Key-note speaker: Tom Furness Call for Participation We invite you to participate in one of the following exciting events to take place at AFRIGRAPH2007: · Academic Paper Sessions · Tutorials · Art and Animation Gallery · Poster Session · Exhibition / Corporate Demo Reels AFRIGRAPH2007 is to be held at the campus of the beautiful and historic Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa. Grahamstown is located at the heart of the wild region of the Eastern Cape and is surrounded by wildlife and game lodges containing the Big 5. For more information regarding Grahamstown, visit the Grahamstown tourism website (http://www.grahamstown.co.za/). The keynote address at AFRIGRAPH2007 will be given by Professor Tom Furness, the founder of the Human Interface Technology Lab (HIT Lab) at University of Washington. Referred to as the 'Grandfather of Virtual Reality' due to his outstanding contribution to the advancement of this field, Tom Furness was responsible for the development of a new family of virtual interfaces that evolved into what we know today as virtual reality. He pioneered the development of both virtual displays and headmounted tracking systems, 3D sound systems and other interfaces. Professor Furness has been widely recognized for his outstanding career, he received the Satava Award (with the HIT Lab) for advances in medical technology and in 1998 he also received the Discover Award for Technological Innovation for his ground-breaking technology: the Virtual Retinal Display. The award is considered the equivalent of an Oscar for Science and Engineering.

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.

CfP-Reminder: Workshop on 3D Imaging

by Stefanie Behnke

[Apologies if you receive this CFP several times] -------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS (Reminder) -------------------------- WORKSHOP ON DYNAMIC 3D IMAGING IN CONJUNCTION WITH Symp. of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM September 11th, 2007, Heidelberg GENERAL INFORMATION http://www.multi-sensorics.de/dyn3d IMPORTANT DATES Submission of full papers: May 14th, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 30th, 2007 Final versions due: August 10th, 2007 Workshop: September 11th, 2007 SCOPE 3D imaging sensors have been investigated for several decades. In recent years, improvements on classical approaches like stereo vision on the one hand, and novel techniques like ZCam or Photonic Mixing Device (PMD) on the other hand have emerged, leading to 3D vision systems with radically improved characteristics. Presently, these techniques make full-range 3D data available at interactive frame rates, and thus open the path towards a much broader application of 3D vision systems. The workshop focuses on sensor systems, data processing approaches and systems incorporating interactive, full-range 3D sensors in specific application areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Development of full-range 3D sensors or sensor systems, including - active and passive 3D imaging systems - 3D sensors operating at optical, near-infrared, terahertz and microwave wavelengths - sensor simulation * Multi sensor fusion incorporating full-range 3D sensors * Data processing for dynamic full-range 3D-data, including - sensor based image synthesis - calibration techniques - 3D object recognition - 3D optical flow * Applications using interactive, full-range 3D sensors, e.g. in areas like - autonomous robotics - medicine - industrial automation Results of practical significance with an adequate inclusion of interactive 3D vision sensors will be considered. The content of submitted papers has to be novel.

EGWNP07 - 2nd Call for papers

by Stefanie Behnke

Please forward this info to interested colleagues, and please excuse multiple postings. Thank you! ************************************************************** 3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop website: http://www.cgg.cvut.cz/egwnp07 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Submission DEADLINE: May 18, 2007 Venue: September 4, 2007, Prague, Czech Republic ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************** AIMS AND SCOPE Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations. Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling, animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non-conscious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Plant structure modeling * Ecosystem simulation * Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog, ...) * Simulating liquid flows and rain * Modeling fire and smoke * Aging and weathering * Terrain modeling WORKSHOP FORMAT The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics 2007 Conference (September 4, Prague, Czech Republic) to encourage a broad range of participants. As such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend or present communications at both events. The workshop will be held in one day, including paper presentation and invited sessions. Participation is open to everyone, not requiring submission of a paper. Post-workshop proceedings will be available on-line through the Eurographics Digital Library and in paper book form in the Eurographics Book Series. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: May 18th, 2007 Notification of acceptance: June 18th, 2007 Camera-ready papers deadline: July 8th, 2007 Workshop (one full day): September 4, 2007 ORGANISING COMMITTEE Workshop Chairs * Eric Galin (FR) * Jaroslav Sloup (CZ) Program Chairs * David Ebert (US) * Stéphane Mérillou (FR) ************************************************************** For more information, please contact eric.galin(a)liris.cnrs.fr. **************************************************************
