Workshop Info
===============
The VRIPhyS workshop has been held annually since 2004 as a forum for
discussing current research and new technology in the domain of dynamic
simulation and physical interaction in virtual environments. We particularly
encourage submission of works in the medical domain due to its strong ties
to the workshop topics, which include but are not limited to:
* Deformable objects
* Physical standards for assessing deformable objects
* Natural phenomena modeling
* Collision detection techniques
* Geometric algorithms for physical simulation
* Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces
* Physically based dynamics

**** Eurographics 2008 Annual Conference ****
** Call for Participation - Full Papers **
Eurographics '2008, the 29th annual conference of the European Association
for Computer Graphics will be hosted by FORTH, Crete, Greece on April
14th-18th, 2008.
The Eurographics Annual Conference is a leading international event
devoted to computer graphics and all related visual and interactive
domains.
We announce a major change in 2008: this edition will be the first one
to be held in the spring. The paper submission deadline will thus be in
late September 2007.
Important dates:
Deadline for Abstracts: September 21st, 2007
Full Paper deadline: ** September 26th, 2007 **
Notification of decisions: November 19th, 2007
Authors are invited to submit original papers reporting research
contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications. Papers
are sought in all areas of Computer Graphics: rendering, modeling,
animation, interactive techniques, virtual reality, visualization,
and other relevant topic areas. Moreover, the 2008 edition will have
a special focus on the cross-fertilization between CG, computer vision
and human-computer interaction.
Conference proceedings will be published in the Computer Graphics Forum
journal, volume 27(2).

Eurographics 2008 Annual Conference
http://www.ics.forth.gr/eg2008/
Crete, Greece
April 14-18, 2008
Call for Tutorials
Eurographics 2008, the 29th annual conference of the European Association
for Computer Graphics, invites international experts to present half day or
full day tutorials providing in-depth knowledge and sharing their experience
on a variety of topics in computer graphics and related areas.
Proposed tutorials may address topics of interest to the Computer Graphics
community at large, such as (but not limited to) Imaging and Rendering
techniques, 3D user interfaces, interaction methods and methodologies,
modelling and simulation, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Augmented Reality,
high performance graphics, computer graphics over high speed networks and
others. Proposals are welcome on topics that have been previously addressed;
however, new approaches or insights will be especially valued.
Tutorial topics will be presented in a taught format, ranging from
practical guidelines to academic issues and theory, and may be addressed to
an audience at an introductory or advanced level.
Each group of speakers will receive:
a.. An honorarium of ?400 for a full day tutorial or ?200 for a half day
tutorial, per group. If a tutorial is presented by more than one lecturer,
this payment will be divided pro-rata between them.
b.. One free registration for the conference and one complimentary
ticket for conference events, per group. If more than one person gives the
tutorial, only one free registration and one free ticket for conference
events are provided.
All tutorial lecturers are allowed to attend other tutorials at no extra
charge, subject to space being available.
Submission Details
Tutorial proposals, typically 4 pages, should be submitted in electronic
form by October 5th, 2007, in PDF format. Submitted tutorial proposals

-----------------------
Volume Graphics 2007 will be held in conjunction with the Point-Based
Graphics Symposium 2007 in Prague in Sept., both under the auspices of
EUROGRAPHICS 2007 Conference.
IEEE/EG Symposium on Point-Based Graphics
The IEEE/Eurographics Symposium on Point-Based Graphics (PBG) is a forum
for presenting new results related to the use of point-based primitives in
modeling, rendering, data acquisition, simulation, geometry, and graphics
hardware.
IEEE/EG International Symposium on Volume Graphics
Volume Graphics (VG07) follows five successful workshops in former years.
It aims to bring together researchers from both the academic and industry
who are working, or wish to work, on volume graphics. Volume Graphics is
concerned with modeling, processing, and rendering of data which is
typically acquired through tomography, 3D microscopy, computational
simulations, statistical measurements or analytical methods. It is capable
of representing solid and soft objects, interiors as well as surfaces, and
synthesizing graphical images in a true 3D manner. The symposium will
continue to explore the potential of volume-based techniques beyond the
scope of volume visualization as it is currently practiced.

COMPUTER GRAPHICS FORUM -- COVER COMPETITION 2008
---------------------------------------------------
COMPUTER GRAPHICS FORUM is the journal of Eurographics, the European
Association for Computer Graphics. Each year we have the opportunity
to change the picture appearing on the cover of the journal. This is
your opportunity to show the world what you can do, a competition for
the photograph for the 2008 volume.
The first prize winner gets 200 Euro, but the biggest prize is of
course the fact that your picture will appear on all the 2008 issues,
including the conference issue!
The winner will be publicly announced at the closing session of the
Eurographics 2007 conference in Prague (Czech Republic).
IT IS SUFFICIENT TO SEND IN IMAGES VIA EMAIL ATTACHMENTS TO
Federico Ponchio <ponchio(a)dm.unipi.it <??>>
Deadline: AUGUST 20th, 2007
Electronic submissions may be in all image formats. For production on
the cover of "Forum", we will send the winning specific instructions.
To give you an idea what we are looking for and further instructions,
