Web3D technologies for sustainable energy and power systems applications. Call for Papers ------------------ We welcome the submission of papers presenting original work in Web3D research and application on the topics including but not limited to as described above. All submissions will be peer-reviewed for quality and contribution by the conference International Program Committee. In collaboration with the Editor-in-Chief of Graphical Models, the best papers of Web3D 2015 will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in a forthcoming special issue of the journal after an additional review cycle. Authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 9 pages, including figures and references) or short papers (up to 4 pages, including figures and references) in PDF format via the Submission Site at <http://web3d2015.web3d.org/papers.html> http://web3d2015.web3d.org/papers.html. Papers must be formatted using the document templates for conferences sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH (please refer to <http://www.siggraph.org/learn/instructions-authors> http://www.siggraph.org/learn/instructions-authors). Poster Submission Instructions ------------------ Web3D 2015 offers a timely venue to present and discuss new web 3D research through a forum that encourages graphical presentation, demonstration and active engagement with participants. We particularly encourage contributions that take advantage of the nature of the poster space to present and raise awareness of the work in effective and imaginative ways. Submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee for contribution and interest to conference topics. For more information, please see the poster submission instructions at <http://web3d2015.web3d.org/posters.html> http://web3d2015.web3d.org/posters.html. Tutorial and Workshop Submission Instructions ------------------ Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged. As in previous years, Web3D 2015 will also feature a number of co-located Workshop sessions. The series of Workshops and Tutorials are intended to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from both the Web and 3D graphics communities to discuss and exchange positions on current and emergent 3D Web topics.
