[Technical Papers]
http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/technical-papers
SIGGRAPH Asia 2010 Technical Papers presents a premier international forum for new research results in computer graphics and interactive techniques. Leading international experts from Asia and all over the world will present ground-breaking results in peer-reviewed research in fluids and flows, curves, character and crowd animation, sampling and filtering, geometric and volumetric reconstruction, modeling and rendering, computational imaging and video, and imaging hardware.
Technical Paper Highlights:
Video-Based Reconstruction of Animatable Human Characters http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/techpapers/34
This paper presents a technique for capturing multi-view video of an actor's performance. The captured virtual actor is represented as a skeleton with surface skinning, collision proxies, and a physics-based simulation model for moving cloth.
A Practical Appearance Model for Dynamic Facial Color
http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/techpapers/25
Human skin changes color as emotional states and types of expression change. This paper presents an appearance model based on real measurements of melanin and hemoglobin, which is efficiently coupled to a geometric facial-animation rig.
Optical Computing for Fast Light Transport Analysis
http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/techpapers/24
This paper shows how to efficiently perform numerical computations on a scene's unknown transport matrix (eigenvector analysis, low-rank approximation, inversion) by doing them partially in optics with projectors and cameras.
Context-Based Search for Models
http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/techpapers/28
This paper introduces a context-based search engine that uses information about the supporting scene a user is building to find good models.
[Courses]
SIGGRAPH Asia 2010 Courses focus on topics related to gaming, animation, and visual-effects techniques. It also includes a wide range of topics related to the basic foundations of computer graphics and highly technical summaries of the latest research breakthroughs.
Course presenters are established professional and renowned academics from 11 countries (15 from South Korea, 23 from North America, four from Europe, and some from the Asia-Pacific region) and some of the world's most prestigious academic institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Jeju University, and the Savannah College of Art and Design. Blizzard Entertainment, Industrial Light & Magic, Pixar Animation Studios, Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Game Studios, Disney Imagineering, NVIDIA, ARM, Google, Inc., and Weta Digital have also lent their support to SIGGRAPH Asia 2010.
Courses Highlights:
Geometry Simulation for Feature Films
http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/Courses/8
This course introduces how to make various simulations that use flesh mesh, cloth mesh, and rigid bodies in VFX movies. The course shows that non-programmer artists can create simulation setups from complex geometries.
"Gimmee Somethin' to Shoot": Filming the Cinematics for Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/Courses/22
Blizzard Entertainment's Film Department takes an in-depth look at the artistic and technical aspects of storytelling from 2D concepts to final artistic sequences on screen.

Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine
(Eurographics Medical Prize)
http://eg2011.bangor.ac.uk/calls/awards.html
The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition to acknowledge the contribution that computer graphics is playing in the medical field, and to encourage further development.
This year the Eurographics Medical Prize has been renamed to honor Dirk Bartz who passed away far too early in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was a highly recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher and promoter of Visual Computing in Medicine, an active member of the Eurographics Association, and Chair of the EG Medical Prize 2007 and 2009.
CALL
Submissions for the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 2011 are now being invited from researchers and developers who can demonstrate that a particular benefit has resulted from the use of computer graphics technology in a medical application that they have produced. Examples of entries could include the use of new data visualization techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments.
A list of winners of the last years can be found here <http://www.eg.org/EG/About/awards/HallOfFame_20100909.pdf> .
The Winners
The judging panel will select the winning entry on the basis of its clinical value, use made of computer graphics, and novelty.
The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 2011 will receive a prize of €500, €300, and €200, and a free registration to the conference to present their projects and to receive the prize. The submission of the winning teams will be published in the “Short and Areas Papers and Medical Prize Awards” proceedings.
All three winning teams will have an opportunity to briefly present their results at Eurographics 2011, which means that at least one author of each winning team must attend to present the results.

*** EGPGV 2011 - Call for Papers ***
Welcome to the 11th EGPGV, the Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics
and Visualization. The event will take place on April 10 - 11 in Llandudno
Wales, at Venue Cymru. The Symposium will be held in conjunction with
Eurographics 2011.
EGPGV is the premier international event focusing on parallel graphics and
visualization technology, where novel solutions exploiting and defining new
trends in parallel hardware and software architectures are presented. The
aim of the symposium is to strongly encourage exchange of experiences and
knowledge in parallel and distributed visual computing and its application
to all aspects of computer graphics and data visualization.
All papers should have a direct relation to some aspect of parallelism in
graphics or visualization such as multi-core computing, multi-pipe GPU
rendering/computing, distributed systems, clusters or grid environments. For
more information, pleaser refer to the symposium website
https://srm.eg.org/SRM_PGV11.
The proceedings of the Symposium will be published in the Eurographics
Proceedings Series and on the Eurographics Digital Library. Note that the
authors of up to three of the best papers from the EGPGV Symposium will be
invited to submit extended journal versions to IEEE Transactions on
Visualization and Computer Graphics.
