Preface This volume contains the research papers presented at the Tenth Eurographics Workshop on Computer Animation and Simulation which took place in Milano, Italy, September 7-8. The workshop is an international forum for research in human animation, physically-based modeling, motion control, animation systems, and other key aspects of animation and simulation. The call for papers required submission of the full papers for review, and each of the 34 papers we received was reviewed by at least 3 members of the international program committee and additional reviewers. Based on the reviews, 20 papers were accepted and the authors were invited to submit a final version for the workshop. We wish to especially thank all reviewers for their time and effort in working within the rigid constraints of the tight schedule, thereby making it possible to publish this volume in time for the workshop. We also thank the authors for their contributions to the workshop, without whom this unique forum for animation and simulation work would not exist. We are grateful to the Eurographics Association and especially to Werner Purgathofer from the Technical University of Vienna, for his support in publishing the workshop as a volume of the Springer-Verlag Eurographics Series. We also thank Heinrich MUller from the University of Dortmund and the Eurographics '99 organisers in Milano, especially Professor Giorgio Valle. We are also very grateful to Zerrin Celebi for the organization of the review process and Josiane Bottarelli for the registration process.
