The Origins of Computer Graphics in Europe: Part 2-The Early Spreading of Computer Graphics in Europe.

"The Origins of Computer Graphics in Europe," is being published in two parts: Part 1, published in the March/April issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (IEEE CG&A), is subtitled "The Beginnings in Germany"; Part 2, published in this May/June 2023 issue, is subtitled "The Early Spreading of Computer Graphics in Europe." I was a participant, contributor, and witness to the events reported here and I relate my personal story along with the broader history. Part 1 describes the origins and successful evolution of computer graphics in Germany, starting in 1965, and includes details of the people and subject matter of the earliest research groups.

Computer graphics visions and challenges: a European perspective.

I have briefly described important visions and challenges in computer graphics. They are a personal and therefore subjective selection. But most of these issues have to be addressed and solved--no matter if we call them visions or challenges or something else--if we want to make and further develop computer graphics into a key enabling technology for our IT-based society.
