Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-based Interfaces and Modeling 2006
Vienna, Austria, 3-4 September 2006
http://www.eg.org/sbm
Registration: https://www.eg.org/egshop/jsf/user/buyticket.jsp
The 2006 Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-based Interfaces and
Modeling, held in conjunction with the 2006 Eurographics Conference,
brings together an international community of researchers working to
advance the state of the art in sketch-based interfaces and their
applications. The workshop is intended to provide an opportunity for
these researchers to share lessons learned, present new results, and
discuss open issues. The workshop also includes two invited
presentations. In the first of these, Eric Saund of the Palo Alto
Research Center presents one possible view of a "killer application"
for pen-based interfaces - games. In the second, Marc Alexa from the
Technical University of Berlin presents exciting new work in
sketch-based 3D surface design.

Dear Colleague:
The island of Cyprus and the organizing committee are pleased to announce a
joint conference to be held from the 30th of October to the 4th of November,

It is the first time that several organizations have decided to join
together in order to create an optimal environment for the discussion and
explanation of new technologies, exchange of modern ideas and in general to
allow the transfer of knowledge between a maximum number of professionals
and academics during one common time period.
The attached announcement includes the call for papers and registration
information.
We would like to inform you that the last extended deadline for our joint event in Cyprus www.cipa2006.org is as follows:

* Natural phenomena modeling (hair, fluids, ...)
* Geometric algorithms for physical simulation
* Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces
* 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
