About this book

This volume presents the proceedings of COMPUTER GRAPHICS INTERNATIONAL '93 (COl '93), the Eleventh International Conference of the Computer Graphics Society (CGS), COl '93 has been held in Lausanne, Switzerland from June 21-25,1993 under the theme Communicating with Virtual Worlds. Since its foundation in 1983, COl conference has continued to attract high qUality research articles in all aspects of computer graphics and its applications. Previous conferences in this series were held in Japan (1983-1987), in Switzerland (1988), in the United Kingdom (1989), in Singapore (1990), in the United States (1991), and in Japan (1992). Future CG International conferences are planned in Australia (1994), and in the United Kingdom (1995). COS also organizes each year Computer Animation in Geneva, an international workshop and Computer­ Generated Film Festival. Two new CGS events are planned in 1993: Pacific Graphics '93 in Seoul and MMM '93, an International Conference on Multi-Media MOdeling in Singapore.
