Pacific Graphics 2017 will be hosted by National Chiao Tung University and
held in Taipei, Taiwan, during October 16-19, 2017. Pacific Graphics is an
annual international conference on computer graphics and applications. As a
highly successful conference series, Pacific Graphics provides a premium
forum for researchers, developers, practitioners in the Pacific Rim and
around the world to present and discuss new problems, solutions, and
technologies in computer graphics and related areas.
Paper submission
Original unpublished papers are invited in all areas of computer graphics
and its applications. The topics include (but are not limited to) modeling,
rendering, animation, and imaging, as well as visualization, human-computer
interaction, and graphics systems and applications. Any interesting new
ideas related to computer graphics and applications are welcome.
Paper publication
The conference proceedings of Pacific Graphics 2017 will be published as an
issue of the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF), the journal of the Eurographics
Association, in print and online. Regular (full) papers will be presented in
oral sessions and appear in the journal issue. A few submissions with strong

SCA is the premier forum for innovations in the software and technology of
computer animation. It unites researchers and practitioners working on all
aspects of time-based phenomena. Our focused, intimate gathering, with
single track program and emphasis on community interaction, makes SCA the
best venue to exchange research results, get inspired, and set up
collaborations. Don't miss out!

COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2017 (CGVC2017)
The 35th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics
Association, 14-15 September 2017, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2017/
The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK
working in computer graphics and visual computing. It attracts researchers
from across the country and from further afield.
The 2017 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an
overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on
increasing the dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in
academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such
dialogue, we are seeking contributions mainly in the form of extended
abstract and industrial demonstrations. However, we also welcome submissions
of full papers.
Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research. Papers
will be refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of
accepted papers will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the
conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library
and will count as full paper publications.
Extended abstract - an abstract of up to 1000 words, plus figures and
references. An extended abstract can describe work in progress, interim
results, industrial work, or research presented more fully elsewhere.
Extended abstracts will also be refereed by a panel drawn from the EGUK
programme committee. All accepted extended abstracts will be presented as
posters in a poster session and authors of selected submissions will also be
expected to give a 15 minute presentation at the conference.
Industrial project abstracts - a technical abstract of 1 to 4 pages,
demonstrating implementations and/or product development. Technical
abstracts will be presented at the conference site as large format posters
during a poster session.
Accepted abstracts will appear in the Eurographics digital library. An
extended abstract and industrial project abstract will not be considered as
a full paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page
sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such,
presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your
ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. See
full instruction at the conference website.
Topics include but are not limited to:
● Computer animation and image-based animation
● Computer-based arts and entertainment
● Vision-based techniques and image processing
● Acquisition and reconstruction techniques
● Graphics architectures and acceleration hardware
● Medical imaging
● Multimedia visualisation
● Computer Games
● Rendering techniques
● Scientific visualization and big data
● Information visualization and visual analytics
● Augmented reality and collaborative environments
● Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices
● Human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics
● Modelling methods

Dear colleagues,
we are looking for highly motivated candidates for an open PhD position in
the National Centre for Computer Animation (NCCA), Faculty of Media and
Communication, Bournemouth University, UK. This is a fully-funded 3-year PhD
studentship which includes a stipend of £14,000 each year to support living
costs.
This project "Interactive Hybrid Modelling of Heterogeneous Volumetric
Objects" involves the research, design and development of a generic
interactive modelling software system oriented to hybrid modelling of
heterogeneous volumetric objects. The overall project involves the research
and development of new mathematical techniques and algorithms, and the
development of novel software tools, possibly including an Application
Programming Interface (API), a scripting language and a Graphical User
Interface (GUI). An orientation towards the digital fabrication (3D
printing) of the produced geometric models is an additional aspect of this
research project. The exact scope of the project will be defined taking into
account a particular PhD student's interests and skills.
This is project relevant to several application areas such Computer-Aided
Design (CAD), computer simulation and animation, additive manufacturing,
computer art and cultural heritage preservation. A variety of research
problems are to be addressed.
Fundamental research concerned with geometric and topological
representations of multi-material heterogeneous objects will benefit from
new mathematical models and their mapping to data structures and operations.
Applied research will benefit from the development of new efficient
algorithms for realising and transforming both the geometry and physical
properties of volume objects, especially multi-material ones, devising the
specialist high-level language, rendering and fabrication algorithms, and
system architecture design.
The beneficiaries of this project will be CAD and animation system
developers, 3D printers production companies, art and design communities,
and education. The output of the research in the form of the innovative
modelling system will open up new application areas that are impossible to
achieve using existing CAD and animation systems. Designers and animators
will get easier available tools fine-tuned to their specific styles and
facilitating the production of advanced multi-material volume models.
Teachers and students will hopefully use the developed tools for learning
and exploring mathematical and physical dynamic phenomena.
Candidates must demonstrate outstanding academic potential with preferably a
1st class honours degree and/or a Masters degree with distinction or
equivalent Grade Point Average. An IELTs (Academic) score of 6.5 minimum
(with a minimum 5.5 in each component) is essential for candidates for whom
English is not their first language.

The closing date for applications is Friday 14 April 2017.
The Visual Computing Laboratory (ISTI-CNR) and prof. Marco Tarini of
Insubria University have recently won National and European grants for 4
research projects:
- "DSurf: Scalable Computational Methods for 3D Printing Surfaces" (Italian
funding scheme PRIN) on 3D printing technologies
- "EMOTIVE" (EC project H2020) on Virtual/Augmented Reality technologies
for enriching the museum experience
- International Joint Laboratory - National Research Council of Italy (CNR)
and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), on 3D digitization
- "SmartCarePad" (Regional project on 3D printing for medicine)
Very soon, a few new positions will be opened to work with these two
research groups.
We are looking for young and motivated researchers willing to work on 3D
Computer Graphics (subtopics: 3D digitization, Visualization and Rendering,
Geometry Processing and Digital Fabrication).
Eligible master-level candidates may also have the chance to earn a PhD
title.
Calls will be announced soon on the web page of the Visual Computing
Laboratory
