Venue
-----
Santiago de Compostela is mainly a monumental town, a stony miracle which
has been shaped around the Apostle St James's sepulchre along the
centuries, and which has resulted in one of the most splendid and harmonic
architectural ensembles in the world. Considered to be one of the three
spiritual capitals of Christendom together with Rome and Jerusalem, from
the Middle Ages it became the goal of religious pilgrimages, a phenomenon
that would give birth to the pilgrims' Road to Santiago, the real spine of
the art and the thought from which, as Goethe said, the idea of Europe
would be born.
The conference venue will be the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, at
the Escola Técnica Superior de Enxeñería (Rúa Lope Gómez de Marzoa,
15782-Santiago de Compostela)
Short Paper Submission
-----------------------
Submissions are invited as short paper of 2 to 4 pages (A4 paper), and will

Fourth Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing
in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, June 26-28 2006
http://www.geometryprocessing.org
Program Co-Chairs:
* Alla Sheffer, University of British Columbia
* Konrad Polthier, Freie Universität Berlin
Organizing Co-Chairs:
* Riccardo Scateni, Università di Cagliari
* Roberto Scopigno, ISTI-CNR Pisa
CALL FOR PAPERS:
The Symposium on Geometry Processing is the premier venue for
disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in
computerized processing of geometric models. In this emerging
area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science,
and engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for
acquisition, reconstruction, manipulation, simulation and
transmission of complex 3D models. Applications of geometry
processing algorithms cover a wide range of areas from multimedia,
entertainment, and classical computer-aided design, to bio-medical
computing, reverse engineering, and scientific computing.
We are now inviting submissions related to, but not limited to,
the following topics in geometry processing:
- geometry and topology representations
- compression of static or animated geometry
- surface and volume parameterization
- approximation and meshing
- reverse engineering
- simplification and level of detail
- smoothing and denoising
- computational geometry
- multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis
- geometric aspects of rendering and other fields
- interactive techniques
- animation and simulation
PROCEEDINGS:
The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.
NEW: proceedings will be full-color throughout.
INVITED SPEAKERS:
In addition to the technical paper presentations the conference
will have two distinguished invited speakers:
* Markus Gross, ETH Zurich
* Ron Kimmel, Technion.
INDUSTRY PANEL:
NEW: the industry panel will be a new conference feature where
representatives of major companies actively involved in geometry
processing and its application will present and discuss the most
challenging research problems in the work of their companies.
This year's panelists are:
* Richard Huddy (ATI)
* Arnaud Ribadeau-Dumas (Dassault Systèmes)
* Rasmus Tamstorf (Disney)
* Olivier Paugam (Mental Images)
POSTER SESSION:
A posters session will provide an additional informative look into
ongoing research. Papers with obvious potential but which missed
the threshold may be invited to be presented as posters during the
symposium. Two page abstracts of the posters will be published in
a separate volume distributed to the symposium participants.
IMPORTANT DATES:
* Electronic abstract submission deadline: April 19, 2006
* Electronic paper submission deadline: April 26, 2006
* Author notification: May 17, 2006
* Camera ready copy deadline: May 24, 2006
* Symposium: June 26-28, 2006
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Details of the all-electronic submission procedure are available
on the official SGP website: http://www.geometryprocessing.org
Authors are requested to submit an abstract of their paper (in
plain text format) by April 19, 2006. The abstract submission
should contain the names and institutions of all the authors,
contact information of one contact author (name, e-mail, postal
address, phone and fax numbers), and the working title and
abstract of the submission.
Submitted manuscripts should be prepared for double-blind review,
and should be original work, not concurrently submitted to any
other venue. The length of a submitted paper should typically not
exceed 10 pages, formatted in the proper publication style (LaTeX
files available online). A submission can also be accompanied by
electronic supplementary material (e.g. video).
Submitted papers will be carefully reviewed by members of the
Program Committee (see list online) and selected external reviewers.

Sept 2-4: Symposium
Papers must be written and presented in English. Paper length should not
exceed 10 A4 pages, should be anonymous and formatted according to the EG
publication style. Authors must include a declaration stating that the
main contribution claimed in their paper has not previously appeared in,
and is not currently submitted to, any other conference or journal.
To be considered for review, all papers must be submitted electronically
through the SCA submission web site. Supplementary
material such as videos may also be submitted electronically and will be
made available to reviewers.
All papers will be reviewed carefully by the International Program
Committee members. Given the limited time between submission and final
version, papers will be evaluated as submitted.
Authors of accepted papers will be responsible for preparing a final
camera-ready electronic version of their paper. In addition to the printed
proceedings, a DVD-ROM will be published with supplemental materials. If
an author submits supplemental materials for review with their paper, that
material (or a revised version) must also be provided by the authors for
inclusion on the DVD-ROM.
Authors of some rejected papers with high potential will be invited to
submit their work to the combined demos and poster sessions. Submissions
directly targeting the Poster & Demo session are also accepted (see
calendar).
Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!
