Call for GALA

by Stefanie Behnke

Dear Colleague, I would like to draw your attention to a new event in October 2005: GALA - Gathering of Animated Lifelike Agents. GALA is an annual festival meant, first of all but not exclusively, for students, to showcase novel applications of and tools for animated lifelike agents. There will be prizes for students' submissions, but the main benefit both for the participants and the broad community will be the forum - also a permanent on-line GALA Gallery with the best entries - where recent works in the ECA field can be seen. Also, we wish to stimulate students' work. The deadline for 2-4 minutes movie submissions is 30 June. More information on submission tracks - students and others - , the two submission categories - application and creation - , and on location, organizers etc. is available at GALA web page: http://hmi.ewi.utwente.nl/gala/ Please, make your students and colleagues aware of this event, by distributing the enclosed call electronically and/or in printed form. Encourage your students to submit their work, done as a student project for a course or as part of an ongoing research project. Thank you for your cooperation. Any question or suggestion is welcome. With regards, Zsofia Ruttkay Chair of GALA **************************************************************************************************** Zsófia Ruttkay Associate Professor, Human Media Interaction, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Twente e-mail: zsofi(a)cs.utwente.nl office: Zilverling 2033 tel: 00 31 53 489 2836 or 3740 smail: POBox 217 fax: 00 31 53 489 3503 7500 AE Enschede url: www.cs.utwente.nl/~zsofi The Netherlands

EG2005 Medical Prize - Call for Participation

by Stefanie Behnke

The EG 2005 Medical Prize http://isg.cs.tcd.ie/eg2005/Medical/ The Eurographics Association organises a biannual competition to acknowledge the contribution that computer graphics is playing in the medical field, and to encourage further development. Submissions for the EG2005 Medical Prize are now being invited from researchers and developers who can demonstrate that a particular benefit has resulted from the use of computer graphics technology in a medical application that they have produced. Examples of entries could include the use of new medical visualization techniques, virtual environments and augmented reality. The winner of the EG2005 Medical Prize will be announced at EG2005 in Dublin, and the winning entry will receive a total prize of € 500. The judging panel will select the winning entry on the basis of its clinical value, use made of computer graphics, and novelty. The Submission deadline is Thursday 30th June. Please visit the web site for more information and submission instructions. The EG 2005 Medical Prize is sponsored by Immersion Medical. http://isg.cs.tcd.ie/eg2005/Medical/

Call for Papers: Sketch-based Interfaces and Modeling 2005

by Joaquim Jorge

Call for Papers 2nd Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, August 28-29, 2005 http://www.eg.org/sbm/ Important Dates May 30, 2005 Submission deadline June 27, 2005 Notification of acceptance July 11, 2005 Deadline for camera-ready copies 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 event in the first evening of the workshop. Registration fee will be announced later.
