2010 International Conference on Cyberworlds
20-22 October 2010, Singapore http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/SCE/cw2010
Organized by the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological
University, Singapore.
In cooperation with Eurographics Association and Interactive Digital Media
R&D Program Office, Media Development Authority of Singapore The application
for IEEE Computer Society technical co-sponsorship has been submitted.
Cyberworlds are information worlds or communities created on cyberspace by
collaborating participants either intentionally or spontaneously. As
information worlds, they accumulate information regardless whether or not
anyone is in, and they can be with or without 2D or 3D visual graphics
appearance. The examples of such cyberworlds are communities created in
different social networking services, 3D shared virtual environments, and
multiplayer online games. Cyberworlds are closely related to the real world
and have a serious impact on it. Cyberworlds have been created and applied
in such areas as e-business, e-commerce, e-manufacturing, e-learning,
e-medicine, and cultural heritage, etc. Cyberworlds augment and sometimes
replace the real life and become a significant component of real economy.
The international conferences on Cyberworlds have being organized annually
since 2002 with the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society and
special issues published in The Visual Computer and other research journals.
10th in the series, CW2010 will consist of paper sessions, tutorials,
industrial seminars, exhibitions and hands-on demonstrations where
researchers, artists, and vendors will show the state-of-the-art in the
field. CW2010 will have several parallel tracks including but not limited to
the following topics:
- Shared virtual worlds
- Collaborative spaces
- Virtual humans and avatars
- Intelligent talking agents
- Augmented reality in collaborative spaces
- Networked collaboration
- Haptic interaction and rendering
- Cognitive informatics
- Brain-computer interfaces
- EEG-based emotion recognition
- E-learning in virtual collaborative spaces
- Online multiplayer games
- Art and heritage in cyberspace
The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society,
placed in the IEEE Xplore and Computer Society digital libraries, and
submitted for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and
other indexing services.
The best full papers will be selected for 2 special issues of the following

Eurographics 2010 Area Papers
In 2010, Eurographics will have a special focus on Mobile Visual Computing
and Dome Displays (http://www.eurographics2010.se/calls/area_papers/) which
will have paper sessions and other events within the conference devoted to
them.
With Mobile Visual Computing we understand any aspects of computing images
for display on handheld devices, including software or hardware techniques
from graphics, vision and image processing, user interfaces and interaction.
Domed displays, with real-time computing, are becoming a much more widely
used approach to immersive computer graphics. The number of such sites is
increasingly rapidly and the technology and applications must advance to
meet the new challenges and opportunities which these systems provide. A new
domed display environment will be commissioned in Norrköping immediately
prior to the Eurographics conference, just minutes away from the conference
centre. It is intended that the dome will be used to host the dome areas
events and papers, and will provide an excellent environment for authors and
exhibitors to demonstrate new ideas for domed environments.
List of Topics
Suggested topics in the two areas are listed below but submissions are not
limited to just these topics, simply to the defined areas.
Mobile Visual Computing:
a.. Mobile graphics algorithms
b.. Mobile graphics applications
c.. Mobile graphics hardware
d.. Graphical user interfaces for mobile devices
e.. Visualization on handheld devices
f.. Handheld displays
g.. Mobile augmented reality
h.. Mobile computational photography
i.. User studies, human factors, evaluation of interaction techniques
Domed Displays:
a.. Projection systems and technologies
b.. Audio environment technologies and methods
c.. Interaction systems for small and large audiences
d.. Software development platforms
e.. Mixed media dome shows
f.. Combining live performance in dome environments
g.. Dome special effects
h.. Applications: practical, education and entertainment
Accepted papers will be presented at Eurographics 2010 as an oral
presentation, and will be published in the Areas Papers proceedings and
included in the conference digital media.
Authors are invited to submit both normal research papers, as well as
contributions that might be difficult to position as a regular or a short
paper because they are too much oriented towards the application or address
emergent, yet preliminary ideas on the future of Mobile Visual Computing and
Dome Displays.
The submission deadline for areas papers is December 11, 2009.
For any question concerning areas papers submissions please contact the
areas programme co-chairs: areas(a)eurographics2010.se
Submission Details
Submitted areas papers should be formatted according to the Eurographics
Areas publication style. For submission purposes, you should submit a paper
of up to 8 pages in length, or four pages for a short paper, according to
the submission guidelines. Anonymous submissions will be made electronically
through the Eurographics online submission system. Please indicate the area
to which your work is submitted.

2nd Eurographics Workshop on
Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine (EG VCBM)
July 1-2, 2010 - Universitaet Leipzig, Germany
http://vcbm.org/2010
Aims and Scope
--------------
Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine addresses the integration of
state-of-the-art visualization and image analysis for application to
research in biology and medicine. Integrating visualization and image
analysis brings with it particular challenges, but also yields new
possibilities, especially when extended for application to the wide gamut of
research topics in biology and medicine, such as molecular imaging,
quantitative longitudinal studies, pre- and intra-operative surgical
guidance, and the diverse field of system biology.
VCBM is unique in that it will bring together researchers and practitioners
from visualization, image processing and biology and medicine. We expect to
attract a number of attendees with biological and medical backgrounds, also
from the surrounding academic medical centers. This will pose a unique
opportunity to showcase the latest ideas from engineering and science, to
get feedback from biological and medical practitioners, and to explore new
possibilities for cooperative research. VCBM solicits the submission of
original application-oriented research papers that advance the fusion of
visualization and image analysis with imaging-based medicine and biological
science. All papers should focus on a well-defined biological or medical
context, and should demonstrate a significant innovation or improvement in
visual computing that addresses ongoing problems in that context.
Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to:
- Applications in cardiovascular medicine, neurosurgery, radiology, and
other medical disciplines
- Applications on Gene Expression Data and other system biology topics
- Visualization methods for neurobiology, plant biology and developmental
biology
- Interactive segmentation and registration
- Computer-aided diagnosis and detection
- Intervention and therapy planning (eg. pre-operative surgical or radiation
therapy planning)
- Intra-operative guidance for surgery
- Visualization and Simulation for Surgical Training
- Coupled simulation and visualization
- Multi-field medical visualization and processing (multi-modality,
structural + functional)
- Perception-based studies for medical visual computing
- Reconstruction from image data, such as microscopic or radiological data
- Creation and visualization of biological/medical atlases
Submission Information
----------------------
Paper submission is electronic only. Full details, including formatting
instructions and the submission procedure are provided through the workshop
webpage at http://vcbm.org/2010/submission-info/. Papers should be formatted
according to the EG workshop publication guidelines
(http://www.eg.org/publications/guidelines). You are strongly recommended to
use the respective EG LaTeX style files available. Papers should not exceed
8 pages in length.
Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and will appear in the
EG-published conference proceedings. A small number of excellent papers will
be invited to submit an extended version of their paper for the VCBM 2010
Special Issue of Elsevier's Journal Computers and Graphics. Supplementary
material (e.g. videos) can also be provided, and will be considered when the
paper is reviewed; see the submission site for full details.
Posters
We invite you to contribute to the first VCBM Poster session. Poster
abstract submissions are due April 19, 2010. For accepted posters there will
be a session where all presenters will concurrently discuss their work with
VCBM attendees and a poster compendium that will contain the abstracts. The
poster session is a venue for several kinds of work. We welcome preliminary
findings that are not mature enough for a full paper, interesting work with
a contribution smaller than a typical research paper (student projects often
fall into this category), or late-breaking research where you would benefit
from feedback from the community before writing it up as a full paper. The
suggested topics are the same as for the papers. More information can be
found at the workshop website.
Conference Location
-------------------
VCBM 2010 will be held in Leipzig, Germany. Leipzig hosts the 2nd oldest
university in Germany, which is currently celebrating its 600 anniversary.
Next to cultural landmarks (former home of Johann-Sebastian Bach and Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy, the Gewandhaus Orchestra, the New Leipzig School of
painting, etc.), it provides a rich research environment for medicine,
biology, bioinformatics, and visual computing. It is conveniently located in
the heart of Europe and it is a major hub of the German Railway (with direct
train connections from Frankfurt Airport). Nearby airports include the
Airport Leipzig/Halle and the airports of Berlin.
