**************************************************************** **************************************************************** **************************************************************** Third Workshop in Virtual Reality Interactions and Physical Simulations (VRIPHYS '06) Móstoles, Madrid, Spain, 6th-7th November (http://www.vriphys.org/workshops/vriphys06/) INTRODUCTION This is the third edition of the workshop and this year it is hosted by the Rey Juan Carlos University. The workshop is organized in cooperation with Eurographics. As in previous editions (vriphys04, vriphys05), the goal is to attract high level research papers in the domains of dynamic simulation and physical interaction in virtual reality environments. We also welcome papers showing on-going research with promising results and new technology with applications related. We particularly encourage works in the medical domain due to its strong ties to the workshop topics. TOPICS Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Collision detection techniques * Deformable objects (e.g. biomechanical modeling of soft and hard tissues) * Physical standards for assessing deformable objects (e.g. performance metrics & validation of medical simulators) * Natural phenomena modeling (hair, fluids, ...) * Geometric algorithms for physical simulation * Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces * Physically based dynamics (video games, medical simulators) The workshop seeks to be an international forum for researchers and students to provide a propitious environment for sharing results and exchanging new concepts on these fields. SUBMISSION Camera ready submission: Papers are allowed 6 to 10 pages and formatted according to the EG publication guidelines for workshop submission. For double-blind reviewing, the anonymous submission version should be used. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and appear in the proceedings.

CW 2006 : Deadline for paper submission extended

by Stefanie Behnke

CALL FOR PAPERS Paper Due: 24th May 2006 2006 International Conference on CYBERWORLDS November 28-30, 2006, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland Organized by EPFL VRlab in cooperation with EUROGRAPHICS, ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGWEB, CUSO, and INTUITION EU Network of Excellence 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. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Due: 24th May 2006 Notice of Acceptance: 1st July 2006 Camera Ready Due: 28th July 2006 Conference: 28-30 Nov 2006 Full and Short Papers (in English) containing original and unpublished results are solicited. Full papers are limited to maximum 8 pages (single space, two columns) including figures. Short papers are limited to 5 pages. All paper submissions must reach us by 10th May, 2006. Accepted papers will be included in a conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society. THE BEST FULL PAPERS WILL BE INVITED FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE VISUAL COMPUTER JOURNAL PUBLISHED BY SPRINGER. Submission Information: http://vrlab.epfl.ch/cw2006/ <http://vrlab.epfl.ch/cw2006/> For general enquiries please contact Daniel Thalmann, EPFL VRlab, Station 14, CH 1015, Lausanne, Switzerland E-mail: Daniel.Thalmann(a)epfl.ch Fax: +41-21-693-5328 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

EGWNP 2006 : Deadline for paper submission extended

by Stefanie Behnke

Second Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena Vienna, Austria, September 5, 2006 http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/events/EGWNP06/ >>> Paper submission deadline extended to May 25, 2006 <<< After several requests by authors, the deadline for submitting papers to the EG Workshop on Natural Phenomena has been changed to May 25, 2006. The call for papers and the web site is enclosed in this mail. Best regards, Program Co-Chairs: Norishige Chiba Eric Galin Call for papers 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 Important Dates May 25, 2006 Submission deadline June 25, 2006 Notification of acceptance July 8, 2006 Deadline for camera-ready copies September 5, 2006 Workshop (one full day)
