Visual Computing Trends 2009 in Vienna

by Stefanie Behnke

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. Please register at www.vrvis.at/visual-computing-trends/2009 or by email to visual-computing-trends(a)vrvis.at . Symposium organized by V R V i s Research Center ( www.vrvis.at ) in cooperation with Vienna University of Technology Austrian Chapter of Eurographics Austrian Computer Society OCG

EUROGRAPHICS 2009 - Call for Short, Education and Areas Papers =============================== EUROGRAPHICS 2009: 30th Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics March 30 - April 4, 2009 Munich, Germany Conference Chairs: Rüdiger Westermann, TU Munich, Germany David Kirk, NVIDIA, US Information: http://www.eurographics2009.de News: Papers program starts Tuesday and ends Friday at noon Deadlines (http://www.eurographics2009.de/calls/): Short papers Education papers, Areas papers: December 10, 2008 =============================== http://www.eurographics2009.de/calls/short_papers 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. http://www.eurographics2009.de/calls/education_papers/ 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.

Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2009: CFP

by Stefanie Behnke

Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena Munich, Germany, March 29, 2009 Workshop Chairs Eric Galin, F Jens Schneider, D Program Chairs Ming Lin, USA Michael Jones, UK Eric Galin, F 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. Important Dates December 16, 2008 Submission deadline January 30, 2009 Notification of acceptance February 14, 2009 Deadline for camera-ready copies March 29, 2009 Workshop (one full day) For more information, please contact eric.galin(a)liris.cnrs.fr.
