[General] EG PGV'06 : Call for papers

=================================================================== 6th Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV'06) May 11-12, 2006, Braga, Portugal (in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH (agreement is pending)) http://www.di.uminho.pt/egpgv06 =================================================================== --------------------- First Call for Papers --------------------- Aims and Scope of the Symposium ------------------------------- Following successful previous workshops/symposia that were held in Grenoble (F) 2004, Bristol (UK) 1996, Rennes (F) 1998, Girona (E) 2000, and Blaubeuren (D) 2002, we are happy to announce the 6th Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization. The aim of this symposium is to share experiences and knowledge of parallel and distributed computing and its application to all aspects of computer graphics, virtual reality, scientific and engineering visualization. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Cluster based graphics and visualization Efficient graphics and visualization for shared and distributed memory systems Parallel and distributed systems for large and high resolution displays Parallel and distributed systems for photo-realistic rendering Parallel volume rendering Real-time systems for 3D virtual reality Data coherence in graphics algorithms Large data set visualization Large model realistic rendering Large scale simulations and graphics rendering Graphics and visualization in grid environments Parallel simulations for interactive applications Parallelism within GPU architectures GPU clusters The EGPGV Symposium will follow the Eurovis06 Symposium on Visualization and the Eurographics Workshop in Virtual Environments that will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, on the same week, from the 8th to the 10th of May, 2006 . Invited Speakers ---------------- Alan Chalmers Department of Computer Science University of Bristol United Kingdom James T. Klosowski Visualization Systems IBM T. J. Watson Research Center Papers and Posters Submissions ------------------------------ The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series. Selected papers will also be published in a Special Issue of the Journal of Parallel Computing, following a tradition established on 2004. A poster session will take place during the symposium. Each poster will be allowed a 4 page publication in a separate booklet distributed to the symposium attendees. Students are especially encouraged to submit posters. There will be a "best paper" award based on the content of the paper and selected by the Program chairs. There will also be a "best presentation" award based on the oral presentation and selected by all the symposium attendees. There is a page limit of eight pages for the submitted papers. These must be prepared as a PDF file adhering strictly to the Eurographics Submission Instructions. Important Dates --------------- Full Paper Submission Deadline: 27, January, 2006 Poster Submission Deadline: 15, February, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: 10, March, 2006 Final Paper Submission Deadline: 24, March, 2006 Workshop and Program co-chairs ------------------------------ Luis Paulo Santos, University of Minho Bruno Raffin, IMAG-ID, MOAIS/INRIA Alan Heirich, Sony Computer Entertainment America Local Organizers ---------------- Ad,rito Marcos, Center for Computer Graphics Ant¢nio Augusto Sousa, FE, University of Porto Ant¢nio Ramires Fernandes, DI, University of Minho Cristina Santos, DEI, University of Minho JoÆo Lu¡s Sobral, DI, University of Minho JoÆo Madeiras Pereira, IST/INESC Luis Paulo Santos, DI, University of Minho Vitor S , DSI, University of Minho Program Committee ----------------- Dirk Bartz, WSI/GRIS - VCM, University of Tubingen Georges-Pierre Bonneau, CNRS Kadi Bouatouch, IRISA Montserrat Boo Cepeda, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela Alan Chalmers, University of Bristol Paolo Cignoni, IEI - CNR Thomas Ertl, University of Stuttgart Issei Fujishiro, Tohoku University Charles Hansen, University of Utah Jian Huang, University of Tennessee, Knoxville Ulrich Lang, ZAIG, University of Cologne Margarita Amor Lopez, University of A Coruna Kwan-Liu Ma, University of California, Davis Jamie Painter, BlackMesa Capital Xavier Pueyo, University of Girona Eric Reinhard, University of Central Florida Bengt-Olaf Schneider, NVIDIA Han-Wei Shen, Ohio State University Claudio Silva, University of Utah Philipp Slusallek, Saarland University Sam Uselton, Consultant Rdiger Westermann, TU Mnchen Craig M.
