The workshop offers a unique perspective on graphics hardware by combining discussions and constructive critique of innovative concepts as well as product-level designs. The workshop is an inclusive forum for the entire graphics hardware community and brings together researchers, engineers, and architects. This year's workshop will be held in Saarbruecken, Germany, jointly with = Eurographics 2002.

Presentations should be technical, rather than marketing, and should focus on real products (20 minutes). Bound copies of the slides will be prepared for attendees, and presentation slides will be made available on the workshop web page after the workshop. Contributors are invited to send abstracts for their Hot 3D Systems presentation to hot3d@graphicshardware.org by June 29. Final versions of the presentations are to be sent electronically, in Microsoft PowerPoint format, as an email attachment by July 15. For further questions please contact hot3d@graphicshardware.org The Workshop ------------ The workshop will take place in Saarbr=81cken, Germany at the Max-Planck Institut fuer Informatik on Sunday and Monday of the week of Eurographics 2002. The workshop will feature two full days of paper and industry presentations and invited talks. We will continue the workshop's tradition of a sumptuous banquet at a unique location. Registration ------------ The registration fee includes the workshop proceedings, banquet, coffee, and lunches. The workshop fee does not cover accommodations. Please see our website for full details on registration and accommodations. Best Paper Award ---------------- An award of $500 will be given to the authors of the paper considered to be the outstanding paper presented at the workshop. The award is based on the accuracy, originality, and importance of the technical concept, the quality and readability of the manuscript, as well as the content and delivery of the verbal presentation. To qualify for this award, one or more of the principal authors must be enrolled at the workshop and present the paper. The winner will be chosen by the organizing committee based on audience feedback and will be announced at the end of the workshop. Demonstrations -------------- Presenters and workshop participants are invited to bring prototypes or products for demonstration at the workshop. Demonstrations will be held on Sunday and Monday during breaks and before and after workshop sessions. We highly encourage paper authors and industry presenters to demonstrate their systems at the workshop. Please contact the workshop chairs by email at info@graphicshardware.org to arrange for space or electrical connections that may be required for your demonstration.
