SAC GCR'09

by Stefanie Behnke

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS Geometric Constraints and Reasoning a technical track of The International ACM Symposium on Applied Computing SAC2009 March 8-12, 2009 Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Geometric Constraints and Reasoning (GCR) is a technical track of the International Symposium on Applied Computing (see http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009). For the past twenty years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact, and present their work. SAC is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web through ACM's Digital Library. More information about SIGAPP and past SACs can be found at URL: http://www.acm.org/sigapp. As a special track of SAC, the GCR is devoted to geometric reasoning taken in a broad sense. Initially, this track focused on geometric constraint solving but it appears that geometric computing and reasoning is closely related to this topic. Our aim is then to widen the audience and to make GCR a place where the communities of geometric constraint solving, computer aided deduction in geometry and related disciplines can meet and have fruitful exchanges. See http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~robert/gcr2009/gcr2009.html. SAC 2009 is also an opportunity to attend tracks related to GCR, about combinatorial optimization, constraint programming (non geometrical constraints), graph algorithms, numerical methods or interval analysis, etc. TOPICS Specific topics of interest for the GCR track include, but are not limited to, the following: * Resolution of geometric constraints, with computer algebra, numerical analysis, interval analysis, logical approaches (e.g. provers), or other methods. * Proving geometric theorems with logical approaches, deductive databases, Computer Algebra, etc. * Decomposition of systems of geometric constraints. * Mixing geometric and non geometric constraints (combinatorial or logical), white boxes, black boxes, geometric constraints and constraints programming. * Detection of dependences between constraints, debugging geometric constraints. * Constrained curves, surfaces, blends. * Exotic (eg non cartesian) formulations of constraints. * Comparison of resolution methods or constraints formulations for the same problems. * Mathematical background: combinatorial rigidity, graph theory, matroid theory, computer algebra (polynomial systems, dimension of ideals). * Applications in Computer Graphics, CAD-CAM, robotics, mechanism design, chemistry (eg molecule configurations), photogrammetry, virtual reality. * Sensitivity to parameters vales and other robustness issues, * Geometry of computations: using topological ad geometrical ideas in provers. * Dynamic geometry, pedagogical purposes, generating explanations, examples, counter examples. * Computer-human interfaces for geometric constraints. * Geometric constraints and data exchange. * Topological constraints, eg optimal curves or surfaces with prescribed, topology (homology, homotopy, isotopy). * Shape optimization. * Integration of geometric solvers into modelers, solvers architecture. * Geometric constraints and Human Computer interfaces. * Persistent naming problem and geometric modeling by constraints. Authors are invited to contribute original papers in the listed or other realted topics in the following categories of submissions: 1) Original and unpublished research work. 2) Reports of innovative applications to the arts, sciences, engineering, and business areas. 3) Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains. 4) Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems. All submissions will be peer reviewed. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance relevance and clarity of presentation. JOURNAL PUBLICATION Authors of selected papers of outstanding quality that have been presented at GCR'09 will be invited to submit a full length version to a special issue of Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications. IMPORTANT DATES * August 16, 2008: Paper submissions * October 11, 2008: Author notification of acceptance/rejection * October 25, 2008: Camera-ready copy of accepted papers SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS * Submissions will be in electronic format, via the website http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2009/ * Submissions must follow the template that can be downloaded from http:www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/downloads09.htm * To facilitate blind review, papers should include in the first page just the title. Author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the paper body and self-references should be in the third person. * Camera ready manuscripts can have up to 5 pages. Up to three extra pages are allowed at a cost of 80USD per extra page. * Papers submitted to more than one track will be rejected.

International Journal of Computer Vision: Special Issue On 3D Object Retrieval

by Stefanie Behnke

(Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) ============================================== CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Computer Vision Special Issue On: 3D Object Retrieval Guest Editors: Theoharis Theoharis, University of Athens, ( theotheo AT di.uoa.gr ) Ioannis Pratikakis, NCSR Demokritos, ( ipratika AT iit.demokritos.gr ) Michela Spagnuolo, IMATI Genova, ( michela.spagnuolo AT ge.imati.cnr.it ) Aim and Scope: 3D object representations have become an integral part of modern computer graphics applications, such as computer-aided design, game development and film production. At the same time, 3D data have become very common in domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular biology and medicine. The rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software development, in particular the availability of low cost 3D scanners, has greatly facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation and manipulation, giving the opportunity to experience applications using 3D models to a large user community. As the number of 3D models is rapidly growing, the main issue in the field has shifted from the creation of new 3D models to the retrieval of existing 3D models. Thereupon, the development of efficient search mechanisms is required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories, both of a single class (such as human faces) and across classes. The aim of this special issue is to stimulate researchers from different fields (computer vision, computer graphics, machine learning and human-computer interaction) who work on the common goal of 3D object retrieval, to present high caliber state-of-the-art work in the field and thus provide a cross-fertilization ground that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. A Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval has already been organized within Eurographics 2008 (3DOR'08 - http://www.iit.demokritos.gr/~egw3dor/ ). While authors from 3DOR'08 are invited to submit extended versions of their contribution, this does not guarantee acceptance to the special issue. All submissions to this special issue will be considered on equal grounds. Topics of interest include but are not limited to : a.. Invariant 2D / 3D feature extraction b.. Biologically inspired 3D representations c.. Mesh segmentation d.. Relevance feedback e.. Active learning f.. Ontology-driven search g.. Sketch-based search h.. Search of animated (3D+t) objects i.. Search of 3D scenes j.. Retrieval based on partial view of objects k.. Generative / Discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization l.. Indexing methodologies m.. Applications in Multimedia industry, CAD industry, Games industry, Biometrics, e-Science, e-Learning, Medicine, Culture. n.. Benchmarking issues Submission Procedure: Papers following the usual IJCV author guidelines should be submitted to the IJCV website http://visi.edmgr.com , choosing the Special Issue article type 3D Object Retrieval. Regular journal articles (up to 25 pages) are preferred, but short papers (up to 10 pages) and well-balanced surveys (up to 30 pages) will also be considered. All submissions will be subject to peer review. Submissions will be returned without review if we feel that they do not fall within the scope of the special issue. If you are unsure about this, send an abstract or a draft to the guest editors of the special issue at least one month before the submission deadline. Submission deadline: September 30, 2008. Preliminary decision for acceptance/rejection : January 2009
