In the recent years the workshop has been well established as a major international forum in exchanging experience and knowledge between people from universities, research and industry interested in the different aspects of rendering techniques. Main topics include (but are not restricted to): - Radiosity - Ray tracing - Illumination models - Colour, texture - Sampling, filtering, anti-aliasing - Parallel solutions for rendering Two special themes of this workshop are: - Illumination & rendering of participating media (volume objects, clouds, ...) - Rendering of architectural & CAD models (illumination simulation, real-time rendering, walkthroughs, handling of large datasets, ...) We encourage also papers describing on-going research and providing new techniques, perspectives and applications in the field. Discussions and evaluation of current techniques and future trends greatly contribute to the attractivity of the workshop. Thus, the presentation of the papers to the plenum will be followed by a discussion introduced by an expert of the field. Internationally renowned speakers from research and industry will also present invited papers. Contributions: Authors are requested to send five copies of an extended abstract (4-6 pages) or a full unpublished paper (ca. 10 pages) to the workshop office. Poster presentations are also possible. Please include your telephone, fax and e-mail address. Submissions missing the deadline will still be considered, but with a lower priority. Full versions of all papers will be distributed among the participants as workshop proceedings. Invitations to submit revised versions of the full papers to be published as a book will depend on the quality of the contributions. In order to better compare results of different techniques, a set of test databases will be made available via anonymous ftp. Schedule: 5 April 1994 Submission deadline 5 May 1994 Notification of acceptance for presentation 30 May 1994 Full-paper deadline for the workshop proceedings 13-15 June 1994 Workshop Organization: The workshop is organized by the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics in Darmstadt in association with Eurographics. The fee will be about 300 DM for EG-members (and 425 DM for non-members), including lunch, coffee breaks, and workshop proceedings. As social event we plan a visit in Heidelberg. A presentation of the research group of Darmstadt (with three different institutions and about 130 staff researchers in Germany, USA and Portugal) including demos and information about activities will also be organized.
