SG07: 7th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS
http://www.smartgraphics.org/
June 25-27 2007
Kyoto, Japan
Submission deadline: Feb 16, 2007
Graphics become Smart Graphics when their design and implementation
are grounded in an understanding of human abilities, activities, and
motivations from design experience and the broad spectrum of cognitive
and social sciences.
When knowledge from these diverse fields is combined with new methods,
tools and techniques in AI, HCI and computer graphics, environments
are created that
(1) engage the user and are esthetically satisfying;
(2) participate in human cognition as external or distributed
representations;
(3) are sensitive to the real-time demands of the interaction in the
context of the available informational and computational
resources; and
(4) adapt the form of the output according to a wider set of
constraints such as an individual's perceptual, attentive, and
motor abilities and the nature of the presentation media and
available interaction devices.
The International Symposium on Smart Graphics brings together people
from the fields of Cognitive Science, Computer Graphics, Artificial
Intelligence and Graphics Design to build this new and emerging area
of study. A partnering event, for which we encourage participation is
the 7th Creativity and Cognition Conference (CC2007).
Another partner-event is the Visual Computing / Graphics & CAD symposium,
which takes place in Osaka, Japan (Jun 23-24).
SG07 welcomes submissions from computer graphics, HCI & AI researchers
and practitioners, cognitive scientists, artists and graphic designers
interested in a theroetically motivated interdisciplinary approach to
the design of interactive visual, auditory, and haptic displays.
It is planned to publish the proceedings in the Springer LNCS series,
as in the previous years (formal approval pending).

Introduction
Graphics Hardware is a highly visible, established international
forum for exchanging experience and knowledge related to computer
graphics hardware. The event, held annually since 1986, offers a
unique perspective on graphics hardware by combining discussions and
constructive critique of innovative concepts as well as product-level
designs. It is an inclusive forum for the entire graphics hardware
community and brings together researchers, engineers, and architects.
The program features two days of paper and industry presentations,
with ample time for discussion during breaks, lunches, and the
workshop banquet. This year's event will be held in San Diego,
California, jointly with Siggraph.
Our website is located at http://www.graphicshardware.org/.

Papers Track
We invite high-quality, original papers on all aspects of computer
graphics hardware describing either proven and tested solutions or novel
ideas and concepts. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
* Graphics accelerator architectures
* Performance measurement, modelling, and optimization
* Exploitation of new memory technologies for 3D graphics
* Graphics for mobile devices
* Integrated graphics chipsets
* Hardware support for image-based rendering
* Volume rendering architectures
* Hardware support of new surface representations
* Multi-processor architectures for graphics
* Load balancing in graphics systems
* Space, screen, and model partitioning
* Software-hardware interfaces
* Hardware accelerated rendering
* Programmable graphics processors
* Shading language implementation
* Vertex, geometry, and pixel programming techniques
* GPU-related compression/decompression techniques
* Programming techniques for data-parallel problems
* Hardware support for video processing
* Novel display technologies
* General Purpose GPU papers which meet all of:
- Graphics hardware is essential to the method
- New and non-obvious algorithmic changes are required to run on
graphics hardware
- The algorithm is likely to influence GPU designs or have lasting
value as GPUs change
Paper length:
There is no fixed maximum length for a paper. However, the magnitude of
the contribution must be proportional to the length of the paper, and
papers longer than eight typeset pages in the final Eurographics format
must make a very significant contribution to get accepted. Papers of
four or fewer pages will be held to a less strict standard of citation
and description of related work (comparison to the strongest alternative
techniques is still important, but an exhaustive review is not
necessary). All accepted papers are treated equally, i.e., printed in
the proceedings and presented at the conference.
Submission info:
Authors are invited to upload papers electronically in Adobe PDF format
by visiting http://www.graphicshardware.org/submissions.html.
Submissions should follow the formatting guidelines on
http://www.eg.org/publications/guidelines/. We encourage anonymous
submissions (in which the paper contains no information identifying the
authors) whenever possible.
Video sequences in QuickTime, MPEG or AVI format may be submitted using
the electronic submission system.

International Symposium on Volume Graphics
02 - 03 September, 2007
The Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic
The 6th International Symposium on Volume Graphics, VG07, will take
place in Prague in September 2007. It follows five successful
workshops in former years. This 6th occurrence of Volume Graphics has
been changed from a Workshop to a Symposium. VG07 aims to bring
together researchers from both the academic and industry who are
working, or wish to work, on volume graphics. Volume Graphics is
concerned with modeling, processing, and rendering of data which is
typically acquired through tomography, 3D microscopy, computational
simulations, statistical measurements or analytical methods. It is
capable of representing solid and soft objects, interiors as well as
surfaces, and synthesizing graphical images in a true 3D manner. The
symposium will continue to explore the potential of volume-based
techniques beyond the scope of volume visualization as it is currently
practiced.
VG07 will be held in conjunction with the Point-Based Graphics
Symposium 2007, both under the auspices of EUROGRAPHICS 2007
Conference.

Call for Papers for CYBERWORLDS 2007
October 24-27, 2007 - Leibnizhaus Hannover, Germany Conference
Web Page: http://www.gdv.uni-hannover.de/hcw07
In-cooperation with Eurographics Association.
Cyberworlds are information worlds being formed on the 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 modeling, the theoretical ground for Cyberworlds is far above
the level of integrating spatial and temporal database models. This
conference will deal with large distributed information worlds on the
Internet as well as methods and tools used for creating such worlds.
A new feature of the conference this year will be topics dealing with the
relation between Cyberworlds and Computational Engineering (CE). This means,
we encourage submissions showing how contributions from CE will help
improving the physical accuracy of Cyberworlds and Virtual Reality (VR).
Vice versa, we also ask for submissions showing how concepts from
Cyberworlds (and VR) help to improve environments and systems used for CE
applications, e.g. medical science.
The conference proceedings will be printed by IEEE. The best papers will be
published in a special issue of "The Visual Computer".
Conference Topics
- Philosophy, evolution, and ethics of Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds and their impact on the real world
- Cyber ethics and cyber laws
- Cyber security
- Visual Cyberworlds
- Virtual humans 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
- Virtual production engineering in Cyberworlds
- Cyber engineering - engineering methods enhancing VR worlds and
vice versa
- Bioinformatics for cyber life and medicine
- Health care in Cyberworlds
- Cyber medicine - medical visualization in combination with VR
- Cyberworlds and visualization for bioengineering
- Cyber information systems
- E-business in Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for education
- Collaborative work using Cyberworlds
- Cyber fairs and cyber museums
- Multi-user web games
CW 2007 will provide an opportunity for scientists and engineers from around
the world to share the latest research, ideas, and developments in these
fields. The conference will consist of full and short paper sessions as well
as hands-on demonstrations, where research groups, artists, and vendors will
show the state-of-the-art in the field.
