Item A Functional Approach to Picture Manipulation(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1984) Arya, KA functional approach is used to investigate the creation and manipulation of pictures as hierarchical entities. A set of useful functions is designed and used in a series of illustrative examples written in the functional programming language HOPE. A functional animation system incorporating these ideas is then discussed.Item Report on the 7th Meeting of ISO/TC97/SC5/WG2 - Computer Graphics June 1984(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1984) R Gallop, JItem EUROGRAPHICS 84 10-14 September 1984, Copenhagen, Denmark(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1984)Item IMPROVING COMPUTER GRAPHICS TOOLS FOR ARCHITECTS(The Eurographics Association, 1984) Ekeberg, Oerjan; Engblom, Carl-Henrik; Kjelldahl, Lars; Lundequist, Jerker; Thörnblom, Ingvar; K. BO and H.A. TUCKERDuring the last ten years a lot of work has been done in architectural applications using computers and especially computer graphics. It is however obvious that these new tools have not been fully accepted by architects in common. We think that one of the main reasons for this is the poor facilities for the interaction between the user and the machine. In our project at KTH in Stockholm we use modern workstations with bitmapped techniques to study the possibilities to design good interactive facilities. Ideas for interactive techniques are gathered together with architects and are implemented on a Xerox LISP machine. The most interesting and important techniques are studied in experiments that are set up together with behavioural scientists.Item Eurographics Report 1980 - 1984(Eurographics Association, 1984) EG ChairItem EDITORIAL(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1984) Enderle, Gunter; Duce, DavidItem COMPUTER GRAPHICS DEVELOPMENT IN EUROPE(The Eurographics Association, 1984) Marechal, Guy; Matthys, Jan; K. BO and H.A. TUCKEREurope is becoming aware that a political determination to collaborate is required, if it wants to attain the position it could claim on the basis of its research achievements. This is especially true in the field of Computer Graphics. The program ESPRIT is hopefully a decisive step in this direction.Item Report on the ANSC X3H3 Meeting at Carmel, Oct lst-5th ’84(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1984) Arnold, D.B.Item THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS CURRICULA FOR DESIGN EDUCATION(The Eurographics Association, 1984) King, Robin G.; K. BO and H.A. TUCKERWith the imminent availability of low cost, high resolution computer graphics systems suitable for visual and graphic arts applications, design education must now come to terms with radical changes in design methodology and stylistic content. This paper explores some of the more critical problems facing design educators and in particular those which will force significant departures from current curricula. A case study is explored and recommendations given for program design and new teaching strategies.Item Report on Dialogue Specification Tools(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1984) Green, MarkIn this report we have presented some of the issues pertaining to the notations used in UIMSs. At the present time there are a small number of implemented UIMSs, so there is some experience to draw upon. This is the first workshop of this nature where there has been a significant number of participants with implementation experience. This experience seemed to raise more issues than it resolved. The conclusion that can be drawn from this is there is still a considerable amount of work to be done in notations for UIMSs.One of the major problems encountered by this working group was the inability to compare different UIMSs. The systems discussed in this group have been used to produce user interfaces for different application areas, with different interaction styles and requirements. This makes it very difficult to compare the ease of use (for the user interface designer), and the quality of the resulting user interface. This problem would be partially solved by constructing a standard set of user interface problems. Each of the UIMSs could be used to solve these problems, and the results used as a means of comparison. This set of problems could be viewed as a benchmark test for user interface management systems. Along with developing the problems, techniques for measuring ease of use and the quality of the user interface must also be developed.
