Workshop ''TopoInVis 2005'' on Sept. 29 & 30 -- last minute option to participate

by Stefanie Behnke

Dear colleagues in the field of visualization research! Visualization research is at a point of reorientation -- many of us are considering questions such as ? What are the most challenging research questions in visualization? ? Where should we head for in scientific visualization research? One sub-field of visualization research, though, namely topology-based methods, still remains rich with a number of not sufficiently solved problems, e.g., topology-based visualization of time-dependent flows or visualization of tensor fields based on their topology. We -- this is Hans Hagen, Holger Theisel, myself (Helwig Hauser), and a few others (see the workshop home page) -- are organizing a workshop on topology-based methods in visualization to be held in Budmerice, Slovakia, on Sept. 29th and 30th (next month!), in a beautiful castle: TopoInVis 2005 http://www.VRVis.at/topo-in-vis/2005/ Below we append a list of talks which have been announced for the workshop to give you a better impression of this workshop. The capacity of the castle allows us to enable a few more researchers (and especially also a few more students) to participate in this workshop. If you respond soon to this eMail (via mailto:TopoInVis@VRVis.at), declaring your wish to participate, then we will issue a special registration code to you (also via eMail) which then will enable you to register for the workshop at the early bird fee. We are prepared to give at most ten of this special tickets away as well as ten more for interested students. We would be happy to welcome you at the workshop, with best regards, Helwig Hauser. -- Doz. Dr. Helwig Hauser, scientific director VRVis Research Center, http://www.VRVis.at/, mailto:Hauser@VRVis.at, tel.:+43(1)20501/30103

Call for Papers: Natural Phenomena Simulation

by Stefanie Behnke

Call for Papers Special Issue of the Elsevier Journal "Computers & Graphics" on: Natural Phenomena Simulation Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2005 Journal URL: http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/cag Since the beginning of computer graphics, researchers have been attracted to visually reproduce Nature's beauty and complexity present in a myriad of phenomena, from a small water droplet to a space nebula. During this time, different approaches have been taken to simulate such phenomena. Researchers working on entertainment applications, for example, usually emphasize the believable visual representation of natural phenomena, while researchers working on scientific applications usually focus their efforts on the accuracy of the models representing the underlying natural processes. Ideally, we would like to be able to create realistic displays of natural phenomena using accurate models in a reasonable time. Such a goal highlights one the most important research challenges facing the computer graphics community today, namely the predictive simulation of natural phenomena, involving both the light interaction with matter and the dynamics of natural systems. Predictive simulations make the image synthesis process more intuitive and have a broader scope of applications, including not only believable picture making, but also scientific and medical visualization. The key issue in this context, however, consists in establishing the predictability of the models. It is not a trivial task since computer models are intrinsically less predictable than physical phenomena. Currently, two guidelines are used in the development of predictive simulations of natural phenomena. First, the models are designed to be controlled by biophysically meaningful parameters. Second, their evaluation involves comparisons of modeled results with actual measured data or the real phenomenon. In this special issue, we welcome contributions describing original research work on natural phenomena simulation, preferably taking into account the predictability guidelines outlined above. Furthermore, due to the multidisciplinary nature of this theme, special attention will be given to papers that are supported by reliable scientific data from fields including, but not limited to, oceanography, remote sensing physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, and which can also provide evidence of practical contributions to these fields. Authors are encouraged to select one or more of the following topics: Gaseous Phenomena Atmospheric Phenomena Astrophysical Phenomena Spectral Rendering of Fluids Visualization of Fluid Flow Transformation of Materials (e.g., seasonal changes, tanning, melting etc...) Biophysically-Based Rendering of Organic Materials Biophysically-Based Animation of Biological Systems Important dates: E-mail expression of interest: as soon as possible Submission of contributions: September 30th, 2005 Notification of acceptance / rejection: December 1st, 2006 Submission of final manuscripts: February 1st, 2006 Publication: August, 2006 Guest Editors for this issue: Gladimir V.
