    Report on the EEC Workshop on Graphics Certification Defining a Device Interface for Certification Miltenberg/Darmstadt, FRG25-28 April 1982
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1982) Brodlie, K.W.; Pfaff, G.E.
    The outcome of the Miltenberg meeting shows that a practical method of certification by testing (falsification) can be developed, given a reasonable amount of time and effort. It is based on semiautomatic comparison at the "device" interface of a candidate implementation against a so-called reference implementation. A prerequisite for this method is the availability of a number of isolated simple basic facilities of the candidate implementation which have been verified by pictorial testing and by testing through operator actions.To permit semi-automatic comparison, a format for describing graphical output and input items and their associated properties must be defined. The workshop produced an outline design for such a format, which can be applied at any interface within GKS at which testing might be desirable.

    Principles and Applications of Computer Graphics in Medicine
    (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2006) Vidal, Franck; Bello, F.; Brodlie, K.W.; John, N.W.; Gould, D.; Phillips, R.; Avis, N.J.
    The medical domain provides excellent opportunities for the application of computer graphics, visualization and virtual environments, with the potential to help improve healthcare and bring benefits to patients. This survey paper provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in this exciting field. It has been written from the perspective of both computer scientists and practising clinicians and documents past and current successes together with the challenges that lie ahead. The article begins with a description of the software algorithms and techniques that allow visualization of and interaction with medical data. Example applications from research projects and commercially available products are listed, including educational tools; diagnostic aids; virtual endoscopy; planning aids; guidance aids; skills training; computer augmented reality and use of high performance computing. The final section of the paper summarizes the current issues and looks ahead to future developments.
