2. INTRODUCTION TO MOTIF (John Wexler and Bob McGonigle)
Wednesday 28 October, at the University of York.
This tutorial is a technical course, based on courseware
developed at the Computing Services of the University of
Edinburgh, in conjunction with IXI Ltd of Cambridge. The
tutorial is aimed at people who will program or port
applications to use Motif and X, or people who need to know
how to do that even if they will not be doing it themselves.
The prerequisites for the course are familiarity with Unix,
C programming and user experience of a WIMP interface.
... continues
------------------------- page 13 --------------------------
EGUK tutorials ...
The tutorial will introduce the basic Motif concepts, and
will describe the details of callbacks and resources. Basic
widgets, such as MainWindow and ScrolledList, and the use of
PulldownMenus, will be covered. A guide to using the Motif
documentation will also be given. A practical to illustrate
these basic concepts will be run. This is the first of two
Motif tutorials in the Eurographics programme.The second
tutorial, BEYOND THE MOTIF BASICS, will be held in early
1993, and will continue from the first, covering further
widgets, and mechanisms such as actions and translations.
JOHN WEXLER works at the Edinburgh Regional Computing
Centre. His special interests are operating systems,
concurrent systems, and software engineering. His is the
author of "Concurrent Programming in occam 2".

3. COLOUR PERCEPTION, MODELLING AND DISPLAY
(Lindsay Macdonald)
Friday 20 November 1992, at Cosenor's House, Abingdon.
This tutorial will cover both theoretical and practical
aspects of the perception and use of colour in computer
graphics and imaging applications. The morning sessions will
provide an overview of how we see, organise and model
colour, with reference to recent research into colour
appearance modelling. The afternoon sessions will deal with
displays and printing processes, with practical techniques

for calibration and colour control, plus guidelines for
making the best use of colour for the presentation of
information in displays. The tutorial comprises four
modules, as follows:
- Light, colour and human vision
- Colour appearance and modelling
- Reproduction of colour in display and print
- Guidelines for using colour effectively in displays

LINDSAY MACDONALD is a Senior Consultant at Crosfield
Electronics Ltd., the world's leading supplier of electronic
pre-press systems for high quality reproduction of images in
print. His interests lie in colour modelling, computer
graphics, image processing and user interface design and he
is the holder of 16 patents in these fields. He was project
manager of the CARISMA research project in collaboration
with Loughborough University, supported by the DTI under the
IEATP programme. He is also a member of the BSI committee
shadowing the development of ISO 9241 on the Ergonomics of
Visual Display Terminals and was invited recently by the EC
to serve as a technical evaluator for proposals in Esprit
III. He is a member of both BCS and IEE.

Third Eurographics Workshop on Object-Oriented Graphics
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Champery, Switzerland, 28-30 October 1992
Aims and Scope:
At past workshops it has been noted that people in the
graphics community are addressing a wide variety of
problems: surface modeling, rendering, animation,
interaction, multiple media, constraints, etc. At the same
time, it has also been noted that people share similar
concerns in the areas of software reuse, extensibility and
maintenance. This workshop will be an effort to identify
such common concerns and to devise solutions that benefit a
wide spectrum of research domains within the interactive
graphics community. The goal of the workshop is to outline a
common platform, based on a set of object-oriented
... continues
------------------------- page 18 --------------------------
EG workshop "Object-Oriented Graphics" ...
primitives, for the support of graphics applications. To
this end, each submission should be motivated by at least
one of the following questions:
1. If my programming environment were to provide an
object-oriented platform, what kind of support would I ask
from it for my particular domain of interest?
2. As a designer of an object-oriented platform, how would
it support object-oriented graphics?
Here, the term object-oriented platform should be taken in a
broad sense; it may encompass any kind of functionality to
support graphics applications, even non-graphic primitives
such as support for persistent objects, concurrency, etc.
The following non-exhaustive list provides some typical
issues that could be discussed:
... continues
------------------------- page 19 --------------------------
EG workshop "Object-Oriented Graphics" ...
- support of reuse and extensibility in graphics systems,
- concurrency and distribution support for graphics
applications,
- standards for data exchange such as geometric primitives,
scripts, sound and video,
- the integration of constraints in graphics systems,
- the binding of input/output activities to objects and user
interaction,
- encapsulation as a mechanism for interoperability of
graphics applications,
- object-oriented "wrapping" of existing graphics kernels.
... continues
------------------------- page 20 --------------------------
EG workshop "Object-Oriented Graphics" ...
Full Papers:
Please submit 4 copies of papers (10-20 single sided pages,
200 word abstract) for review by the programme committee.
Accepted papers will be reproduced in the workshop
proceedings. Invitations to submit revised versions for a
book (in the EurographicSeminars Series of Springer) will
depend on the quality of the contributions. Shorter position
papers (1-2 pages) may be accepted according to their
relevance to the workshop. Questions concerning the
suitability of papers should be addressed to the organizers.

Workshop Format:
The workshop will be limited to 60 participants. To
encourage discussion, at least two types of presentations
are foreseen: 1) full paper presentations and 2)
presentations of the results from small group discussions.
Equipment for document and transparency preparation will be
made available. The results of the workshop may also be
reproduced in the book if the participants and editors feel
they are appropriate.

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.
