Abstract :
This paper describes a parallel object-oriented approach to dynamic 3-D visualization. We specify 3D objects and pixels as active objects. It employs a set of ECA rules to describe the behavior of active objects which are are compiled into a state network. A state network consists of a set of processes each of which corresponds to a state of an active object. Our analysis shows that the management cost for the state network is smaller than the pure object-oriented approach
