Introduction
We are pleased to announce High-Performance Graphics 2012. High Performance
Graphics is the leading international forum for performance-oriented
graphics systems research including innovative algorithms, efficient
implementations, and hardware architecture. The conference brings together
researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions
of massively parallel hardware, novel programming models, efficient graphics
algorithms, and novel applications. High Performance Graphics was founded in
2009 to synthesize and broaden on two important and well-respected
conferences in computer graphics: <http://www.graphicshardware.org/>
Graphics Hardware and <http://www.sci.utah.edu/rt08/> Interactive Ray
Tracing.
Conference Info
The conference, which will take place on June 25-27, is co-located with the
<http://telecom-paristech.fr/EGSR2012/> Eurographics Symposium on Rendering
in Paris, France. HPG 2012 is co-sponsored by Eurographics and ACM SIGGRAPH.
The program features three days of paper and industry presentations, with
ample time for discussions during breaks, lunches, and the conference
banquet. The conference website is located at
<http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/>
http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/
Posters
We invite the submission of posters describing on-going or late-breaking
work. In addition to traditional posters, this session will be enhanced to
provide opportunities for paper authors to present implementation details or
hands-on demonstrations.
The deadline for poster submissions is Monday, May 7. Notification of
acceptance is Monday, May 14.
To submit a poster, please:
* Prepare an extended abstract (one page maximum) that summarizes the
work using the paper format described above.
* Prepare a high-quality version of the final poster.
* Send both items (in PDF format) to
<mailto:posters@highperformancegraphics.org>

Additional information:
* Posters will be exhibited in the break areas throughout the
conference. For each poster, we will attempt to make space available for
interactive demonstrations (if necessary and only upon request).
* Poster authors will be responsible for printing the poster, bringing
it to the conference, and putting it up. Easels will be provided.

Hot 3D Systems Track
We invite vendors in the graphics industry to present their latest and
greatest 3D chips, high-performance software, and system designs.
Presentations should be 20 minutes long, technical rather than
marketing-oriented, and with a focus on real products. Hot 3D presentations

http://conferences.inf.ed.ac.uk/sca2012
May 29th, 2012: Deadline for full and short paper submission
======================================================
SCA 2012 will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, from July 29-31.
The venue is the Polydome at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne,
with a welcome reception at the Rolex Learning Centre and Farewell drinks at
the Château de Glérolles.
The Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) is the premiere forum for
innovations in the software and technology of computer animation. The 11th
annual event 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!
We invite submissions of original, high-quality papers on computer
animation, broadly defined as computation dealing with time-varying
phenomena. Each submission will be refereed on the basis of technical
quality, novelty, significance, and clarity. The SCA 2012 electronic
proceedings will be archived in the EG and ACM digital libraries. There will
be best paper awards, and honorable mentions to the top 10% of submissions.
Top papers will also be invited to have extended versions appear in a TVCG
Special Section.
NEW THIS YEAR: we are also inviting short paper submissions for quick
dissemination of compact and good ideas in a shorter presentation format.
Short papers should be 4 to 6 pages, and will be included in the main track
of the conference and will also appear in the electronic proceedings and be
archived in the EG and ACM digital libraries.
Authors of some declined papers with high potential will be invited to
submit their work to the combined posters and demos sessions.
We invite work on a broad range of topics, including:
2D, 3D, and N-D animation systems
animation systems
autonomous characters
clothing animation and simulation
expressive motion / communication
facial animation
group and crowd behavior
intuitive interfaces for creating and editing animations mathematical
foundations of animation methods of control and artistic direction of
simulations nature in motion (natural phenomena, plants, clouds, ...) new
time-based art forms on the computer novel time-varying phenomena perceptual
metrics for animation perceptual foundations of animation physical realism /
measuring the real world for animation physical simulation planning /
learning / optimization for animation real-time and interactive methods
sound and speech for animation as well as on related problems in robotics,
game development, human-computer interaction, simulation, visualization,
computer vision, and others.
Posters:
We also invite submissions to the poster and demo session. As in previous
years, the poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA
program. There will be a posters fast-forward session during which all
presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-minute description of
their work. The poster and demo session will be integrated with the wine and
cheese social event. Note that posters are not formal publications, so work
submitted as a poster is still eligible for later publication, and will be
exempt from inclusion in the ACM and Eurographics Digital Libraries. Details
regarding submission format will be announced closer to the deadline.
Important Dates:
May 29th, 2012: Deadline for SCA paper submission June 25th, 2012:
Notification of conditionally accepted papers June 30th, 2012: Deadline for
poster submissions July 12th, 2012: Notification of poster acceptance July
