CFP: Second Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena

by Stefanie Behnke

Second Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena Vienna, Austria, September 5, 2006 http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/events/EGWNP06/ Program Co-Chairs: Norishige Chiba Eric Galin Call for papers 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 8 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)

CFP: Smart Graphics 06

by Andreas Butz

Dear EG community, the deadline for Smart Graphics 2006 is this coming friday. This year's symposium will be held back to back with CogSci 2006 and WCCI 2006 in order to spare your travel budgets, so please consider us in your publication plans and in your travel schedule ;-) SG06: 6th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS http://www.smartgraphics.org/sg06 July 23-25 2006 Vancouver Canada Graphics become Smart Graphics when their design and implementation are grounded in an understanding of human abilities, activities, and motivations from design experience and the broad spectrum of cognitive and social sciences. When knowledge from these diverse fields is combined with new methods, tools and techniques in AI, HCI and computer graphics, environments are created that (1) engage the user and are esthetically satisfying; (2) participate in human cognition as external or distributed representations; (3) are sensitive to the real-time demands of the interaction in the context of the available informational and computational resources; and (4) adapt the form of the output according to a wider set of constraints such as an individual's perceptual, attentive, and motor abilities and the nature of the presentation media and available interaction devices. The International Symposium on Smart Graphics brings together people from the fields of Cognitive Science, Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence and Graphics Design to build this new and emerging area of study. A growing interest in visual analytics and interaction science on the part of applications developers and granting agencies has led us to co-locate this years conference with the 28th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society and the IEEE World Congress in Computational Intelligence. SG06 welcomes submissions from computer graphics, HCI & AI researchers and practitioners, cognitive scientists, artists and graphic designers interested in a theoretically motivated interdisciplinary approach to the design of interactive visual, auditory, and haptic displays. It is planned to publish the proceedings in the Springer LNCS series, as in the previous years.

Its mission is to foster co-operation through joint projects and the exchange of scholars, ideas and information between the Computer Graphics communities in Spain, Portugal and Latin America. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series. This symposium replaces this year's annual events of the Spanish and Portuguese Chapters of Eurographics. Important Dates ------------- 29 March 2006: Submission deadline 06 May 2006: Notification of acceptance 13 May 2006: Short presentations and poster proposals due 21 May 2006: Camera ready papers and pre-registration deadline 05-07 July 2006: Conference Topics ----- We invite researchers, students, academicians and practicians to contribute papers from all areas related to computer graphics, multimedia and hardware. In particular we are looking to novel applications, algorithms and the human aspects of interaction with graphics. Authors are invited to submit contributions addressing one or more of the following (non-exhaustive) list of major areas/topics: Computer Graphics Systems and Hardware Visualisation Computer Animation Rendering Techniques and Global Illumination Real-Time Rendering Virtual Reality and Computer Human Interface Computational Geometry and its Applications Geometric Computing and Solid Modelling Scientific Visualisation Volume Graphics Augmented and Mixed Reality Game Design and Game Engine Development Virtual Humans and Artificial Life 3D Reconstruction GPU Programming Graphical User Interfaces Interaction Architectures and Models Multimodal User Interfaces Graphics and Multimedia Computer Graphics for Mobile Applications Computer Graphics applications (Arts, Education, Engineering, Entertainment, Medicine and Science) Invited speakers ---------------- Marie-Paule Cani GRAVIR lab, IMAG-INRIA http://www-evasion.imag.fr/Membres/Marie-Paule.Cani/ Anselmo Lastra Department of Computer Science University of North Carolina http://www.cs.unc.edu/~lastra/ Mel Slater Department of Computer Science University College London http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/M.Slater/ 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).
