Announcement
Special issue on class A surfaces Class A surfaces are those outside parts of industrial objects which attribute to their aesthetic appeal. The most important class A surfaces are those representing hoods, roofs, etc. of automobiles. The design of class A surfaces thus involves not only functional criteria but also subjective ones relating to style and appearance. Creating tools which support the work of a stylist is a challenging task in the areas of CAD and CAGD. Design criteria and tools involve Curvature distribution of feature curves, Simulation of reflection lines, Reflection line based modeling,

Surface fitting with aesthetic constraints, Reverse engineering to meet styling intent. CAGD invites papers addressing these problems and related ones. All articles will be reviewed according to the standard practice of CAGD. All articles must be submitted to Elseviers e-submission site to the attention of G. Farin and indicate clearly that the submission is intended for the Class A surfaces Special Issue. Please check http://authors. elsevier.com/journal/cagd for manuscript preparation and submission instructions. Guest editors: U. Reif, F. Albat, G. Farin Deadline for submissions: June 30, 2004.
