====== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTION ==========
COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROSTATICS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
Geometric and numerical approaches to the description
of electrostatic interaction between biological macromolecules
Italian Institute of Technology, Genova 1-3 July 2013
<http://www.electrostaticszone.eu/index.php/ceba-introduction>
http://www.electrostaticszone.eu/index.php/ceba-introduction
co-located with SGP'13
===== ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 16TH ==========
Geometry and function are interconnected in many complex physical and
biological problems. CEBA'13 is intended to provide an international forum
to discuss and explore different approaches to improve the electrostatics
calculations in the Molecular Biology field by setting up a truly
interdisciplinary context of researchers in Geometry Processing, Shape
Modeling, Applied Mathematics, and Computational Biology and Chemistry.
CEBA'13 is co-organized by the Drug Discovery and Development Unit of the
Italian Institute of Technology and by the Shape Modeling Group of IMATI-CNR
and, to foster an interdisciplinary participation, it is co-located with the
EG Symposium on Geometry Processing 2013, (3-5 July 2013), a premier venue
for exchanging research results on a wide range of topics related to the
creation of mathematical foundations and practical algorithms for the
processing of complex geometric data sets and models.
The scope of the meeting is quite broad. However, a special focus on
theoretical, numerical and modeling aspects of the Poisson-Boltzmann
equation and its applications to the NanoBiotechnology field will be given.
The scientific program will be based on different sessions, with plenary
lectures, oral communications, and poster sessions. The first day will be
mostly devoted to the model and numerical aspects of the Poisson-Boltzmann
equation solution, the second day will focus on geometric approaches and
discretization issues and the third will feature biological applications. A
special hands on DelPhi session is envisioned, allowing young researchers
interested in how to exploit the functionalities of the DelPhi
Poisson-Boltzmann solver to walk through worked examples and ask questions
on specific issues.
The list of confirmed speakers can be found on the workshop web site, at the

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2013 ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games 2013 (MIG)
November 7-9, 2013, Dublin, Ireland
Submission Deadline: July 9, 2013
<http://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/MIG2013/>
http://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/MIG2013/
====================================================================
The Sixth International Conference on Motion in Games (MIG) will be hosted
in the historic city of Dublin, Ireland from November 7-9, 2013. MIG 2013
will be held in cooperation with Eurographics and, for the first time this
year, it will be sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH, with papers appearing in the ACM
digital library.
Our confirmed speaker list for this year includes:
Stelian Coros, Disney Research, Zurich
Stephen Guy, University of Minnesota
Mark Pauly, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) Ben
Sunshine-Hill, Havok
Games have become a very important medium for education, therapy and
entertainment. Motion plays a crucial role in computer games.
Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical
constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene.
Even the motion of the player is used as input to games. Motion is currently
studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and
animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also
physics, psychology, and urban studies. Cross-fertilization between these
communities can considerably advance the state-of- the-art in the area. The
goal of the Motion in Games conference is to bring together researchers from
this variety of fields to present their most recent results, to initiate
collaborations, and to contribute to the establishment of the research area.
The conference will consist of regular paper sessions, poster presentations,
as well as presentations by a selection of established researchers in areas
related to games and simulation. The conference program will also include
cultural and social events that foster casual and friendly interactions
among the participants.
The relevant topics include (but are not limited to):
Animation Systems
Animation Algorithms and Techniques
Character Animation
Behavioral Animation
Facial Animation
Particle Systems
Simulation of Natural Environments
Natural Motion Simulation
Virtual Humans
Physics-based Motion
Crowd Simulation
Path Planning
Navigation and Way-finding
Flocking and Steering Behavior
Camera Motion
Object Manipulation
Motion Capture Techniques
Motion Analysis and Synthesis
Gesture Recognition
Papers should be submitted using the MIG online submission system:
<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mig2013>
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mig2013
Papers should be formatted using the SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines:
<http://www.siggraph.org/publications/acmsiggraph.zip>
http://www.siggraph.org/publications/acmsiggraph.zip
There are several options for submission which are detailed below. The
review process will be double-blind.
Long papers: Long papers should be 7-10 pages long. They should include a
significant contribution to the state of the art.
Short Papers: Short papers should be 4-6 pages long. Short papers should
include an augmentation or new application of existing work. Short papers
can also contain the mature seeds of new research.
Posters: Two types of work can be submitted directly for poster
presentation:
1. Work that has been published elsewhere but is of particular
relevance to the MIG community can be submitted as a poster. This
work and the venue in which it was published should be identified
in the abstract.
2. Work that is of interest to the MIG community but is not yet
mature enough to appear as a short or long paper.
Posters will not appear in the official MIG proceedings but will appear in
an online database for distribution at author's discretion.
Accepted papers will be presented at the conference during oral sessions, or
as posters during a poster session. Best Paper and Best Student Paper awards
will be conferred during the conference. In the previous year the 5 best
papers were invited for publication in a special issue of the Journal of
Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds
(CAVW) published by Wiley. Similar plans have been made for the 2013
meeting.
