by Stefanie Behnke

******Extended Deadline for Scientific and Industry Posters**** EXTENDED Deadline for poster submissions: 9th May, 2008 ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics Symposium on Computer Animation 2008 July 7-9, 2008 Dublin, Ireland Symposium's web site: http://gv2.cs.tcd.ie/sca08 TRAVEL BURSARIES: Please note that there will be around 25 student travel bursaries of up to ?500 each (US$790) this year to help defray the cost of travel. Preference will be given to authors of papers and posters and to students with larger travel costs. Exact award amounts will depend on the final number of awarded bursaries. POSTERS AND DEMOS A poster and demo presentation is the perfect opportunity for authors to display and discuss late-breaking technical achievements that are either not ready or not suitable for publication as full papers. The poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA program, with specific time allotted for poster presenters and symposium participants to view and discuss the work. A pamphlet containing summaries of the posters will be distributed to all participants, and all presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-minute description of their work during a poster fast-forward session. ****Eligibility Poster presentations are not formal publications, so work submitted as a poster is still eligible for later publication in a journal or conference proceedings. We encourage any of the following types of poster submissions: * Up and coming computer animation research * Technically novel production work * Work done outside of SCA that would be of interest to the computer animation community. This includes animation-related works recently accepted to other conferences such as I3D or NPAR, or the SIGGRAPH Sketches program. * Lab overviews which present a snapshot of the ongoing animation-related research at a given institution. Please note that in order to maintain the quality of discussions and interactivity at the poster session, there must be at least one dedicated presenter for each poster. ****Format The submission for a poster should consist of a summary of no more than 2 pages in length. Each submission must be saved as PDF and formatted according to the EG publication style. Latex example available at: http://gv2.cs.tcd.ie/sca08/SCAPoster08.zip. Submissions must be camera-ready. This means that author names must be present in the submission. The review process will be single blind. ****Supplementary Materials The submission of supplementary materials is not required; however, a draft of the poster in PDF format is encouraged. For the final presentation, videos and interactive demonstrations are also highly encouraged. We will provide electrical outlets and tables so that authors can display such demonstrations using their own equipment. ****Electronic Submission All PDF poster summaries should be submitted via email to SCA2008.Posters(a)gmail.com by the deadline. Due to GMails limits, each email message must be less than 10MB. If this is not sufficient for your submission or supplemental materials, you may send your submission in parts as attachments to several emails. For supplemental materials, links to external websites are also allowable. ****Fast Forward Slide Authors of accepted posters will be required to provide a PowerPoint slide describing their work for the poster fast forward presentation session. Details about preparation of the slide will be provided later via email to accepted presenters.

by Stefanie Behnke

Point-Based Graphics 2008 - Call for Papers Los Angeles, CA, USA - August 9-10, 2008 http://www.point-graphics.org Submission Deadline: April 30, 2008 Co-sponsored by Eurographics and the IEEE-CS Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC) The drive for increasingly complex 3D geometric models, especially those scanned from the real-world, has brought about a growing interest in methods that build on point primitives. Following the highly successful 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 Symposia on Point-Based Graphics, the 5th symposium of its series, PBG08, aims to further demonstrate the applicability of point-based methods in modeling, rendering, and simulation, and in a wide range of application domains. PBG08 will take place in in Los Angeles, CA, USA, from August 9-10, 2008, co-located with ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 and co-organized with the International Symposium on Volume Graphics (VG08). We invite your original contributions in areas including, but not limited to, the following: - Data acquisition and surface reconstruction - Geometric modeling using point primitives - Sampling, approximation, and interpolation - Transmission and compression of point-sampled geometry - Rendering algorithms for point primitives - Geometry processing of point models - Topological properties of point clouds - Hardware architectures for point primitives - Animation and morphing of point-sampled geometry - Hybrid representations and algorithms - Use of point-based methods in real-world applications PBG was established do develop and leverage the newly created field of point based graphics and to establish a community of its own. With the 5. symposium of this kind in 2008 and the broad spectrum of scientific publications on the subject, we believe that our initial mission is accomplished. At the same time we observe a natural evolution and confluence of point graphics and volume graphics into the broader field of "Sample Based Graphics". In order to address this development VG'08 and PBG'08 will organize a joint track on the topic to evaluate its suitability as new direction into which both symposia might evolve in the years to come.

SAMT 2008 - CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

by Stefanie Behnke

*************************************************************** * SAMT 2008 - CALL FOR WORKSHOPS * * 3rd International Conference on * * Semantics And digital Media Technologies * * Koblenz, Germany, 3-5 December 2008 * *************************************************************** In cooperation with ACM, IEEE, and Eurographics. SAMT 2008 invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the Third International Conference on Semantics And digital Media Technology. Workshops will be held on Wednesday, December 3, 2008, before the start of the main technical program. --------------------- Objectives and Topics --------------------- As the volume of multimedia material grows, so do the problems of managing of distribution and access to multimedia content. The SAMT conference series addresses these problems from the perspective of semantics and pragmatics of multimedia generation, management and user access. As well as research papers, the conference programme also includes workshops and tutorials. The purpose of the SAMT workshops programme is to provide a platform for presenting and exchanging research ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. They should stimulate and facilitate an atmosphere of active and constructive exchange on current issues of interest. They also offer a good opportunity for young researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community. We are seeking proposals for workshops that will encourage discussions on how to bridge the gap between low-level data representations used in media such as computer graphics, images, and audio, and the high-level meaning that content providers and users associate with multimedia content. In particular, from a content perspective, we encourage workshops that: i) investigate the use and application of technologies for improving multimedia access and processing; ii) explore best practices and adaptation of those technologies in these contexts. These workshops are expected to complement those that focus on fundamental research issues and multi-disciplinary topics. Workshop proposals should address current issues related to semantics and digital media that will benefit from the small-group format that workshops provide for information exchange and discussion. Workshops are intended to be genuine interactive events and not mini-conferences. We strongly encourage workshop submissions on falling within the main six main themes of the conference: 1) Semantic Analysis and Multimedia 2) Semantic Retrieval and Multimedia 3) Semantic Metadata Management of Multimedia 4) Semantic User Interfaces for Multimedia 5) Semantics in Visualization and Computer Graphics 6) Applications of Semantic Multimedia --------------------- Submitting a Proposal --------------------- Workshop proposals should be no more than 3 pages in length and should contain the following information: 1) The title and brief description of the workshop, specifying the goals and the technical issues that it will focus on. How relevant and significant this workshop is to the conference. 2) A brief description of why and to whom the workshop is of interest, and the expected range of number of participants. 3) A brief description of the proposed workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussion. 4) An indication of whether the workshop should be considered for a half-day or full-day meeting. 5) Links to relevant material, related workshops or similar events, project web sites etc. 6) The names and contact information (web page, email address) of the proposed organizing committee, short description of their relevant experience and short CVs. We strongly advise having more than one organizer, preferably from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. Workshop attendees will have to pay the SAMT 2008 workshop registration fee, and also register and attend the main SAMT 2008 conference. The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their workshop and for the reviewing process for their workshop's papers. Please send your proposals by 15 May 2008 and any inquiries by email to the Workshop Chairs. The submission templates and instructions can be downloaded from the conference web page http://samt2008.uni-koblenz.de ---------- Conference ---------- The 3-day-conference gives us the opportunity to take part in various additional activities such as: industrial exhibition, social events, excursions, etc. The conference will take place in Koblenz, a 2000-year-old town situated in the picturesque landscape of the Rhine and Moselle. The region of Koblenz is also famous for its excellent wines.
