Workshop Proposal to Define Future Research Areas in Computer Graphics

Greenberg（0946385）本次研讨会旨在确定计算机图形学和可视化的未来研究方向。在过去的二十年中，计算环境在处理能力、并行化、带宽、存储和计算机体系结构方面发生了根本性的变化。最近，随着触摸屏显示器的引入和大面积屏幕的可用性，新的用户界面现在成为可能。然而，似乎没有任何长期的研究策略可以与未来的计算环境兼容。研讨会汇集了计算机图形学的领导者和有远见的人，以及来自密切相关领域的创新者，以定义更广泛，更基本，更长期的研究领域。该研讨会将建立一套适当的研究挑战，以帮助指导美国国家科学基金会完成其使命。广泛的主题和未解决的问题将被确定，每一个都有一组具体的目标。研讨会由：？詹姆斯·福利教授？史蒂芬·弗莱明佐治亚理工学院电信系主任？唐纳德·p·格林伯格教授？雅各布·舒尔曼计算机图形学教授，康奈尔大学计算机图形学项目主任？帕特·汉拉汉教授？斯坦福大学工程学院中国电机工程学院计算机图形学实验室佳能美国教授？杰西卡·哈金斯教授？计算机科学与机器人，卡内基梅隆大学机器人研究所副主任，匹兹堡实验室新迪斯尼研究所兼职主任在为期两天的研讨会期间，每个参与者将被分配在第一天做一个简短的演讲。对于每个分领域，将选出一名参与者，并负责记录总结结果。在研讨会结束时，四位主要研究者将编辑和汇编结果。

Greenberg (0946385)This Workshop is to define the future research directions for computer graphics and visualization. Over the past two decades, computing environments have radically changed in terms of processing power, parallelization, bandwidth, storage, and computer architectures. More recently, with the introduction of touch panel displays and the availability of large area screens, new user interfaces are now possible. Yet there does not appear to be any long-term research strategy which is compatible for future computing environments. According the workshop is bringing together computer graphics leaders and visionaries, as well as innovators from closely related fields, to define broader, more fundamental, longer term research areas. The workshop will establish an appropriate set of research challenges to help guide the National Science Foundation in their mission. A broad range of topics and unsolved problems will be identified, each with a set of specific goals.The workshop is being organized by:? Professor James Foley ? Stephen Fleming Chair in Telecommunications, Georgia Institute of Technology? Professor Donald P. Greenberg ? Jacob Schurman Professor of Computer Graphics, Director, Program of Computer Graphics, Cornell University? Professor Pat Hanrahan ? Canon USA Professor, Computer Graphics Laboratory, CSEE Dept., School of Engineering, Stanford University? Professor Jessica Hodgins ? Computer Science and Robotics, Associate Director for the Faculty in the Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University, part-time Director of the new Disney Research, Pittsburgh LaboratoryDuring the two-day workshop, each participant will be assigned the responsibility of making a brief presentation during the first day. For each sub-area one participant will be selected and will have the responsibility for the documentation of the summary findings. At the conclusion of the workshop, the four primary investigators will edit and compile the results.
