Point-Based Graphics 2008 - Final Call for Papers
Los Angeles, CA, USA - August 9-10, 2008
http://www.point-graphics.org
Co-sponsored by Eurographics and the IEEE-CS Visualization and Graphics
Technical Committee (VGTC)
The drive for increasingly complex 3D geometric models, especially
those scanned from the real-world, has brought about a growing
interest in methods that build on point primitives. Following the
highly successful 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 Symposia on Point-Based
Graphics, the 5th symposium of its series, PBG08, aims to further
demonstrate the applicability of point-based methods in modeling,
rendering, and simulation, and in a wide range of application domains.
PBG08 will take place in in Los Angeles, CA, USA, from August 9-10,
2008, co-located with ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 and co-organized with the
International Symposium on Volume Graphics (VG08).
We invite your original contributions in areas including, but not
limited to, the following:
- Data acquisition and surface reconstruction
- Geometric modeling using point primitives
- Sampling, approximation, and interpolation
- Transmission and compression of point-sampled geometry
- Rendering algorithms for point primitives
- Geometry processing of point models
- Topological properties of point clouds
- Hardware architectures for point primitives
- Animation and morphing of point-sampled geometry
- Hybrid representations and algorithms
- Use of point-based methods in real-world applications
PBG was established do develop and leverage the newly created field of
point based graphics and to establish a community of its own. With the
5. symposium of this kind in 2008 and the broad spectrum of scientific
publications on the subject, we believe that our initial mission is
accomplished. At the same time we observe a natural evolution and
confluence of point graphics and volume graphics into the broader
field of "Sample Based Graphics". In order to address this development
VG'08 and PBG'08 will organize a joint track on the topic to evaluate
its suitability as new direction into which both symposia might evolve
in the years to come.

Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biomedicine (EG VCBM) 2008
October 6-7, 2008
Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
Aims and Scope:
===============
Visual Computing for Biomedicine addresses the integration of
state-of-the-art visualization and image analysis for application to
biomedical research. 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 biomedical research topics, such as molecular imaging,
quantitative longitudinal studies, pre- and intra-operative surgical
guidance, and computer-aided diagnosis.
VCBM is unique in that it will bring together researchers and
practitioners from visualization, image processing and (bio-)medicine.
We expect to attract a number of attendees with (bio-)medical
backgrounds, as well as 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 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 biomedical science. All papers should
focus on a well-defined biomedical context, and should demonstrate a
significant innovation or improvement in visual computing that
addresses ongoing problems in that context.
Topics:
=======
Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to:
* Interactive segmentation and registration
* Computer-aided diagnosis and detection
* Facilitating medical research with visual computing
* Intervention and therapy planning (e.g. pre-operative surgical
planning and radiation therapy planning)
* Intra-operative guidance for surgery
* Ultra-sound based planning and intra-operative guidance
* Visualization and Simulation for Surgical Training
* Coupled simulation and visualization
* Multi-field medical visualization and processing (multi-modality,
structural + functional)
* Processing and visualization of advanced modalities
* Molecular imaging
* Perception-based studies for medical visualization
* Anatomical reconstruction from microscopy data
* Creation and visualization of biological atlases
* Ontology-based visualization
* Visualization methods for neurobiology, plant biology and
developmental biology

TRAVEL BURSARIES: Please note that there will be around 25 student travel
bursaries of up to ?500 each (US$790) this year to help defray the cost of
travel. Preference will be given to authors of papers and posters and to
students with larger travel costs. Exact award amounts will depend on the
final number of awarded bursaries.
POSTERS AND DEMOS
A poster and demo presentation is the perfect opportunity for authors to
display and discuss late-breaking technical achievements that are either not
ready or not suitable for publication as full papers.
The poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA program,
with specific time allotted for poster presenters and symposium participants
to view and discuss the work. A pamphlet containing summaries of the posters
will be distributed to all participants, and all presenters will have the
opportunity to give a one-minute description of their work during a poster
fast-forward session.
****Eligibility
Poster presentations are not formal publications, so work submitted as a
poster is still eligible for later publication in a journal or conference
proceedings.
We encourage any of the following types of poster submissions:
* Up and coming computer animation research
* Technically novel production work
* Work done outside of SCA that would be of interest to the computer
animation community. This includes animation-related works recently accepted
to other conferences such as I3D or NPAR, or the SIGGRAPH Sketches program.
* Lab overviews which present a snapshot of the ongoing animation-related
research at a given institution.
Please note that in order to maintain the quality of discussions and
interactivity at the poster session, there must be at least one dedicated
presenter for each poster.
****Format
The submission for a poster should consist of a summary of no more than 2
pages in length. Each submission must be saved as PDF and formatted
according to the EG publication style. Latex example available at:
http://gv2.cs.tcd.ie/sca08/SCAPoster08.zip. Submissions must be
camera-ready. This means that author names must be present in the
submission. The review process will be single blind.
****Supplementary Materials
The submission of supplementary materials is not required; however, a draft
of the poster in PDF format is encouraged. For the final presentation,
videos and interactive demonstrations are also highly encouraged. We will
provide electrical outlets and tables so that authors can display such
demonstrations using their own equipment.
****Electronic Submission
All PDF poster summaries should be submitted via email to
SCA2008.Posters(a)gmail.com by the deadline. Due to GMails limits, each email
message must be less than 10MB. If this is not sufficient for your
submission or supplemental materials, you may send your submission in parts
as attachments to several emails. For supplemental materials, links to
external websites are also allowable.
****Fast Forward Slide
Authors of accepted posters will be required to provide a PowerPoint slide
describing their work for the poster fast forward presentation session.
Details about preparation of the slide will be provided later via email to
accepted presenters.

International Conference on Cyberworlds (CW 2008)
URL: http://www.china-vr.com/cw08/index.htm
Hangzhou, China
September 22-24, 2008
The conference Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society
Press. Special issues in SCI journal(s) are being planned.
Cyberworlds are information worlds being formed on Internet either
intentionally or spontaneously, with or without design. As information
worlds, they are either virtual or real, and can be both. In terms of
information modeling, the theoretical ground for the Cyberworlds is far
above the level of integrating spatial database models and temporal database
models. This conference will deal with large distributed information worlds
on Internet and methods/tools used for creating such worlds.
This year, Cyberworlds 2008 (CW2008) will be held in Hangzhou, China.
Hangzhou has long been a famous tourist attraction. The widely expressed
Chinese proverb, "in heaven there is paradise and on earth there are
Hangzhou and Suzhou" combined with the words of Marco Polo who described
this place as, "the most beautiful and magnificent city in the world" have
helped to make Hangzhou one of the biggest tourist attractions in the entire
country.
