Special Issue of the Elsevier Journal "Computers & Graphics" on:
Natural Phenomena Simulation
Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2005
Journal URL: http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/cag
Since the beginning of computer graphics, researchers have been attracted to
visually reproduce Nature's beauty
and complexity present in a myriad of phenomena, from a small water droplet
to a space nebula. During this time,
different approaches have been taken to simulate such phenomena. Researchers
working on entertainment applications,
for example, usually emphasize the believable visual representation of
natural phenomena, while researchers
working on scientific applications usually focus their efforts on the
accuracy of the models representing the underlying
natural processes. Ideally, we would like to be able to create realistic
displays of natural phenomena using
accurate models in a reasonable time. Such a goal highlights one the most
important research challenges facing the
computer graphics community today, namely the predictive simulation of
natural phenomena, involving both the
light interaction with matter and the dynamics of natural systems.
Predictive simulations make the image synthesis process more intuitive and
have a broader scope of applications,
including not only believable picture making, but also scientific and
medical visualization. The key issue in this context,
however, consists in establishing the predictability of the models. It is
not a trivial task since computer models
are intrinsically less predictable than physical phenomena. Currently, two
guidelines are used in the development
of predictive simulations of natural phenomena. First, the models are
designed to be controlled by biophysically
meaningful parameters. Second, their evaluation involves comparisons of
modeled results with actual measured
data or the real phenomenon.
In this special issue, we welcome contributions describing original research
work on natural phenomena simulation,
preferably taking into account the predictability guidelines outlined above.
Furthermore, due to the multidisciplinary
nature of this theme, special attention will be given to papers that are
supported by reliable scientific data
from fields including, but not limited to, oceanography, remote sensing
physics, chemistry, biology and medicine,
and which can also provide evidence of practical contributions to these
fields. Authors are encouraged to select one
or more of the following topics:
Gaseous Phenomena
Atmospheric Phenomena
Astrophysical Phenomena
Spectral Rendering of Fluids
Visualization of Fluid Flow
Transformation of Materials (e.g., seasonal changes, tanning, melting
etc...)
Biophysically-Based Rendering of Organic Materials
Biophysically-Based Animation of Biological Systems
Important dates:
E-mail expression of interest: as soon as possible

In Cooperation with ACM/SIGGRAPH
The drive for ever-denser 3D geometric models has brought about an
increased interest in methods that rely on point primitives. The highly
successful 2004 Symposium on Point-Based Graphics demonstrated the
applicability of point-based methods in modeling, rendering, data
acquisition, simulation, geometry, and graphics hardware, and in domains
ranging from acoustics to artistic rendering. The next PBG Symposium
will be held June 21-22, 2005, and we invite your original contributions
in areas including, but not limited to, the following:
- Data acquisition and surface reconstruction
- Geometric modeling using point primitives
- Sampling, filtering, approximation, and interpolation
- Transmission and compression of point-sampled geometry
- Rendering algorithms for point primitives
- Animation and morphing of point-sampled geometry
- Topological properties of point clouds
- Hybrid representations and algorithms
- Hardware architectures using point primitives
- Use of point-based methods in real-world applications
