We are proud to announce the third Central European Seminar on Computer Graphics for students to be held in Budmerice (right before SCCG '99) in April, 1999. This international seminar is a continuation of CESCG '97, CESCG '98, and a set of very successful Joint Seminars, which previously have been held in cooperation between some computer graphics groups in Central Europe. CESCG is organized by the Institute of Computer Graphics, Vienna University of Technology, and the Department of Computer Graphics and Image Processing, Comenius University, in Bratislava.

We are pleased to invite the following groups (in alphabetical order) to participate by sending students to the seminar:

Austria	Graz		Institute for Computer Graphics, University of Technology
	Linz		Department of Information Systems (GUP), Johannes Kepler University
	Vienna		Institute of Computer Graphics, Vienna University of Technology
Croatia	Zagreb		Department of Electronics, Microelectronics, Computer and Intelligent Systems, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb
Czech Republic	Brno		Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Technical University of Brno
			Department of Software Systems and Communications, Masaryk University
	Ostrava		Department of Computer Science, Technical University of Ostrava
	Plzen		Computer Graphics Group at the Department of Computer Science, University of West Bohemia
	Prague		Computer Graphics Group at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University
Hungary	Budapest		Computer Graphics Group at the Department of Process Control, Technical University of Budapest
Slovakia	Bratislava		Department of Computer Graphics and Image Processing, Comenius University
			Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Slovak University of Technology
Slovenia	Ljubljana		Laboratory of Computer Graphics and Multimedia, Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana
	Maribor		Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Artificial Intelligence, Institute of Computer Science, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Maribor

Initially we invite all the groups mentioned above to send two students to give a talk at CESCG '99. Also, participants who'd just like to attend the presentations and discussions are kindly invited. Please note that participation must be announced via email to cescg#cg.tuwien.ac.at until January 13, 1999 - otherwise an active participation is not possible!

The tight restriction of two talks per group is due to the increased number of invited groups and due to the two-days schedule of the seminar. However, it might be the case that not all of the invited groups are able to send two students. In this case additional free slots for participation would be available after the participation announcement deadline. Groups interested to send more than two students should clearly state this within the email-announcement of participation so that their wish can be taken into account when compiling the preliminary program.

Aims and Scope of CESCG

The main idea of CESCG is to bring undergraduate students, who are interested in computer graphics, together across borders of universities and countries. The seminar is also intended to be an international event, where students can present their excellent work to other students. Participating students are studying computer science for at least five or six semesters, thus expertise in giving a talk is fortunately a present qualification which guarantees a lot of high-quality presentations.

Of course the overall topic of the CESCG is computer graphics. Specifically the following fields are covered by the seminar:

• Virtual reality
• Scientific visualization
• Rendering and global illumination
• Animation, multimedia, and internet technologies

Topics of CESCG '99

Each year one subtopic in the field of computer graphics is chosen to be the main scope of the seminar. The contributions should fit into this field such that at least some continuity can be provided at the contents level.

This year we will concentrate on "Recent Developments in Computer Graphics".

Outline of the Seminar

CESCG will be held in Budmerice on April 26th and 27th, 1999. Students have enough time to arrive at Budmerice on the first day in time, even from the far locations. There are approximately twenty talks (including time for discussions) scheduled for both days. The program of the seminar is divided into morning and afternoon sessions. Time for lunch and coffee breaks is reserved as well. After the first day of seminar, there is social program in the evening, e.g. going to a pub, and a possibility to sleep in Budmerice.

Contributions

The seminar language is English. The contributions are submitted in HTML and some directly printable format for printed proceedings (device-independent PostScript or PDF; no source like TeX or even Word). To ensure some typographic quality of the seminar proceedings, all submissions have to observe the guidelines for authors available at http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/studentwork/CESCG/guidelines/. LaTeX 2e class implementing these guidelines and Word97 template can be downloaded from this web-page.

To get an impression about how the HTML pages shall look like see the `CESCG - Web Proceedings' at http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/studentwork/CESCG/proceedings.html. It is an index to previous CESCG contributions and results of previous Joint Seminars.

Note that only those contributions are included in any form of seminar proceedings, that conform to the guidelines specified above.

Participation and Dates

To prepare a successful seminar, it is necessary to coordinate several groups in different countries. It is obvious that this can only work if all the participating groups stick to the schedule of the seminar. The schedule for CESCG '99 is as follows:
