[General] CALL FOR PAPERS; Symposium on Geometry Processing 2005 (Vienna, Austria)

__ __ __ __ __ ( / _ /__) / / )/_ __)(__)/ (__/ __) 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. 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 ---- Important Dates: Electronic abstract submission deadline: April 20, 2005 Electronic paper submission deadline: April 27, 2005 Author notification of acceptance: May 23, 2005 Camera-ready copy deadline: May 31, 2005 Symposium: July 4-6, 2005 ---- Submission procedure: Details of this all-electronic submission procedure are available on the official SGP website: http://www.geometryprocessing.org Authors are requested to submit an abstract for their paper (in plain text format) by April 20, 2005. The abstract submission should contain the names and institutions of all authors, contact information of one contact author (name, e-mail, postal address, 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. ----- For information on location, registration, and other details, please visit: http://www.geometryprocessing.org
