Symposium on Computer Animation - Final call for participation

by Stefanie Behnke

Dear Colleague, As the Symposium on Computer Animation 2006 approaches, we would like to remind you that you can register here: http://isg.cs.tcd.ie/SCA06/Register.html We know that the early bird deadline is now over and that you get no real benefit (except a free tshirt!) for registering now. However, it would help us very much to prepare the conference if you could do so as soon as possible. As we understand all about reimbursements delays and other problems, we have decided to provide you with the possibility to register now and pay on-site, by cash or credit card. If you prefer this option, please, fill in the form you can download below, so that we can prepare your conference package: http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/~zabador/SCA06/SCA_registration.doc Thanks a lot for your time and effort to help us run the conference smoothly, Best Regards, The SCA organising team

Early Registration fees for the CIPA / VAST / EG joint event in Cyprus 2006: The e-documentation in Cultural Heritage

by Ioannides Marinos

Dear Madame/Sir, We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that the registration for the joint event ( CIPA / VAST / EG / Euro-Med 2006 www.cipa2006.org) has already begun. Early registration is possible on-line (http://www.vast2006.org/Registration_Info.html ) until the 15th of September 2006. The joint event for the exchange and sharing of know-how in the areas of Cultural Heritage (CH) and Information Technology (IT) focusing on e-documentation and Computer Graphics is an "In-service training" activity and the participation can be funded by the European Commission Socrates/Grundtvig3 Initiative. For more information please visit the following webpage: http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/socrates/grundtvig/grund3_en.html People from the 33 European member states of the Socrates/Grundtvig3 initiative interested in receiving a grant have to contact directly their EU-Socrates National Agency and apply there for the grants: http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/socrates/grundtvig/national_en.html Each National Agency has its own deadline for submission of applications so make sure you apply in time. However, you have to register for the joint event before you will apply for the EU grants. The joint event offers special hotel rates in Nicosia which are only available through registration for the event. We would like to remind you that there is a limited hotel room capacity for the event in Nicosia and rooms will be distributed on a first come - first serve basis. Thank you very much and we look forward to meeting you in Cyprus. Regards from Nicosia, Marinos Ioannides On behalf of the Organizing Committee

Vienna, 3-4 September SBM06: Invitation to Participate

by Joaquim Jorge

Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-based Interfaces and Modeling 2006 Vienna, Austria, 3-4 September 2006 http://www.eg.org/sbm Registration: https://www.eg.org/egshop/jsf/user/buyticket.jsp The 2006 Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-based Interfaces and Modeling, held in conjunction with the 2006 Eurographics Conference, brings together an international community of researchers working to advance the state of the art in sketch-based interfaces and their applications. The workshop is intended to provide an opportunity for these researchers to share lessons learned, present new results, and discuss open issues. The workshop also includes two invited presentations. In the first of these, Eric Saund of the Palo Alto Research Center presents one possible view of a "killer application" for pen-based interfaces - games. In the second, Marc Alexa from the Technical University of Berlin presents exciting new work in sketch-based 3D surface design.
