	    Graphics and Modelling in Science & Technology
	   = Third Luso-German Computer Graphics Meeting =
		27-28  June 1994 - Coimbra - Portugal
######################################################################


     The workshop covers a wide spectrum in Graphics and Modelling, from
their mathematical foundations to their scientific, technological, and
engineering applications.

     Computer graphics has become an important discipline within computer
science and engineering. Mathematical theories have been formulated
on the belief that the eye-brain system is better at recognizing and
interpreting visual representations than any others. This explains
why computer graphics methods and techniques are significantly used in
so many knowledge areas, e.g., engineering, medicine and so on.

     On the other hand, computer graphics, computer-aided design (CAD),
and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) have been the driving forces
behind the development of modelling schemes for  the geometry and the
shape of products. With the advent of geometric modellers a number of
technological problems were overcome, though others such as those
of conciliating geometry with technological information remain. Recent topics
as feature-based modelling and, more generally, product modelling have
come into use as a way to overcome the annoying lack of CAD/CAM
integration. Besides, the modelling environments have changed from single
user workplaces to distributed and concurrent systems, and new graphic
interaction techniques have been developed.

This is the third in a series of workshops following the Luso-German
Computer Graphics meetings, first of which took place in Lisbon, 1988,
and the second in Darmstadt, 1992.

     The workshop mainly intends to report on recent R&D advances in
Computer Graphics and Shape Modelling, as well as their applications.

     The workshop addresses ongoing or completed joint projects including
German-Portuguese Cooperation (like DELTA, ESPRIT, RACE, EUREKA, and
other European Programs).

     R&D contributions are expected, but not limited to:

	  - Projective Geometry and Computer Graphics
	  - Advanced Interaction Techniques
	  - Virtual Reality for Visualization and Modelling
	  - Visualization Techniques
	  - Computational Geometry in Design and Manufacture
	  - Feature-based Modelling
	  - Product Modelling
	  - New Modelling Techniques
	  - Design Theory and CAD Systems
	  - Concurrent Engineering
	  - Rapid Prototyping and Virtual Prototyping

     Contributions shall be in English.

     The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag,
series "Beitraege zur Graphischen Datenverarbeitung".

     The workshop will also offer many opportunities to demonstrate
systems on available equipment.
