CONFERENCE THEME
----------------

An unstoppable revolution  is  underway, made  possible by the 
technological developments that enable  computing with visuals.
This new revolution is about real time access and sharing of digital
information consisting not only of texts and sounds but powerful
realistic or imagined visuals and explorable 3D worlds, enabling
truly interactive multiparticipant, multisensory, multimodal and
multimedia communication. The  next generation of computers will
build in audio, visual and 3D graphics processing capabilities at
the core level. This international conference in India will bring
together renowned world experts both from the academic and industrial
fields,  providing participants  with  the unique  opportunity  of
acquiring exciting technological know-how.

The primary theme of the conference is "Visual Computing" covering
all  aspects  and  domains -- 3D Geometry, Image-based Techniques,
Animation, Virtual Environments, User-interfaces, Web-based Graphics,
Hardware and Multimedia.  ICVC99  is structured  around a number of
theme programmes, with equal emphasis on technical content in each.

ABOUT THE LOCATION -- GOA
-------------------------

Goa shines brightly on the tourist map of the world. Not only does it 
offer the Sun, Sea and the Sand - but gleaming whitewashed churches with 
Portuguese-style facades pepper the hillsides, rice paddies and dense 
coconut palm groves, while crumbling forts guard rocky capes and estuary 
entrances.

Goa's 105 km coastline with it's 40 beaches, broken up with idyllic palm 
fringed beaches, pose a delight for swimmers, anglers, watersport buffs 
and sunbathers. Aside from all these - Goa is also known for the oldest 
church in Asia coupled with ancient Indian temples which present an 
amalgam of cultures seldom found anywhere else. Goa's well known for its
exotic fresh spices and its cuisine is well known for it's spice and variety 
in every corner of the world.


VENUE (tentative)

Cidade de Goa Beach Resort is a luxury beach resort designed like a
Portugese Hill town in a Goan setting. It is built in 5 split levels
immediately overlooking the sea and an exclusive beach private in character.
Bordering the beach are 22 acres of extensive lawns with nature trails,
hammocks, two garden restaurants, tennis courts and an exclusive health
farm. The ambience is ideal for a relaxed conference or a holiday.
