Deadline for registration: August 31, 2004
As early registrations greatly help us in organising the workshop, we
recommend
that participants send their registration forms as soon as possible.
During the workshop
we will make a prize drawing for 2 participants among those who have
registered before
July 15. The 2 winners will get a 50% cash refund on their registration
fee!
Purpose:
To provide researchers with an opportunity to present their work with
Radiance, and to share ideas and solutions with other attendees.
Participants are invited to give a talk, which will be limited to 30
minutes (~20 minute for the talk followed by ~10 minutes of open
discussion).
No printed proceedings will be produced, but a CD-ROM will be
distributed to attendees that will include electronic materials
submitted by the speakers and edited by the organizers.
At this workshop, we will introduce a special Problem Solving session
on the second day, where users may present their difficulties and seek
advice and suggestions, possibly working through solutions in a
collaborative "brain-storming" with Greg, Raphael, and other attendant
experts. In addition, Georg Mischler and Andreas Lahme have been
invited to give a half-day tutorial on Rayfront, and will demonstrate
their new Radiance web rendering service. Depending on the number of
talks we end up scheduling, we may or may not conduct the problem
solving session and Rayfront tutorial in parallel. Either way, everyone
should get a chance to ask questions, and ample opportunities to help
others with their problems as well.
A list of planned speakers and preliminary titles is given below. The
list will be regularly updated on the workshop's web page.
• Forward ray tracing analysis of a light pipe, by Anthony Farrell
• Using image based lighting to assess glare under different
conditions by capturing the whole dynamic range of daylight, by
Santiago L. Torres
• Comparison and Analysis of quantitative and qualitative data on
luminous ambiances in interior spaces using Radiance, by Ljubica Mudri
• Calculation of luminaires using Radiance, by Krzysztof Wandachowicz
• Road lighting simulation with Radiance, by Giulio Antonutto
• Using Radiance to verify and inform some interesting simplified
daylighting and solar radiation models, by Darren Robinson
• Comparison of daylighting results obtained under the Belgian
artificial sky and with several daylighting software, by Magali Bodart
• Some experiments with irradiation modelling using cumulative skies,
by Darren Robinson
• Using Radiance for Right-To-Light and Solar Access Studies, by
Andrew Marsh
• 3D Lighting: Integrated software modelling and simulation package
using 3Dsolar and Rayfront with Radiance, by Andreas Lahme
• Modeling of radiative heat transfer applying procedure of Radiance,
by Konrad Domke
• Material measurment & modelling, by Peter Apian-Bennewitz
• Blender based Radiance GUI, by Francesco Anselmo
• iPPF: a Radiance based online tool for solar and daylight access
studies in urban areas, by Raphael Compagnon
• Rayfront Tutorial, taught by Georg Mischler & Andreas Lahme
• Radiance problem-solving session, moderated by Greg Ward
• The Radzilla project, by Carsten Bauer
• LEARNIX bootable live CD-ROM, by Axel Jacob
• Using a new RADIANCE-based tool to evaluate daylight glare in
office spaces, by Jan Wienold
The names and titles above are not final, and we may get new speakers
and lose some people before we can provide a proper workshop agenda in
September.
By August 31 2004, we will also need the final titles and abstracts for
all the talks, along with any materials the speakers wish to include on
the workshop CD-ROM. At minimum, we would like to get a copy of each
speaker's presentation in PowerPoint, PDF, or HTML (preferred) format,
and a short bio with contact information. If the speaker also has test
scenes, images, and/or software they would like to share, these would
be most welcome. We need to get all of these materials in order to have
sufficient time to assemble them into a usable CD-ROM, so we cannot
promise to include anything submitted after the August 31 deadline.
We look forward to meeting you at the workshop!
Greg Ward and Raphael Compagnon
