SIACG 2006 -3rd Ibero-American Symposium on Computer Graphics

by Stefanie Behnke

--------------------- First call for papers --------------------- SIACG 2006 -3rd Ibero-American Symposium on Computer Graphics EPCG: 14º Encontro Português de Computação Gráfica CEIG: XVI Congreso Español de Informática Gráfica Santiago de Compostela, Spain, July 5-7, 2006 http://www.labsis.usc.es/siacg2006 This symposium is the third of a series of similar events organised every other year and alternating between Europe and South America. Its mission is to foster co-operation through joint projects and the exchange of scholars, ideas and information between the Computer Graphics communities in Spain, Portugal and Latin America. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series. This symposium replaces this year's annual events of the Spanish and Portuguese Chapters of Eurographics. Important Dates ------------- 21 March 2006: Submission deadline 06 May 2006: Notification of acceptance 13 May 2006: Short presentations and poster proposals due 21 May 2006: Camera ready papers and pre-registration deadline 05-07 July 2006: Conference Topics ----- We invite researchers, students, academicians and practicians to contribute papers from all areas related to computer graphics, multimedia and hardware. In particular we are looking to novel applications, algorithms and the human aspects of interaction with graphics. Authors are invited to submit contributions addressing one or more of the following (non-exhaustive) list of major areas/topics: Computer Graphics Systems and Hardware Visualisation Computer Animation Rendering Techniques and Global Illumination Real-Time Rendering Virtual Reality and Computer Human Interface Computational Geometry and its Applications Geometric Computing and Solid Modelling Scientific Visualisation Volume Graphics Augmented and Mixed Reality Game Design and Game Engine Development Virtual Humans and Artificial Life 3D Reconstruction GPU Programming Graphical User Interfaces Interaction Architectures and Models Multimodal User Interfaces Graphics and Multimedia Computer Graphics for Mobile Applications Computer Graphics applications (Arts, Education, Engineering, Entertainment, Medicine and Science) Venue ----- Santiago de Compostela is mainly a monumental town, a stony miracle which has been shaped around the Apostle St James's sepulchre along the centuries, and which has resulted in one of the most splendid and harmonic architectural ensembles in the world. Considered to be one of the three spiritual capitals of Christendom together with Rome and Jerusalem, from the Middle Ages it became the goal of religious pilgrimages, a phenomenon that would give birth to the pilgrims' Road to Santiago, the real spine of the art and the thought from which, as Goethe said, the idea of Europe would be born. The conference venue will be the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, at the Escola Técnica Superior de Enxeñería (Rúa Lope Gómez de Marzoa, 15782-Santiago de Compostela) Paper Submission --------------- Submissions are invited as either a full paper of 6 to 10 pages (A4 paper) for oral presentation or as a short paper of 2 to 4 pages (A4 paper). The papers must be written in English, although presentations can be delivered in Portuguese, Spanish or English. The program committee, composed of internationally renowned experts, will review the submissions. Please see the conference web site for submission details.
