based on a submitted position paper. All accepted papers will appear in the Symposium Proceedings published by Eurographics. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The workshop will be patterned after the two successful workshops that launched the last round of formal International Standards activities in computer graphics: the 1974 workshop at NBS (now NIST) in the US organized by Jim Foley and Ira Cotton on the Potential of Graphics Standards and the 1976 workshop sponsored by IFIP WG5.2 and convened by Richard Guedj in Seillac, France to consider the Methodology of Graphics Standards. The SIGGRAPH Graphics Standards Planning Committee (GSPC) was formed at the first of these workshops. Among those attending the second workshop were William Newman, Tom Sancha, Martin Newell, Jose Encarnaçao, Jim Foley, Bert Herzog, Alan Kay and Nick Negroponte. Taken together, these two workshops resulted in the formation of the first ISO committee to develop computer graphics standards and in the work that led first to the GKS International Standard and later to the PHIGS International Standard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VENUE Set in the tranquil Virginia countryside, the Airlie Conference Center and the surrounding 3,000 acre campus provide a facility conducive to the conduct of successful meetings. The Airlie Center is located near Warrenton, Virginia, 50 miles southwest of Washington, DC, 30 minutes from Dulles International Airport, and 1 hour from National Airport. For more information visit their web site at: http://www.airlie.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contributed papers identifying opportunities where new standards within the scope of the Symposium should be adopted, identifying areas where standardization would be harmful, or describing practices or methods for the effective development of timely and useful standards are solicited. Both papers describing recent practice and experience as well as those proposing new developments are welcome. By "standards" we mean both formal or de-jure standards developed by internationally accredited organizations (ISO, IEC, ITU, etc) as well as less formal standards or specifications developed by Consortia, trade organizations or other entities (IETF, W3C, etc.) Submission Procedure -------------------- Original unpublished papers of up to 20 pages (single-spaced, 12 point, including figures, tables and references) are invited. Manuscripts must be written in English. The first part of the paper should include a title, an abstract, keywords, and author's information (name, title, affiliation, address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address). All papers will be reviewed carefully by the International Program Committee members and by external reviewers. Contributed papers should be submitted ftp (preferable), as an HTML URL or by e-mail): e-mail submissions: WSIGpapers@globalcollaboration.org ftp submissions: ftp://globalcollaboration.org/WSIG Please follow this procedure: ftp globalcollaboration.org username: anonymous password: cd /WSIG put Acceptable formats are plain text, HTML, MS Word and PDF. In any case, you should send an email to WSIGpapers@globalcollaboration.org with the title of the paper, the authors with affiliation, the contact author, and either the URL or the filename used for ftp. Important Dates --------------- Submission deadline: 15 March 1999 Notification of acceptance: 1 April 1999 Revised papers due: 15 April 1999 Symposium: 3-5 May 1999 For more information, please contact: Dr. George S.
