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)
Short Paper Submission
-----------------------
Submissions are invited as short paper of 2 to 4 pages (A4 paper), and will
be presented as posters. The papers must be written in English. The program committee,
composed of internationally renowned experts, will review the submissions.

Cyberworlds are information worlds being formed on Internet either intentionally or spontaneously, with or without design. As information worlds, they are either virtual or real, and can be both. In terms of information modelling, the theoretical ground for the Cyberworlds is far above the level of integrating spatial database models and temporal database models. This conference will deal with large distributed information worlds on Internet as well as methods and tools used for creating such worlds.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
The conference topics include but are not limited to the following areas.
- Philosophy, Evolution, and Ethics of Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds and their impact on the real worlds
- Cyberethics and Cyberlaws
- Cybersecurity
- Visual Cyberworlds
- Human animation in Cyberworlds
- Virtual Reality in Cyberworlds
- Computer vision and augmented reality for Cyberworlds
- Intelligent agents in Cyberworlds
- Communication in Cyberworlds
- Distributed virtual environments
- Shared virtual worlds
- Data mining and warehousing in Cyberworlds
- Bioinformatics for Cyberlife and medicine
- Healthcare in Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for bioengineering
- Cyberinformation systems
- E-business in Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for education
- Collaborative work using Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for manufacturing
- Cyber fairs and Cyber museums
- Multi-user web games
CW2006 will provide an opportunity for scientists, engineers, and researchers from around the world to share the latest research, ideas, and developments in these fields.
The conference will consist of formal paper sessions and hands-on demonstrations where research groups and vendors will show the state-of-the-art in the field.

Organizing Co-Chairs:
* Riccardo Scateni, Università di Cagliari
* Roberto Scopigno, ISTI-CNR Pisa
CALL FOR PAPERS:
The Symposium on Geometry Processing is the premier venue for
disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in
computerized processing of geometric models. In this emerging
area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science,
and engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for
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
PROCEEDINGS:
The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.
NEW: proceedings will be full-color throughout.
INVITED SPEAKERS:
In addition to the technical paper presentations the conference
will have two distinguished invited speakers:
* Markus Gross, ETH Zurich
* Ron Kimmel, Technion.
INDUSTRY PANEL:
NEW: the industry panel will be a new conference feature where
representatives of major companies actively involved in geometry
processing and its application will present and discuss the most
challenging research problems in the work of their companies.
This year's panelists are:
* Richard Huddy (ATI)
* Arnaud Ribadeau-Dumas (Dassault Systèmes)
* Rasmus Tamstorf (Disney)
* Olivier Paugam (Mental Images)
POSTER SESSION:
A posters session will provide an additional informative look into
ongoing research. Papers with obvious potential but which missed
the threshold may be invited to be presented as posters during the
symposium. Two page abstracts of the posters will be published in
a separate volume distributed to the symposium participants.
IMPORTANT DATES:
* Electronic abstract submission deadline: April 19, 2006
* Electronic paper submission deadline: April 26, 2006
* Author notification: May 17, 2006

directly targeting the Poster & Demo session are also accepted (see
calendar).
Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!

Point-Based Graphics 2006 - Call for Papers
Co-sponsored by Eurographics and the
IEEE-CS Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC)
In Cooperation with ACM/SIGGRAPH
Web: http://www.point-graphics.org
The drive for increasingly complex 3D geometric models, especially those scanned from the real-world, has brought about a growing interest in methods that build on point primitives. Following the highly successful 2004 and 2005 Symposia on Point-Based Graphics, the 3rd symposium of its series, PBG06, aims to further demonstrate the applicability of point-based methods in modeling, rendering, and simulation, and in a wide range of application domains. The PBG06 will take place in Boston, MA, July 29-30, 2006, and will be co-located with SIGGRAPH and the International Workshop on Volume Graphics (VG06). The best papers of PBG06 will additionally be published in a special issue of Computers & Graphics. We invite your original contributions in areas including, but not limited to, the following:
Data acquisition and surface reconstruction
Geometric modeling using point primitives
Sampling, approximation, and interpolation
Rendering algorithms for point primitives
Geometry processing of point models
Topological properties of point clouds
Hardware architectures for point primitives
Animation and morphing of point-sampled models
Hybrid representations and algorithms
Use of point-based methods in real-world applications
Transmission and compression of point-sampled geometry
Important Dates:
