FORTH EUROGRAPHICS ANIMATION AND SIMULATION WORKSHOP
September 4 - 5, 1993
 Barcelona, Spain

Call for contributions


AIMS AND SCOPE

Image analysis and synthesis are essential tools for scientific knowledge,
technological production, communication and artistic productions. Although
works on animation exist since the very birth of image synthesis, it is
today that a real general interest in the field of animation is to
be expected, along with a diversification and an actual development of
concepts and techniques. The goals of this workshop are to sum up the
current concepts and techniques for motion analysis, synthesis and control
and evaluate the major fields of  animation applications.

The main topics are:
- Motion synthesis  with collisions, deformations, fractures, living
behaviour...)
- Motion generation optimization
- Langages and grammars for animation
- Motion analysis
- Motion perception
- Visualization process for animation
- Animation control
- Programming dynamical phenomena
- Electronic Prototyping (CAD for dynamic objects, Robotics...)
- Help for Knowledge (dynamic phenomena ...)
- Artistic Creation
- Virtual Realities
