   Spencer Thomas of U. of Utah "The Alpha_1 CAD System"

   Michael Wahrman of Symbolics

   Turner Whitted of the U. of N. Carolina

     The workshop will be structured to facilitate in-depth discussions  of
technical  issues, and will have presentations in a number of formats, with
ample time for questions and responses.  There will be a computer  graphics
film and video presentation at a banquet.

     In order to cover  the  extra  expenses  entailed  in  providing  high
qualiity  visual  presentations,  the  registration fee will be $200, which
will include a reception and proceedings (both printed and on video  tape).
The hotel rate for this conference is a special $65/night for either single
or double occupancy.

      The intent of this workshop is to give participants an opportunity to
have  high-quality  technical  exchanges with other active and knowledgable
workers  in  the  field.  Thus,  to  ensure  active  participation  by  ALL
attendees,  applicants  must submit a brief statement of qualifications and
areas  of  graphics  expertise.   For  further  details   and   application
