2nd Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling
Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, August 28-29, 2005

August 28-29, 2005 Workshop
Aims and Scope
Computers are now indispensable tools for various design activities ranging
from everyday document authoring to professional industrial and architecture
design. However, computers have yet to become usable at the very early
stages of design, where pencil and paper still reign. This is because
current user interfaces are too cumbersome for rapid exploration necessary
in these early stages. Sketching interfaces are emerging as an approach to
address this problem. They are expected to provide flexible, informal
interaction between computers and users that do not hinder creative
thinking.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for researchers
working on sketch-based interfaces to interact with one another, share
lessons learned, show new results, and discuss open issues. One direction to
explore is to develop new sketch-based interfaces for various applications
such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, and electronic note taking.
Another direction is to develop and improve technologies that support
sketch-based interfaces. They include classification and recognition of
handwritten texts and shapes, multimodal interfaces, and mobile computing
technologies. It is also important to clarify the nature of sketch-based
interfaces through empirical usability studies and careful comparison to
other interaction techniques. The proceedings will be published in EG
Workshop series and made available online through the Eurographics Digital
Library.
Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Sketch-based interfaces for 2D/3D computer graphics (modeling, animation,
etc.)
- Sketch-based interfaces for CAD systems
- Sketch-based interfaces for other applications (diagram editing, math
processing, etc.)
- Classification and recognition of handwritten sketches
- Multimodal interfaces for sketching
- Novel input technologies for sketching
- Rendering techniques for sketch-based interfaces (NPR)
- Creativity and design
- Usability studies on sketching
- Sketches for Medical and Volume data editing
Submission Procedure (all submissions are electronic) Authors are
requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, with the main
body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format as described in the
EG Publications pages. You can download LaTEX style files and for the
submissions. Each paper should contain title, authors' names and
affiliations, abstract, key-words, text, illustrations and references.
Submissions will be done electronically via email to
sbm05(a)ui.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp. We will accept papers in PDF format only.
Please contact the conference organizers should you experience any
problems with electronic submission. Selection will be based upon
technical and scientific content and relevance to the workshop.
Invited Speaker
Mark D Gross, Carnegie Mellon University
Venue and Fees
The workshop will be co-located with Eurographics 2005 . Workshop
participants will be charged a registration fee that includes a work-shop

2nd Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling
Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, August 28-29, 2005
http://www.eg.org/sbm/
Important Dates
May 30, 2005 Submission deadline
June 27, 2005 Notification of acceptance
July 11, 2005 Deadline for camera-ready copies
August 28-29, 2005 Workshop
Aims and Scope
Computers are now indispensable tools for various design activities ranging
from everyday document authoring to professional industrial and architecture
design. However, computers have yet to become usable at the very early
stages of design, where pencil and paper still reign. This is because
current user interfaces are too cumbersome for rapid exploration necessary
in these early stages. Sketching interfaces are emerging as an approach to
address this problem. They are expected to provide flexible, informal
interaction between computers and users that do not hinder creative
thinking.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for researchers
working on sketch-based interfaces to interact with one another, share
lessons learned, show new results, and discuss open issues. One direction to
explore is to develop new sketch-based interfaces for various applications
such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, and electronic note taking.
Another direction is to develop and improve technologies that support
sketch-based interfaces. They include classification and recognition of
handwritten texts and shapes, multimodal interfaces, and mobile computing
technologies. It is also important to clarify the nature of sketch-based
interfaces through empirical usability studies and careful comparison to
other interaction techniques. The proceedings will be published in EG
Workshop series and made available online through the Eurographics Digital
Library.
Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Sketch-based interfaces for 2D/3D computer graphics (modeling, animation,
etc.)
- Sketch-based interfaces for CAD systems
- Sketch-based interfaces for other applications (diagram editing, math
processing, etc.)
- Classification and recognition of handwritten sketches
- Multimodal interfaces for sketching
- Novel input technologies for sketching
- Rendering techniques for sketch-based interfaces (NPR)
- Creativity and design
- Usability studies on sketching
- Sketches for Medical and Volume data editing
Submission Procedure (all submissions are electronic)
Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, with the
main body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format as described in the EG
Publications pages. You can download LaTEX style files and for the

Call for Papers
Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena
http://egwnp.liris.cnrs.fr
Dublin, Ireland
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-concious 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
- Modeling fire and smoke
- Aging and weathering
- Terrain modeling
Submission Procedure (all submissions are electronic)
Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, with the
main body set in
Eurographics Conference Paper Format. You can download a set of LaTeX style
files from
http://egwnp.liris.cnrs.fr. Each paper should contain title, authors' names
and affiliations, abstract,
keywords, text, illustrations and references. Detailed guidelines are
available through the Workshop
Site. We will accept papers in PDF format only. Please contact the
conference organizers should
you experience any problems with electronic submission.
Post-workshop proceedings will be available on-line through the Eurographics
Digital Library
and in paper book form in the Eurographics Book Series. Selection will be
based upon technical
and scientific content and relevance to the workshop.
Workshop Format
The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics'05 Conference
(August 30, Dublin, Ireland)
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.
