The VRIPhyS workshop has been held annually since 2004 as a forum for
discussing current research and new technology in the domain of dynamic
simulation and physical interaction in virtual environments. We particularly
encourage submission of works in the medical domain due to its strong ties
to the workshop topics, which include but are not limited to:
* Deformable objects
* Physical standards for assessing deformable objects
* Natural phenomena modeling
* Collision detection techniques
* Geometric algorithms for physical simulation
* Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces
* Physically based dynamics

**** Eurographics 2008 Annual Conference ****
** Call for Participation - Full Papers **
Eurographics '2008, the 29th annual conference of the European Association
for Computer Graphics will be hosted by FORTH, Crete, Greece on April
14th-18th, 2008.
The Eurographics Annual Conference is a leading international event
devoted to computer graphics and all related visual and interactive
domains.
We announce a major change in 2008: this edition will be the first one
to be held in the spring. The paper submission deadline will thus be in
late September 2007.
Important dates:
Deadline for Abstracts: September 21st, 2007
Full Paper deadline: ** September 26th, 2007 **
Notification of decisions: November 19th, 2007
Authors are invited to submit original papers reporting research
contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications. Papers
are sought in all areas of Computer Graphics: rendering, modeling,
animation, interactive techniques, virtual reality, visualization,
and other relevant topic areas. Moreover, the 2008 edition will have
a special focus on the cross-fertilization between CG, computer vision
and human-computer interaction.
Conference proceedings will be published in the Computer Graphics Forum
journal, volume 27(2).

Eurographics 2008 Annual Conference
http://www.ics.forth.gr/eg2008/
Crete, Greece
April 14-18, 2008
Call for Tutorials
Eurographics 2008, the 29th annual conference of the European Association
for Computer Graphics, invites international experts to present half day or
full day tutorials providing in-depth knowledge and sharing their experience
on a variety of topics in computer graphics and related areas.
Proposed tutorials may address topics of interest to the Computer Graphics
community at large, such as (but not limited to) Imaging and Rendering
techniques, 3D user interfaces, interaction methods and methodologies,
modelling and simulation, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Augmented Reality,
high performance graphics, computer graphics over high speed networks and
others. Proposals are welcome on topics that have been previously addressed;
however, new approaches or insights will be especially valued.
Tutorial topics will be presented in a taught format, ranging from
practical guidelines to academic issues and theory, and may be addressed to
an audience at an introductory or advanced level.
Each group of speakers will receive:
a.. An honorarium of ?400 for a full day tutorial or ?200 for a half day
tutorial, per group. If a tutorial is presented by more than one lecturer,
this payment will be divided pro-rata between them.
b.. One free registration for the conference and one complimentary
ticket for conference events, per group. If more than one person gives the
tutorial, only one free registration and one free ticket for conference
events are provided.
All tutorial lecturers are allowed to attend other tutorials at no extra
charge, subject to space being available.
Submission Details
Tutorial proposals, typically 4 pages, should be submitted in electronic
form by October 5th, 2007, in PDF format. Submitted tutorial proposals
should contain the following information:
a.. Author(s) detail(s):
a.. Name(s)
b.. Institution
c.. E-mail addresse(s)
d.. URL
b.. Tutorial details:
a.. Title of Tutorial
b.. Abstract of the tutorial
c.. Keywords
d.. Half or full day tutorial (either 2x90 minutes or 4x90 minutes)
c.. A detailed outline of the tutorial, including possibly schedule and
a list of relevant publications.
d.. A statement of the necessary background and potential target
audience for the tutorial.
e.. A brief resume of the presenter(s) indicating their background in
the tutorial area.
f.. If a (similar) tutorial was previously held, the location (i.e.
which conference), date, and the number of attendees.
All tutorial proposals will be reviewed by external reviewers and the
tutorial co-chairs, based on the quality of the submitted proposals, the
qualification of the presenters, relevance to the conference, and balance of
topics.
Important dates
Tutorials submission deadline:
Friday, October 5, 2007 (24:00 GMT)
Notification date:
Friday, December 7, 2007
