Dear CAD/Graphics expert,


~~~~~~~~~~~~ CALL FOR PAPERS

We welcome you to participate in CAD/Graphics, the international
conference on Computer-Aided Design and Computer Graphics.
The 9th International CAD/Graphics 2005 conference will be
held in Hong Kong, Asia\'s World City, from December 7-10, 2005.
It is organized by the Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology (HKUST). CAD/Graphics is a serial international
conference on CAD & CG held biyearly in China every odd year.
The conference provides an international forum for researchers
and developers from various countries to exchange new ideas on
computer aided design and computer graphics. 


Please visit the conference website for detailed information:
