Symposium on Geometry Processing: Registration is open

by Stefanie Behnke

SGP'06 registration is OPEN, conference will start in 2 weeks: BOOK & REGISTER NOW!! Fourth Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, June 26-28 2006 http://www.geometryprocessing.org We welcome you at the sunny beaches of Sardinia to SGP06: 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. The conference addresses diverse topics from 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 Further Information, including the full program are available at 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 PROCEEDINGS: The full-color proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH. 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: * 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Roberto Scopigno Visual Computing Laboratory Istituto Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione (ISTI) - National Research Council (CNR) Area della Ricerca CNR di Pisa Via G.
