IN COOPERATION WITH: The Geometric Modelling Society and the Institute of 
Mathematics and its Applications.

AIMS: This series continues to provide a unique forum for the presentation and 
discussion of work on CSG techniques and applications.  For this third 
conference, we aim to emphasize the contribution that ideas from CSG are making 
to solid modelling and CADCAM as a whole, in particular the way in which 
techniques based on point-sets yield benefits such as robustness.

TOPICS include but are not limited to: Theoretical foundations of modelling; 
Creation of point-sets, including deformations, blends, Minkowski sums and fill 
operations; Multi-dimensional and cellular models; Feature representation and 
recognition; Conversion between representations; Techniques for rendering and 
interaction; Robust modelling software and hardware; Applications in 
manufacturing and elsewhere; Modelling interfaces and protocols.

SUBMISSIONS may be research papers or reviews.  Note that, in contrast to 
previous conferences in this series, FULL PAPERS and not abstracts are required 
initially.  Papers should not exceed 4000 words or 15 pages of proceedings.  
All contributions will be refereed by the Programme Committee, and minor 
revisions may be requested.  The Co-chairs will select the final programme from 
the referees' reports.  The deadline for submissions is:

                       FULL PAPERS BY 30 SEPTEMBER 1997

Contributors should expect to receive referees' reports by early November, and 
camera-ready copy (incorporating revisions) will be required by December 31.  
Submission implies a commitment to present your paper in Winchester; early 
travel plans and authorizations are suggested.  Presenters will receive a 
discount on registration, which will be at the same rates as CSG 96.

The CRC format is available from the organizers at the address below, and will 
in any case be sent to the authors of accepted papers.  The Proceedings should 
be available at the conference, and will be published in hardback, uniform with 
the proceedings of CSG 94 and CSG 96 (available at reduced prices to mark this 
call).  For further and more up-to-date information, please see our WWW site:
