Invitation to participate in the symposium:
---------------------------------------------
| VISUAL COMPUTING TRENDS 2009 |
| 28 January, 2009 |
| Vienna, Austria |
---------------------------------------------
Visual Computing is the discipline of computer science which deals with the
acquisition, representation, manipulation, analysis, synthesis and
application of visual information, i.e. images and image sequences in a
spatial and temporal context. Visual Computing has evolved from the
methodological merging of image processing, computer vision, computer
graphics and visualization.
The symposium will give you an overview of future developments in Visual
Computing by top-level invited experts. You will learn about key open
challenges and scientific and industrial trends. Participants are
encouraged to participate in extended discussions on core technological
issues.
Program now available at www.vrvis.at/visual-computing-trends/2009
Participation is free, however advance registration is requested.

Authors are invited to submit proposals for short presentations of recent
results, work in progress, and new ideas. Papers should be no longer than 4
pages, and accepted papers will be published in the Short Papers proceedings
of the conference. We encourage submissions from all areas related to
computer graphics, such as rendering, modeling, visualization, animation,
simulation, virtual reality, computer vision, and imaging.
http://www.eurographics2009.de/calls/areas/
In 2009, Eurographics will have a special focus on Computational Graphics,
aiming at the creation of hardware graphics acceleration pipelines for new
graphics techniques and systems, and on Interactive Visual Exploration of
Heterogeneous Geospatial Information. In this way, Eurographics 2009 aims at
promoting geospatial information systems as one of the driving applications
for computer graphics techniques, and it acknowledges the efforts that have
been put into the development of new architectures for visual computing and
rendering.

The Fifth Education Track, part of the programme of Eurographics 2009, will
be held on March 31, 2009. The goal of the meeting is to present experiences
and discuss new ideas regarding educational issues in the broad field of
computer graphics, visual computing and related disciplines.

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'09 Conference
(March 29, Munich, Germany) 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.

December 16, 2008 Submission deadline
