Overview


The 1998 Eurographics UK Conference is taking place at the University of Leeds. There is a very full programme of invited talks, tutorials and contributed papers - these being a mix of refereed papers and shorter presentations. This year the number of contributed papers is so high that we are running two parallel streams.


Invited Speakers

Our four invited speakers are making major contributions to the development of our subject in the UK:


Tutorials

The first day of the conference (25th March) is given over to tutorials. There is a choice in the morning between hands-on 3D Internet graphics with VRML, and medical visualization; and in the afternoon between hands-on IRIS Explorer, and web design.


Contributed Papers

This year - for the first time - the conference contains two styles of paper - refereed papers, and shorter presentations. These will be held on 26th and 27th March.


Rendering Session - Conference within a Conference

This year - also for the first time - there is a conference within a conference: two sessions devoted specially to Rendering.


Social

We hope you will also enjoy the social side of the conference. This year's special event is a dinner at Tetley's Brewery Wharf, with a chance to see how the English pub has developed over the past centuries.


Accommodation

Accommodation is provided on-campus, in Charles Morris Hall, close by the lecture theatres.


Leeds

Leeds is - perhaps surprisingly - an interesting city to visit. It is fast becoming the financial centre of the north (of England), and the city is today an exciting place to be - and of course is a short distance from the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.


School of Computer Studies at the University of Leeds

The event is hosted by the School of Computer Studies at the University of Leeds. Distributed multimedia systems are a major focus within the School of Computer Studies with the themes of the conference reflecting some of the current research interests of the School.


Eurographics

The event is organised by the UK Chapter of Eurographics. Eurographics itself is the European professional organisation for computer graphics.

The Conference Proceedings will be published by "Eurographics UK Chapter". Each delegate will receive a copy of the proceedings, and further copies will be available for sale after the event.
