Graphics Hardware is a highly visible, established international forum
for exchanging experience and knowledge related to computer graphics
hardware. The event, held annually since 1986, offers a unique
perspective on graphics hardware by combining discussions and
constructive critique of innovative concepts as well as product-level
designs. It is an inclusive forum for the entire graphics hardware
community and brings together researchers, engineers, and architects.
The program features two days of paper and industry presentations,
with ample time for discussion during breaks, lunches, and the
workshop banquet. This year's event will be held in Los Angeles, CA,
USA, jointly with ACM SIGGRAPH.

Third Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing
in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH
Vienna, Austria, July 4-6 2005
http://www.geometryprocessing.org
Program Co-Chairs:
Helmut Pottmann, Vienna University of Technology
Mathieu Desbrun, California Institute of Technology
Organizing Chair:
Werner Purgathofer, Vienna University of Technology
Now in its third year, the Symposium on Geometry Processing is the
premier venue for disseminating new research ideas and
cutting-edge results in Geometry Processing. In this emerging
area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and
engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for the
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.

2nd Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling
Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, August 28-29, 2005

August 28-29, 2005 Workshop
Aims and Scope
Computers are now indispensable tools for various design activities ranging
from everyday document authoring to professional industrial and architecture
design. However, computers have yet to become usable at the very early
stages of design, where pencil and paper still reign. This is because
current user interfaces are too cumbersome for rapid exploration necessary
in these early stages. Sketching interfaces are emerging as an approach to
address this problem. They are expected to provide flexible, informal
interaction between computers and users that do not hinder creative
thinking.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for researchers
working on sketch-based interfaces to interact with one another, share
lessons learned, show new results, and discuss open issues. One direction to
explore is to develop new sketch-based interfaces for various applications
such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, and electronic note taking.
Another direction is to develop and improve technologies that support
sketch-based interfaces. They include classification and recognition of
handwritten texts and shapes, multimodal interfaces, and mobile computing
technologies. It is also important to clarify the nature of sketch-based
interfaces through empirical usability studies and careful comparison to
other interaction techniques. The proceedings will be published in EG
Workshop series and made available online through the Eurographics Digital
Library.
Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Sketch-based interfaces for 2D/3D computer graphics (modeling, animation,
etc.)
- Sketch-based interfaces for CAD systems
- Sketch-based interfaces for other applications (diagram editing, math
processing, etc.)
- Classification and recognition of handwritten sketches
- Multimodal interfaces for sketching
- Novel input technologies for sketching
- Rendering techniques for sketch-based interfaces (NPR)
- Creativity and design
- Usability studies on sketching
- Sketches for Medical and Volume data editing
Submission Procedure (all submissions are electronic) Authors are
requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, with the main
body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format as described in the
EG Publications pages. You can download LaTEX style files and for the
submissions. Each paper should contain title, authors' names and
affiliations, abstract, key-words, text, illustrations and references.
Submissions will be done electronically via email to
sbm05(a)ui.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp. We will accept papers in PDF format only.
Please contact the conference organizers should you experience any
problems with electronic submission. Selection will be based upon
technical and scientific content and relevance to the workshop.
Invited Speaker
Mark D Gross, Carnegie Mellon University
Venue and Fees
The workshop will be co-located with Eurographics 2005 . Workshop
participants will be charged a registration fee that includes a work-shop
proceedings book (printed by Eurographics Press), coffee breaks and a social

VAST2005 is the 6th International Symposium on Virtual Reality, Archaeology and
Cultural Heritage and incorporates the Third Eurographics Symposium on Graphics
and Cultural Heritage (EGSGH 2005). Additional symposium information can be
found at:
http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/vast05/
The symposium will take place in Pisa, Italy, during November 8-11, 2005.

Vast2005 continues the discussions of previous VAST and Eurographics on
Graphics and Cultural Heritage (CH) Symposia. The 2005 VAST Symposium will
focus on interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research concerning both
innovative CH informatics and use of technology for the representation and
communication of CH knowledge. The scope includes every phase of CH
informatics: initial data capture, information processing, dissemination of
results to the scientific community and the general public, and the wider legal
and ethical responsibilities of Cultural Informatics.
Research subjects parallel the interests of the EPOCH EU Network
(http://www.epoch-net.org/), including culturally significant artifacts and
sites as well as the activities of museums, libraries, archives, and
organizations involved with their care.
Those researchers who wish to participate in the VAST2005 Symposium are invited
to submit papers on original work addressing the following subjects or related
themes:
* Multimedia Data Acquisition, Management and Archiving
* 3D Data Capture and Processing
* CAD-based Digital Reconstructions
* Visualization (desktop, VR, AR)
* Computer Animation for CH Applications
* Non-Photorealistic Rendering of CH Data
* Novel Internet-based CH Applications
* Usability, Effectiveness and Interface Design for
CH Applications
* Innovative Graphics Applications and Techniques
* Interactive Environments and Applications
* Virtual Museum Applications
* Story-telling and Design of Heritage Communications
* Archaeological Analysis and Interpretive Design
* Tools for Education and Training in CH
* Standards and Documentation
* The Economics of Cultural Informatics and Tourism
* Professional and Ethical Guidelines
We are soliciting three types of contributions:
- Full research papers presenting new innovative results. These papers will be
published by Eurographics in a high-quality proceedings volume.
- Project papers focusing on the description of project organization, use of
technology, and lesson learned -- not innovative technical content. These
papers will have a full-length oral presentation and will be included in a
"Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume.
- Short papers presenting preliminary ideas and works-in-progress. These papers
will have a short oral presentation and be available as posters in conference
breaks. They will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings
volume.
All types of submissions will be reviewed and feedback given to the authors.
In addition, space will be available for "Live Showcases". If you have a system
you wish included in the showcase area, please contact the organizers.
