2006 International Conference on CYBERWORLDS: CFP

by Stefanie Behnke

CALL FOR PAPERS 2006 International Conference on CYBERWORLDS November 28-30, 2006, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland Organized by EPFL VRlab In cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGWEB, EUROGRAPHICS, CUSO, and INTUITION EU Network of Excellence Cyberworlds are information worlds being formed on Internet either intentionally or spontaneously, with or without design. As information worlds, they are either virtual or real, and can be both. In terms of information modelling, the theoretical ground for the Cyberworlds is far above the level of integrating spatial database models and temporal database models. This conference will deal with large distributed information worlds on Internet as well as methods and tools used for creating such worlds. CONFERENCE TOPICS The conference topics include but are not limited to the following areas. - Philosophy, Evolution, and Ethics of Cyberworlds - Cyberworlds and their impact on the real worlds - Cyberethics and Cyberlaws - Cybersecurity - Visual Cyberworlds - Human animation in Cyberworlds - Virtual Reality in Cyberworlds - Computer vision and augmented reality for Cyberworlds - Intelligent agents in Cyberworlds - Communication in Cyberworlds - Distributed virtual environments - Shared virtual worlds - Data mining and warehousing in Cyberworlds - Bioinformatics for Cyberlife and medicine - Healthcare in Cyberworlds - Cyberworlds for bioengineering - Cyberinformation systems - E-business in Cyberworlds - Cyberworlds for education - Collaborative work using Cyberworlds - Cyberworlds for manufacturing - Cyber fairs and Cyber museums - Multi-user web games CW2006 will provide an opportunity for scientists, engineers, and researchers from around the world to share the latest research, ideas, and developments in these fields. The conference will consist of formal paper sessions and hands-on demonstrations where research groups and vendors will show the state-of-the-art in the field. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Due: 10th May 2006 Notice of Acceptance: 1st July 2006 Camera Ready Due: 28th July 2006 Conference: 28-30 Nov 2006 Full and Short Papers (in English) containing original and unpublished results are solicited.

SIACG 2006 -3rd Ibero-American Symposium on Computer Graphics EPCG: 14º Encontro Português de Computação Gráfica CEIG: XVI Congreso Español de Informática Gráfica Santiago de Compostela, Spain, July 5-7, 2006 http://www.labsis.usc.es/siacg2006 C A L L F O R P A P E R S This symposium is the third of a series of similar events organised every other year and alternating between Europe and South America. 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 ------------- 21 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) 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.

AMDO-e 2006: last CFP

by Stefanie Behnke

IV Conference on Articulated Motion and Deformable Objects (AMDO-e 2006) Andratx, Mallorca, Spain 11-14 July, 2006 http://dmi.uib.es/amdo2006 amdo(a)uib.es 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.
