by Stefanie Behnke

IEEE/EG International Symposium on Volume Graphics September 3-4, 2007 The Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic http://vg.swan.ac.uk/vg07/ Volume graphics deals with the analysis, synthesis and presentation of volumetric objects, both static and time-varying. Specifically, it includes topics related to the acquisition, reconstruction and transformation of volume data as well as feature analysis, information extraction and rendering. Research papers are solicited that present original and unpublished results concerning all aspects of volume graphics. We especially invite research contributions that report computational techniques derived from existing knowledge in numerical analysis, signal processing and statistical modeling. Furthermore, papers are solicited which demonstrate the efficacy of the methods of volume graphics towards enhanced practices or understanding of specific applications in engineering, medicine and physical and biological sciences. This 6th occurrence of Volume Graphics has been changed from a Workshop to a Symposium and is again co-located with the Symposium on Point-Based Graphics 2007 as well as with the Eurographics 2007 Conference. The accepted papers will be published in IEEE/EG sponsored proceedings, and archived in electronic form in the Eurographics and IEEE online digital libraries. A selected number of submissions will be further considered for publication in a major journal in computer graphics and visualization.

SBIM'07 Extended Submission Date

by Joaquim Jorge

Extended Submission Date: Abstract submission deadline: May 8, 2007 Deadline for paper submissions: May 15, 2007 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 the American Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). 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. Each paper should contain title, authors' names and affiliations, abstract, keywords, text, illustrations, and references. Detailed guidelines and LaTeX style files are available through the EG Conference Manager (MCP) (http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_SBIM07).

The gallery will provide a unique opportunity for up and coming artists, animators and scientists to display their work using visually pleasing and stimulating techniques. The Gallery will be a platform for artists in computer graphics to present their work to peers in the field, exchange ideas and network with potential employers. Categories of the Gallery are as follows: · Image Stills: Artwork is to be submitted as an image still, and may be of any topic provided the work is produced using techniques in the field of computer graphics and animation. Prints of the work are to be displayed in the Gallery, for the entire duration of the conference. · Animations: Animation clips may be submitted in this category, and a special viewing session will be held for the entries. Clips may contain storylines, or demonstrate techniques in computer graphics. All contributions (artwork and animations) must be accompanied by a one page description of the work, as well as an indication of the techniques used to achieve the final piece. Artwork and animations will be reviewed by the conference organisers and voluntary reviewers from academia and industry. Pieces will be judged using the following criteria: · Ingenuity of the techniques employed (specifically related to computer graphics); · Aesthetics; · Creativity; · Overall impression. All submitted works will be displayed in the Gallery, and awards will be made for the top entries in each category. In addition, the one page abstract of the winners will be published in the conference proceedings.
