your opportunity to show the world what you can do, a competition for
the photograph for the 2007 volume.
The first prize winner gets 200 Euro, but the biggest prize is of
course the fact that your picture will appear on all the 2007 issues,
including the conference issue!
The winner will be publicly announced at the closing session of the

IT IS SUFFICIENT TO SEND IN IMAGES VIA EMAIL ATTACHMENTS TO
Federico Ponchio <ponchio(a)dm.unipi.it>
Deadline: AUGUST 20th, 2006
Electronic submissions may be in all image formats. For production on
the cover of "Forum", we will be asking the winning submitter to
provide a CMYK-separated eps file, saved at 300 dpi, sized at 152 mm
x 128 mm. We would also appreciate a GIF or JPEG image with RGB
colour for use on the website.

Fourth Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP)
in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, June 26-28 2006
http://www.geometryprocessing.org
We welcome you at the sunny beaches of Sardinia to SGP06:
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.
The conference addresses diverse topics from 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
Further Information, including the full program are available at
http://www.geometryprocessing.org
Program Co-Chairs:
* Alla Sheffer, University of British Columbia
* Konrad Polthier, Freie Universität Berlin
Organizing Co-Chairs:
* Riccardo Scateni, Università di Cagliari
* Roberto Scopigno, ISTI-CNR Pisa
PROCEEDINGS:
The full-color proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.
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:
* Arnaud Ribadeau-Dumas (Dassault Systèmes)
* Rasmus Tamstorf (Disney)
* Olivier Paugam (Mental Images)
POSTER SESSION:
A posters session will provide an additional informative look into
