Aims and Scope of the Symposium
-------------------------------
Following the success of previous EGPGV symposia, we are happy to announce
the 8th Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization. The
new generation of parallel architectures introduce many exciting research
opportunities. The extreme-scale of these new parallel systems redefines
the scalability problem of many graphics and visualization applications.
The aim of this symposium is to foster greater exchange of experiences and
knowledge of parallel and distributed computing and its application to all
aspects of computer graphics and data visualization.
Topics of interest include but not limited to:
- Cluster based graphics and visualization
- Efficient graphics and visualization for shared and
distributed memory systems
- Parallel and distributed systems for large and high
resolution displays
- Parallel and distributed systems for photo-realistic rendering
- Parallel volume rendering
- Data coherence in graphics algorithms
- Large data set visualization
- Realistic rendering of large models
- Large scale simulations and graphics rendering
- Graphics and visualization in Grid environments
- Parallel simulations for interactive applications
- Parallelism within GPU architectures
- GPU and GPGPU clusters
- Parallel graphics and visualization on multi-core CPUs
and other parallel architectures
The EGPGV Symposium is co-located with the Eurographics Annual Conference,
which will take place from April 14-18.

Eurographics Ireland 2007
Monday 17th December
UCD School of Medicine and Medical Science
Call for Contribution
http://www.ucd.ie/diagnosticimaging/html/eg07/
The 8th Irish Workshop on Computer Graphics and Visualisation will take
place at the School of Medicine
and Medical Science, University College Dublin on the 17th of December 2007.
Previous Eurographics Irish
workshops have been very successful with many top international speakers and
researchers in attendance.
In recent times, the importance of graphics, visualisation and related
technologies in all sectors of Irish
society has increased rapidly. These technologies are not only relevant in
the games and film industries, but
also other areas such as medicine and biology. This year is the first year a
non-computer science institute is
hosting the conference, re-inforcing the multi-disciplinary nature of this
field of research. The special theme
will be "Humans: from the Inside Out ", but we hope to bring together a
diverse group of people interested in
the theory and applications of Computer Graphics and its intersection with
other areas, such as perception,
Games, Physics, Artificial Intelligence, audio and haptics. Please join us
in Dublin and help to promote the
exciting field of Graphics in Ireland.
Invited Speakers
Simon Mack / Torsten Reil, Natural Motion LTD.
Prof. Min Chen, Visual and Interactive Computing, University of Swansea, UK
Submission
Submissions relating to all aspects of Graphics and Visualisation are
invited. We invite papers, 6-8 pages
long, in the categories of applications or research. High quality
submissions describing work-in-progress or
state-of-the-art reports will also be considered. If accepted, you will be
expected to deliver an oral
presentation at the workshop, although some submissions may be considered
for poster presentation. All
accepted papers will appear in the printed proceedings and there will be a
prize for the best paper. Please
send your submission in .doc or .pdf format by email to the
eurographics(a)ucd.ie
