by Stefanie Behnke

Call for Papers GRAPHICS HARDWARE 2007 Co-Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics 4-5 August 2007, San Diego, California Paper deadline: Monday, 9 April 2007 Please see the CFP below for full details. http://www.graphicshardware.org/ http://www.graphicshardware.org/cfp.html ==== Introduction Graphics Hardware is a highly visible, established international forum for exchanging experience and knowledge related to computer graphics hardware. The event, held annually since 1986, offers a unique perspective on graphics hardware by combining discussions and constructive critique of innovative concepts as well as product-level designs. It is an inclusive forum for the entire graphics hardware community and brings together researchers, engineers, and architects. The program features two days of paper and industry presentations, with ample time for discussion during breaks, lunches, and the workshop banquet. This year's event will be held in San Diego, California, jointly with Siggraph. Our website is located at http://www.graphicshardware.org/. Schedule Monday, April 9 Deadline for paper submissions (11:59 pm Pacific Daylight Time) Thursday, May 10 Notification of acceptance Friday, May 18 Camera-ready papers due Saturday-Sunday, August 4-5 Conference Papers Track We invite high-quality, original papers on all aspects of computer graphics hardware describing either proven and tested solutions or novel ideas and concepts. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * Graphics accelerator architectures * Performance measurement, modelling, and optimization * Exploitation of new memory technologies for 3D graphics * Graphics for mobile devices * Integrated graphics chipsets * Hardware support for image-based rendering * Volume rendering architectures * Hardware support of new surface representations * Multi-processor architectures for graphics * Load balancing in graphics systems * Space, screen, and model partitioning * Software-hardware interfaces * Hardware accelerated rendering * Programmable graphics processors * Shading language implementation * Vertex, geometry, and pixel programming techniques * GPU-related compression/decompression techniques * Programming techniques for data-parallel problems * Hardware support for video processing * Novel display technologies * General Purpose GPU papers which meet all of: - Graphics hardware is essential to the method - New and non-obvious algorithmic changes are required to run on graphics hardware - The algorithm is likely to influence GPU designs or have lasting value as GPUs change Paper length: There is no fixed maximum length for a paper. However, the magnitude of the contribution must be proportional to the length of the paper, and papers longer than eight typeset pages in the final Eurographics format must make a very significant contribution to get accepted. Papers of four or fewer pages will be held to a less strict standard of citation and description of related work (comparison to the strongest alternative techniques is still important, but an exhaustive review is not necessary). All accepted papers are treated equally, i.e., printed in the proceedings and presented at the conference. Submission info: Authors are invited to upload papers electronically in Adobe PDF format by visiting http://www.graphicshardware.org/submissions.html. Submissions should follow the formatting guidelines on http://www.eg.org/publications/guidelines/. We encourage anonymous submissions (in which the paper contains no information identifying the authors) whenever possible.

EG SBIM'07: Call for Papers

by Joaquim Jorge

Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM'07) http://www.eg.org/sbm University of California Riverside, CA, USA Thursday August 2 - Friday August 3, 2007 Aims and Scope Most computer user interfaces continue to be based on the keyboard and mouse. These are good for typing and pointing, but they lack the naturalness, transparency, and ease-of-use of basic low-tech pencil and paper. Modern pen computing hardware--in principle--enables fluid drawing, sketching, and direct manipulation of both text and graphics. To realize this potential requires effective user interface designs and underlying algorithms to support them. This workshop will explore techniques and technologies needed to enable sketch-based interfaces. The foci will be on methods for recognition of hand-drawn shapes and interpretation of diagrams and sketches, and on applications of sketch-based interfaces to a variety of domains such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, and note-taking. Empirical usability studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing pen input to other interaction techniques are also welcome. The workshop is being held in cooperation with Eurographics and ACM/SIGGRAPH, hence results and insights will be shared by researchers from around the globe. The workshop dates of August 2-3 are just prior to SIGGRAPH. The workshop location is Riverside, California, 1.5 hours by car from the SIGGRAPH venue in San Diego. The two-day workshop will include paper presentations (single track), a breakout session, coffee breaks, a conference dinner, and invited talks. There will be a demo session in which participants have an opportunity to demonstrate their systems and try out those of the other participants. All are welcome to attend the workshop; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. The proceedings will be published in the EG Workshop series and made available online through the Eurographics Digital Library. Summaries of previous Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling Workshops can be explored at http://www.eg.org/sbm. Authors are invited to submit technical papers on topics including, but not limited to: * Low level ink processing * Sketch segmentation * Classification and recognition of hand-drawn sketches * Multimodal interfaces for sketching * Novel sketch input devices * Rendering techniques for sketch-based interfaces (NPR) * Usability studies of sketch-based systems * Sketch-based interfaces for 2D/3D computer graphics (modeling, animation, games, etc.) * Sketch-based CAD systems * Sketch-based interfaces for other applications (diagram editing, math, etc.) * Sketch-based retrieval of multimedia Information Authors of workshop papers are encouraged to provide demos. We also invite: * demos of rough ideas and work in progress. * demos that present and critique commercial pen computing software * demos of games and other novel applications making creative use of sketch interfaces Submission Procedure Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, with the main body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format. All submissions are electronic. You can download a set of LaTeX style files from the EG Conference Manager (MCP) (http://www.eg.org/sbm). Each paper should contain title, authors' names and affiliations, abstract, keywords, text, illustrations, and references. Detailed guidelines will be available through the Workshop Site (http://www.eg.org/sbm) under instructions for authors. Submissions will be done electronically via the EG Conference Manager (MCP). Papers will be accepted in PDF format only. Please contact the conference organizers should you experience any problems with electronic submission. Proceedings will be available on-line through the Eurographics Digital Library and in paper book form in the Eurographics Book Series. Paper selection will be based on technical and scientific content and relevance to the workshop. Those interested in providing a demo should submit a one-page abstract of the proposed demo. If possible, the abstract should include a URL for a video, screen images, etc. Special Issue: Computers & Graphics Revised and expanded versions of selected workshop papers will be featured in a special issue of the Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier) in 2008. Important Workshop Dates * Deadline for paper submissions: May 1, 2007 * Notification of acceptance: June 8, 2007 Organization Workshop Chairs Thomas Stahovich, University of California, Riverside, CA (stahov(a)engr.ucr.edu) Christine Alvarado, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA (alvarado(a)cs.hmc.edu) Program Chairs Michiel van de Panne, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC (van(a)cs.ubc.ca) Eric Saund, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Palo Alto, CA (saund(a)parc.com) EG SBIM Working Group Chair Joaquim Jorge, Technical University of Lisboa, Portugal (jaj(a)rtr.inesc-id.pt)

Please forward this info to interested colleagues, and please excuse multiple postings. Thank you! ************************************************************** 3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007 CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop website: http://www.cgg.cvut.cz/egwnp07 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Submission DEADLINE: May 18, 2007 Venue: September 4, 2007, Prague, Czech Republic ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************** AIMS AND SCOPE Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations. Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling, animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non-conscious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Plant structure modeling * Ecosystem simulation * Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog, ...) * Simulating liquid flows and rain * Modeling fire and smoke * Aging and weathering * Terrain modeling WORKSHOP FORMAT The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics 2007 Conference (September 4, Prague, Czech Republic) to encourage a broad range of participants. As such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend or present communications at both events. T he workshop will be held in one day, including paper presentation and invited sessions. Participation is open to everyone, not requiring submission of a paper. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: May 18th, 2007 Notification of acceptance: June 18th, 2007 Camera-ready papers deadline: July 8th, 2007 Workshop (one full day): September 4, 2007 ORGANISING COMMITTEE Workshop Chairs * Eric Galin (FR) * Jaroslav Sloup (CZ) Program Chairs * David Ebert (US) * Stéphane Mérillou (FR) ************************************************************** For more information, please contact eric.galin(a)liris.cnrs.fr. **************************************************************
