The annual ACM Web3D Symposium is a major event which unites researchers, developers, experimenters, and content creators in a dynamic learning environment. Attendees share and explore methods of using, enhancing, or creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies, such as (but not limited to) X3D, VRML, MPEG4, MPEG7, U3D, Collada, Acrobat3D and Java3D. The symposium will also focus on recent trends, such as interactive 3D graphics and its applications on mobile devices. Authors are invited to submit their work (short or full papers) for review by the international Program Committee. Both research and applications papers are of interest to Web3D 2007. The papers must be innovative and contribute to the advancement of 3D technologies on the Web and on Multimedia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: o interactive 3D graphics for PDAs and cellular phones o Innovative applications using 3D graphics on the Web/Multimedia in industry, science, medicine, and education o User-interface paradigms and interaction methods for real-time 3D graphics virtual environments o Animated humanoids and complex reactive characters o High-performance 3D graphics for distributed environments and tele- operation systems o Integration and interoperation with Web/Multimedia standards, including SVG, SMIL and Semantic Web technologies o Methods for modeling and rendering complex geometry, structure and behaviors Submission instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 9 pages (including figures and references) or short papers of up to 4 pages (including figures and references) in PDF format via the Symposium Submission Site.

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 22nd 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 Participants 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.
