WORKSHOP IN VIRTUAL REALITY INTERACTION and PHYSICAL SIMULATION
(VRIPHYS '04)
Papers due: May 17, 2004
Notification of acceptance: June 18, 2004
Deadline for camera-ready version: June 28, 2004
http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/~vriphys04/
//===========================================================
The workshop is organized in the framework of the annual meeting "Encuentro
internacional de Ciencias de la Computación" ENC'2004 of the Mexican
Society
for Computer Science.
In recent years, much research has been done in virtual reality technology
to advance other fields such as medicine, engineering, training, education
and entertainment. Realistic virtual environments require real-time visual
rendering of data and fast computations of physical complex phenomena that
combine movements, deformations, interactions. This problem is constrained
further if some applications require high interactivity tasks, such as
videogames or surgery simulators.
It is a forum for students, researchers and computer science professionals.
//===========================================================
OBJECTIVES
//===========================================================
* To present high level research in the domains of dynamic simulation and
physical interaction in virtual reality environments.
* To identify and put together the scientific mexican community doing
research
in the domains of computer graphics and virtual reality.
* Considering virtual reality as a multidisciplinary domain, we seek to
introduce other researchers, from different backgrounds, the potential
advantages of using virtual environments that might open new advantages
in their research fields.
* To attract application developers and show them the envelope of what
can be
done in virtual reality and computer graphics. We seek to encourage
developers
to work together with researchers and provide products that are truely
usable,
rather than just a demo.
//===========================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS

The goal of this meeting is to present and discuss new research ideas
and results in Geometric Processing. In this emerging area, concepts
from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering are used
to design efficient algorithms for the acquisition, manipulation,
animation and transmission of complex 3D models. Applications of
geometry processing algorithms cover a wide range of areas from
multimedia and entertainment, to bio-medical computing, reverse
engineering, and to classical computer-aided design.
This symposium follows the highly successful 1st Eurographics
Symposium on Geometry Processing, which took place in 2003 in Aachen,
Germany. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.
We are inviting submissions related, but not limited to, the following
topics in geometry processing:
- geometry and topology representations
- compression
- surface and volume parameterization
- approximation
- reverse engineering
- simplification
- smoothing and denoising
- level of detail

information, and other context aware applications. Authors are invited
to submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
Mobile Multimedia
Context Aware Interactive Multimedia
Interactive Video
Audio and Video in Augmented Environments
Multimodal Interaction
Ubiquitous Media
Broadband Personal Interfaces
Auditory Interfaces
Audio/Image/Video Processing
Content Analysis
Media Databases and Search Engines
Content Based Retrieval
Media Information Retrieval on the Web
Delivery of Multimedia Data
Media Web Servers and Services
Video Coding and Description Standards
Multimedia Document Metaphors
Authoring Paradigms
Media Integration
Augmented Reality
Storytelling Environments
Applications: Entertainment, Learning, etc.
Submission Procedure
--------------------
Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, in the
Eurographics Conference Paper Format. Detailed guidelines will be
available at the EG Multimedia 2004 Workshop Site. Post-workshop
proceedings will be available on-line, through the Eurographics Digital
Library, and in paper book form, in the Eurographics Book Series.
Selection will be based upon technical and scientific content and
relevance to the workshop.
Workshop Format
---------------
The workshop will be held in two days, including paper presentation
tracks and discussion plenary sessions. Participation is open to
everyone, not requiring submission of a paper. The workshop will take
place just after the ICIG'2004 Conference (Oct. 23-25, 2004, Hong Kong,
China, http://www.cad.zju.edu.cn/icig2004). The workshop will be
co-located with a conference on Digital Media and Digital Cities. As
such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers
that want to attend or present communications at these events.
Venue and Fee
-------------
The workshop will be held at Nanjing University, China. Workshop
participants will be charged a registration fee that includes a workshop
proceedings book (printed by Eurographics Press), coffee breaks, and a
social event in the first evening of the Workshop. Nanjing University is
located in the Nanjing City, the Capital of Jiangsu Province. Present
day Nanjing, with tens of universities and hundreds of high-tech
companies, ranks fifth among the "50 strongest" of Chinese cities. It is
a transport and telecommunications hub in East China, and the second
largest international trade port after Shanghai in the Yangzi River
Delta. Comprehensive information about Nanjing, traveling and
accommodation will be available at the workshop Web page.
