Announcement and Call for Papers.

DATE:	16th September 1992
TIME:	9.30am - 5pm
VENUE:	COVENTRY UNIVERSITY, COVENTRY, UK
TOPIC:  VR, New Interfaces, and CAD/CAE/CAM

This will be a small (<100 people) one-day get-together to consider
the possibilities and problems of updating CAD, CAE and CAM, with most
particular reference to the possible impact of Virtual Reality and
other novel interface techniques.

Sponsored by the ACME (Applications of Computers to Manufacturing
Engineering directorate) of the British Science and Engineering
Research Council (SERC), this conference is open to all people who
have some professional concern in the field, whether as students,
researchers, or industrial workers.  Costs (if any) will be kept very
low to encourage attendance of as broad a spectrum of such people as
possible.  We hope to have in attendance many of our team's industrial
collaborators, including a British manufacturer of VR systems, CAD
software designers, and representatives of manufacturing industry.
However, we know that we don't know of everyone who may be interested
in attending: please draw the attention of other interesting people to
this Announcement!

Papers and demonstrations of equipment/systems are invited.  They
should be suitable for giving to the broadly-specialised audience
mentioned above, and be capable of being delivered in no more than an
hour.
