Dear colleagues,
this is a reminder that the deadline for submitting contributions
to the Computer Graphics International conference will be coming
up soon on November 14, 1997
The 1998 Computer Graphics International conference will be held in
Hannover, Germany, on 22nd June - 26th June.
A special focus of this conference will be the mutual interaction of
computer graphics and communications, GIS and satellite data assimi-
lation, analysis and visualization, as well as visual, spatial and
temporal digital libraries. In addition, short reports on work in
progress are invited for a poster session.
The selected papers, including those for poster sessions, will be
published in a proceedings book from the IEEE Computer Society Press.
Extended versions of the best papers (including those for poster
sessions) will be invited for further review and publication in
"The Visual Computer" journal and the "Journal of Visualization and
Computer Animation".
Detailed information is accessible on the World Wide Web at
http://www-c.informatik.uni-hannover.de/cgi98
For your convenience, a copy of the Call for Papers is attached below.
We would be very grateful, if you could also pass this message to
other potentially interested parties.

CGI '98
Hannover, Germany
June 22-26, 1998
CGI '98 is the 16th annual international conference on computer
graphics. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for
discussing both solutions to classical computer graphics issues and
new directions in human-computer interaction, virtual reality, real-
time animation in present and future communications and Internet
based applications. Previous conferences were held in the UK (1995),
Korea (1996), and Belgium (1997).
Organized by CGS and the University of Hannover, under the auspices
of the Minister President of Lower Saxony; in cooperation with the
Gesellschaft fuer Informatik and IFIP WG 5.10; and tentatively, ACM
SIGGRAPH, British Computer Society, Eurographics, IEEE TC Computer
Graphics and Virtual Reality Society.
Call for Papers
Papers presenting original research in computer graphics are being
sought. A special focus of CGI '98 will be applications in communi-
cations systems, GIS and satellite data assimilation, analysis and
visualization, as well as visual, spatial and temporal digital
libraries. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
Real Time Graphics
Multimedia and Telematics
Cyberspace Applications
Multimedia Modeling
3D Modelling from Camera Views
Computer Animation
Geometric and Solid Modeling
Virtual Worlds
Physically Based Modeling
Virtual Reality
Scientific Visualization
Rendering Techniques
Computational Geometry
Volume Visualization
Graphics Hardware Architecture
Data Compression
Satellite data assimilation
Geographic information systems
Digital libraries
Computer Vision
Computer Graphics and the Internet (VRML, Java, etc.)
Original unpublished papers of up to 15 pages, including figures,
are invited for technical review. In addition, short papers of up to
two pages on work in progress are invited for a poster session. To
submit a paper, send six hardcopies of double-spaced manuscripts in
English. The first part of the paper should include a title, an
abstract,keywords and phrases, author's name(s), title, affiliation,
complete mailing address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail
address, and signed statement of commitment that ``if the paper is
accepted, one of the authors will present it at the CG International
'98 Conference.''
Guidelines to be followed by the authors can be found on the WWW at:
http://www-c.informatik.uni-hannover.de/cgi98
The selected papers, including those for poster sessions, will be
published in a proceedings book from the IEEE Computer Society
Press.
Extended versions of the best papers (including those for poster
sessions) will be invited for further review and publication in the
"The Visual Computer" journal and the "Journal of Visualization and
Computer Animation".
Call for Tutorials/Courses
In addition to technical papers, proposals for half-day or full-day
tutorials/courses are welcomed. Suggested topics are those mentioned
in the Call for Papers.
To submit a proposal for a tutorial, send six copies of the proposal.
The cover page of the proposal should include a title, an indication
of the level of the tutorial (introductory, intermediate, advanced),
length of the tutorial (half or full-day), author's name(s), title,
affiliation, complete mailing address, phone number, fax number,
e-mail address.
The tutorial proposal must also include a one page description of the
course aims and the intended public, and an overview of the topics
covered in the tutorial (two page maximum). Guidelines that have to
be followed by the authors can also be found on the WWW page at:
http://www-c.informatik.uni-hannover.de/cgi98
Important Dates
All papers due November 14, 1997
Notice of acceptance with reviews January 30, 1998
Final revised manuscripts due February 20, 1998
Conference June 22-26, 1998
The conference will be held at the Copthorne Hotel in Hannover,
where rooms are reserved for the conference participants. The price
for a single room in this deluxe hotel, including breakfast, is
approximately DM 173. A less expensive hotel will also be arranged.
Hannover has its own airport and is also an important railway
junction in Germany.
CGI '98 plans to host a graphics hardware and software exhibition
and the Computer Animation Film Festival from Geneva.
