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 .
