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.

annual event brings together researchers and practitioners working on
all aspects of time-based phenomena. The intimate size, the single
track program, and comfortable surroundings make this symposium an
ideal opportunity to exchange research results and implementation
experiences, and to witness some of the best research in computer
animation.
This year, SCA will be held the 2 days preceeding SIGGRAPH 2007 in San
Diego, at a hotel close to the SIGGRAPH 2007 site.
Submission Deadlines
* Papers: Tuesday, 17 April 2007
* Posters: Wednesday, 30 May 2007
*Call for Participation*
The Symposium on Computer Animation invites submission of original,
unpublished, high-quality papers and posters on algorithms,
applications, and foundations of computer animation. We also encourage
submissions on related problems in computer vision, robotics, game
development, human-computer interaction, visualization, and
others.
*Papers*
Submission Deadline: Tuesday, 17 April 2007
Full-length papers are the primary medium for conveying new technical
contributions to the entire computer animation community. The
symposium will only accept previously unpublished techniques. These
accepted papers will be presented in a public presentations at SCA and
published in the conference proceedings by ACM Press.
Submission details are available at:
http://www.siggraph.org/sca2007/cfp.php?dir=papers

Submission Deadline: 17 April 2007
Acceptance Notification: 17 May 2007
Camera-Ready Deadline: 30 May 2007
*Posters*
Submission Deadline: Wednesday, 30 May 2007
A poster and demo presentation is the perfect opportunity for authors
to display and discuss late-breaking technical achievements that are
either not ready or not suitable for publication as full papers.
Poster presentations are not formal publications, so work submitted as
a poster is still eligible for later publication in a journal or
conference proceedings.
The poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA
program, with specific time alloted for poster presenters and
symposium participants to view and discuss the work. Additionally, a
pamphlet containing summaries of all the posters will be distributed
to participants, and all presenters will have the opportunity to give
a one-minute description of their work during a poster fast-forward
session.
Finally, all posters accepted for display at SCA will also be
displayed as part of the SIGGRAPH 2007 poster program, to be held
immediately following SCA.
