Hoover,
We are planning an important event to be held in March, in
a significant application area for colour vision and colour science.
I would be much obliged if you would circulate the following to
members of CVNet and any others who may be interested.
Thanks for your assistance,
Lindsay MacDonald

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
International Colour Management Forum
Colour management technology has reached an important point in its
development, where the first cohort of standards are now in place, based
on the work of the CIE and ICC over the past five years. All the major
computer operating system manufacturers now provide some support for
colour management, and most vendors of colour imaging equipment are now
aware of the need to provide suitable facilities. But many issues
remain over extending the model to include colour appearance, viewing
conditions and gamut mapping, and to make it work well for practical
systems. More challenging still is how to extend colour management to
other colour imaging domains outside the graphic arts, including
Internet and multimedia displays, motion pictures and digital
television.
The Colour & Imaging Institute will host an International Colour
Management Forum on Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th March, 1999. This
will coincide with a meeting in Derby of the International Color
Consortium (ICC). The event will include the following activities:
* Keynote presentations by international experts in Colour Imaging
* International debate on Colour Communication via satellite video link
* Presentations of state-of-the-art Colour Management Systems
* Tour of the labs at the Colour & Imaging Institute's new site
* Full social programme and banquet with guest speakers
We invite participation in this event through the submission of both
oral and poster papers, demonstrations of colour management technology,
and presentations of tutorials or short courses. All fields of
application of colour management should be considered, including
printing, textiles, paints, plastics, ceramics, film, television and the
Internet. All aspects of colour management will be covered, including
device technology, colorimetry, measurement, calibration,
characterisation and standards. All submissions will be examined by the
International Programme Committee to ensure that the highest quality
standards are achieved. Please send your abstract of 500-1000 words
to:
