This is an event in the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia on Rendering and the Eurographics Workshops on Rendering, held over the past 17 years. The local organizer of the conference is Nicolas Holzschuch. The program chairs are Jan Kautz and Sumanta Pattanaik. Conference Topics ----------------- Conference topics include (but are not limited to): * Global illumination methods * Monte Carlo techniques * Finite element techniques * Sampling, filtering, and anti-aliasing * Shadows and visibility * Human perception and error measures * Texture models, analysis, and synthesis * Image-based methods * Sensing for graphics * Point-based rendering * New rendering hardware and new uses of existing hardware * Real-time rendering and real-time ray tracing * Systems and software architecture for rendering * Virtual/augmented reality and interactive systems * Rendering dynamic/animated environments * Non-photorealistic rendering We welcome short papers (max. 6 pages) as well as full papers (max. 12 pages). Only electronic submissions will be accepted. This year we will set aside about 75% of accepted papers for oral presentations and 25% for poster presentations. Note that all the accepted papers will be chosen through the same rigorous selection process, and will be published in the proceedings --- only the presentation form changes. We believe that this new format will allow for ample discussion time. Important Dates --------------- Abstract submission deadline: Tuesday, April 10 Paper submission deadline: Thursday, April 12 Author notification: Wednesday, May 16 Camera-ready version: Wednesday, May 23 Symposium: June 25-27 Program Co-Chairs ----------------- * Jan Kautz (UK) * Sumanta Pattanaik (US) International Program Committee ------------------------------- Kadi Bouatouch (FR) Per Christensen (US) Yiorgos Chrysanthou (CY) George Drettakis (FR) Fredo Durand (US) Philip Dutre (BE) Bruce Gooch (US) Baining Guo (CN) Aaron Hertzmann (CA) Nicolas Holzschuch (FR) Greg Humphreys (US) Henrik Wann Jensen (US) Jaroslav Krivanek (CZ) Jason Lawrence (US) Hendrik Lensch (DE) Marcus Magnor (DE) Steve Marschner (US) Wojciech Matusik (US) Michael McCool (CA) Fabio Pellacini (US) Matt Pharr (US) Ravi Ramamoorthi (US) Szymon Rusinkiewicz (US) Peter Shirley (US) Peter-Pike Sloan (US) Philipp Slusallek (DE) Jack Tumblin (US) Nicolas Tsingos (FR) Bruce Walter (US) Michael Wimmer (AT) Peter Wonka (US) Organizing Chair ---------------- Nicolas Holzschuch (FR) Keynote Speakers ---------------- * Bill Freeman, MIT * TBD Instructions for Submission --------------------------- Each full paper for submission should be formatted using the EG publication style proceedings templates. It must not be longer than twelve(12) pages in length, including references and figures. Each short paper for submission should be formatted and submitted in the same way as a full paper, except that its length must not be longer than six(6) pages. The presentation format will allow for ample discussion time. Only electronic submissions will be accepted through the Precision Conference System The authors of each accepted paper need to complete and return the EG Copyright Assignment Form. Note: This year there is very little time between acceptance notification and the due date for camera ready copies of the paper. We will therefore have to strictly enforce all deadlines.
