The European Network of Excellence
AIM@SHAPE (http://www.aimatshape.net/)
is organizing a
Summer School on Interactive Shape Modeling
(http://www.interactiveshapemodeling.net/)
taking place July 8th-12th in Darmstadt, Germany.
Speakers include researchers from within the network (Alexis Angelidis,
Marie-Paule Cani, Stefanie Hahmann, Jean-Claude Leon) as well as the
following set of outstanding shape creators:
- Sarah Frisken, Tufts, Inventor of Kizamu
- Takeo Igarashi, Tokyo, Inventor of Teddy

Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena
http://egwnp.liris.cnrs.fr
Dublin, Ireland
Aims and Scope
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 10 pages, with the
main body set in
Eurographics Conference Paper Format. You can download a set of LaTeX style
files from
http://egwnp.liris.cnrs.fr. Each paper should contain title, authors' names
and affiliations, abstract,
keywords, text, illustrations and references. Detailed guidelines are
available through the Workshop
Site. 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'05 Conference
(August 30, Dublin, Ireland)
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

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.
We are now inviting submissions related to, but not limited to, the
following topics in geometry processing:
- geometry and topology representations
- compression of static or animated geometry
- surface and volume parameterization
- approximation and meshing
- reverse engineering
- simplification and level of detail
- smoothing and denoising
- computational geometry
- multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis
- geometric aspects of rendering and other fields
- interactive techniques
- animation and simulation
The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.
Note also that there will be three prestigious invited speakers:
* Herbert Edelsbrunner, Duke University
* Luis Velho, Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada
* Marc Alexa, Technische Universität Darmstadt

phone and fax numbers), and the working title and abstract of the
submission.
Submitted manuscripts should be prepared for double-blind review,
and should be original work, not concurrently submitted to any other
venue. The length of a submitted papers should typically not exceed
10 pages, formatted in the proper publication style (LaTeX files
available online). A submission can also be accompanied by
electronic supplementary material (e.g, video).
Submitted papers will be carefully reviewed by members of the
Program Committee (see list online and on attached flier) and
selected external reviewers.
-----
NEW THIS YEAR:
Papers with obvious potential but that did not make the cut may be
invited to present a poster during the symposium: these posters
will also be advertised through two-page descriptions, all
gathered in a separate proceedings document given to the symposium
participants.

CALL-FOR-POSTERS for CGI 2005
Computer Graphics International is pleased to announce its poster
program and is soliciting high quality poster proposals. The CGI
posters program offers an opportunity to present innovative techniques
in commercial products, work in progress, student projects, or
non-traditional research. Posters on any subject related to computer
graphics (see a topic list below) will be considered. An informal
poster session will be held which should allow plenty of opportunities
for one-on-one dialogue and small group discussion in a casual
setting. Although extended abstracts describing each poster will be
distributed at the conference, posters will NOT be included in regular
proceedings and are NOT considered publications. The same work can
therefore be submitted to journals and conferences later.
Poster proposals should present at least partial results achieved with
a new technique. Submissions describing unsubstantiated ideas for
future research will not be accepted. Based on the results of paper
review process, CGI 05 committee has decided to offer several authors
to present their work as invited posters and we expect to build a high
quality poster program based on these core contributions. Proposals
will be evaluated by members of CGI 05 committee based on level of
contribution to the field of computer graphics, validity of the
results, originality, and clarity of presentation.
Submission procedure: Please e-mail a pdf file with an extended
abstract (maximum 2 pages formatted according to IEEE guidelines
available at http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm) to
cgi_pstr(a)cs.sunysb.edu File name should start with primary author's
full last name followed by an underscore and arbitrary poster name,
for example samaras_cool_faces.pdf IMPORTANT: Please do NOT use paper
submission system for anything related to posters. Even if the CGI 05
committee offered you to present an invited poster based on your
earlier paper submission, please send the new 2 page version to the
address above by the deadline specified below. This will serve as an
indication that you accept our invitation and are willing to present
your poster at the conference.
Poster presentation: Authors of accepted posters will prepare, print,
and bring their own 60 x 40 portrait or landscape posters to the
conference. Mounting materials will be provided. Posters will be on
display during the conference. A special poster session will be
scheduled during which at least one registered author is required to
stand by his/her poster.
Important dates for poster submissions:
March 28th, 2005: Poster submission deadline.
April 11th, 2005: Notification of acceptance.
