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.
