recent advances
in both scientific and information visualization, and addressing both
basic research
and applications. A full technical programme can be found at
www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/eurovis/programme.html
Registration for EuroVis is now open. The conference is being held at
Weetwood Hall,
a special-purpose venue in the city of Leeds. Accommodation is
available either at
the venue itself or in nearby hotels. Leeds is well served with
transport connections; Leeds-Bradford airport is 20 minutes by taxi from
the conference venue, with connecting
services to Amsterdam, Dublin, and UK cities. There are regular and
frequent train
connections to Manchester Airport, with many European and international
flights. The
centre of Leeds, with its Victorian galleries and shopping malls,
restaurants and
vibrant nightlife, is 15 minutes travel by bus from the venue.
Registration and accommodation details can be found on the conference
web site,
www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/eurovis.
A social event involving a trip into the Yorkshire Dales National Park
for dinner
at the Red Lion Inn is planned. Leeds itself is a gateway to the Dales
area, and
is a short train journey from the historic city of York.
* Pending final IEEE approval.

Call for Papers
Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena
http://egwnp.liris.cnrs.fr
Dublin, Ireland
Aims and Scope
Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem
in computer
graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of
objects and
natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of
small details that
should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible
simulations. Therefore,
there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques
capable for handling
complex synthetic sceneries.
The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling,
animating, simulating
and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work
done in recent
years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant
modeling, ecosystem
simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on
non-concious or inanimate nature
like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of
nature should be excluded).
Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete.
Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas.
Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:
- Plant structure modeling
- Ecosystem simulation
- Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog .)
- Simulating liquid flows
- Modeling fire and smoke
- Aging and weathering
- Terrain modeling
Submission Procedure (all submissions are electronic)
Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, with the
main body set in
Eurographics Conference Paper Format. You can download a set of LaTeX style
files from
http://egwnp.liris.cnrs.fr. Each paper should contain title, authors' names
and affiliations, abstract,
keywords, text, illustrations and references. Detailed guidelines are
available through the Workshop
Site. We will accept papers in PDF format only. Please contact the
conference organizers should
you experience any problems with electronic submission.
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 take place just before the Eurographics'05 Conference
(August 30, Dublin, Ireland)
to encourage a broad range of participants. As such, it will provide a very
interesting opportunity for
researchers that want to attend or present communications at both events.
The workshop will be held
in one day, including paper presentation and invited sessions. Participation
is open to everyone, not
requiring submission of a paper.
Important Dates
May 2, 2005 Submission deadline

Now in its third year, the Symposium on Geometry Processing is the
premier venue for disseminating new research ideas and
cutting-edge results in Geometry Processing. In this emerging
area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and
engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for the
acquisition, reconstruction, manipulation, simulation and
transmission of complex 3D models. Applications of geometry
processing algorithms cover a wide range of areas from multimedia,
entertainment, and classical computer-aided design, to bio-medical
computing, reverse engineering, and scientific computing.
We are now inviting submissions related to, but not limited to, the
following topics in geometry processing:
- geometry and topology representations
- compression of static or animated geometry
- surface and volume parameterization
- approximation and meshing
- reverse engineering
- simplification and level of detail
- smoothing and denoising
- computational geometry
- multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis
- geometric aspects of rendering and other fields
- interactive techniques
- animation and simulation
The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.
Note also that there will be three prestigious invited speakers:
* Herbert Edelsbrunner, Duke University
* Luis Velho, Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada
* Marc Alexa, Technische Universität Darmstadt
