Call for Papers (PostScript)

Deadline for Submission: July 5, 1995 * Closed *

Graphics and visualization are prominent application domains of constraint systems. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners to access the state of the art in this field and discuss future research directions. The workshop will be one day long, and will take place in the same location as the main conference. The technical program includes two invited talks by leaders in the area, a panel discussion, and presentations of contributed papers. Facilities will be available for presenting audio-visual material.

Topics of Interest include:

• Constraint-based graphical user interfaces in databases, AI, human-computer interaction, graph drawing, software engineering, hardware design, and multimedia.
• Programming environments for constraint-based graphics and visualization.
• Algorithms for constraint-based graphics.
• Characterization of important classes of constraints in graphics and visualization, and complexity of solving.
• Approaches to underconstrained/overconstrained systems of constraints (e.g., constraint hierarchies).
• Formal specification of constraint-based visual languages for automatic or user-defined visualization.
• Constraint-based techniques for interactive graphics.
• Declarative and/or visual methods for 2D and 3D visualization and animation.

Authors are invited to submit electronically papers (in English, at most 18 pages) or short papers (in English, at most 8 pages). Simultaneous submission to other conferences or journals is not allowed. In addition to papers describing original research work, surveys and position papers are sought. Submissions should be in the form of a single uuencoded compressed PostScript file sent by email to ifc@cs.brown.edu, accompanied by a separate email message with the following information on the paper: title, kind of submission, author(s), affiliation(s), and address of the contact author. Please make sure that your PostScript file can be previewed with Ghostview and is printable on a standard PostScript printer. If electronic submission is not possible, please contact one of the chairs to make special arrangements, at least one week before the deadline.
