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)
Paper Submission
---------------
Submissions are invited as either a full paper of 6 to 10 pages (A4 paper)
for oral presentation or as a short paper of 2 to 4 pages (A4 paper). The
papers must be written in English, although presentations can be delivered
in Portuguese, Spanish or English. The program committee, composed of
internationally renowned experts, will review the submissions.
Please see the conference web site for submission details.

The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), the Spanish Association for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (AERFAI) and the Mathematics and Computer Science Department of UIB are organising the fourth international conference AMDO Evolution 2006 that will take place in Puerto de Andratx, Mallorca. This conference is the natural evolution of the AMDO2004 workshop. The new goal of this conference is to promote interaction and collaboration among researchers working directly in the areas covered by the main tracks. The new perceptual user interfaces and the emerging technologies increase the relation between areas involved with human-computer interaction. The new perspective of the AMDO-e 2006 conference will be to strengthen the relationship between the many areas that have as key point the study of the human body using computer technologies as the main tool.
It is a great opportunity to encourage links between research in the areas of computer vision, computer graphics, advanced multimedia applications and multimodal interfaces that share common problems and frequently use similar techniques or tools. In this particular edition the related topics are divided in several parallel tracks, including the topics above proposed.
The AMDO-e 2006 will consist in three days of lecture sessions, both regular and invited presentations, a poster session and international tutorials.
TOPICS INCLUDE (but not restricted to):
Track 1: Computer Graphics (Human Modelling & Animation)
Track 2: Human Motion (Analysis, Tracking, 3D Reconstruction & Recognition)
Track 3: Multimodal User Interaction (VR & AR, Speech, Biometrics)
Track 4: Advanced Multimedia Systems (Standards, Indexed Video Contents)
PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
Papers should describe original and unpublished work about the above or closely related topics. Please submit your paper electronically at out website using the software provided. All submissions should be in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format and LNCS Springer Style. The AMDO-e 2006 secretariat must receive your paper before the February 15, 2006.
Please use this address to upload your papers: http://servidorgyv.uib.es/starts/AMDO06/
Up to 10 A4 pages will be considered. All papers submitted will be subjected to a blind review process by at least three members of the program committee. The initial paper must not provide names and affiliation, and should include a title, a 150-word abstract, keywords and paper manuscript. Accepted papers will appear in the international proceedings (LNCS Springer-Verlag) that will be published and distributed to all participants at the conference.

c.. Physical standards for assessing deformable objects (e.g. performance metrics & validation of medical simulators)
d.. Natural phenomena modeling (hair, fluids, ...)
e.. Geometric algorithms for physical simulation
f.. Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces
g.. Physically based dynamics (video games, medical simulators)
The workshop seeks to be an international forum for researchers and students to provide a propitious environment for sharing results and exchanging new concepts on these fields.
Information submission
Camera ready submission:
Papers are allowed 6 to 10 pages and formatted according to the EG publication guidelines for workshop submission. For double-blind reviewing, the anonymous submission version should be used. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and appear in the proceedings.

Call for Papers
Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena
Vienna, Austria, September 5, 2006
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-concious 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
- Modeling fire and smoke
- Aging and weathering
- Terrain modeling
Submission Procedure (all submissions are electronic)
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 are available through the
Workshop Site under instructions for authors. Submissions will be done
electronically. We will accept papers in PDF format only. Please contact the
conference organizers should you experience any problems with electronic
submission. Post-workshop proceedings will be available on-line through the
Eurographics Digital Library and in paper book form in the Eurographics Book
Series. Selection will be based upon technical and scientific content and
relevance to the workshop.
Workshop Format
The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics'06 Conference
(September 5, Vienna, Austria) 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. The 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
May 18, 2006 Submission deadline
June 18, 2006 Notification of acceptance
July 8, 2006 Deadline for camera-ready copies
September 5, 2006 Workshop (one full day)
