CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: EXTENDED DEADLINE July 21, 2017

******************************************************************************

STAG 2017 - Smart Tools and Applications in Graphics Catania, September 11-12, 2017 http://iplab.dmi.unict.it/stag2017/

******************************************************************************

The aim of the conference is to focus on smart novel ideas and smart customization of existing modeling and rendering techniques for effective Computer Graphics applications. The goal is also to bring together practitioners, users and researchers, which will hopefully inspire further collaboration between participants particularly between academia and industry.

The topics are (but not limited to):

     Modeling

     Rendering

     Animation

     Imaging and image processing

     Human-Computer Interaction

     Graphics systems

     Applications

     Information visualization

     Volume graphics

     Web graphics

In particular, we are looking for:

* Tricks and Hacks: clever ways to optimize or otherwise improve known techniques or algorithms for real-world applications

* Original Techniques and Algorithms: new ways to solve real problems.

Methods that offer improvements over ones in common use.

* Experience/Advice: how to make practical use of known research results. For example, what are the parameter settings that really work?

How much precision is needed? How many data points?

************************************************************************

Important Dates:

* Submission deadline: July 21, 2017

* Notification: August 12, 2017

* Camera ready: August 20, 2017

************************************************************************

Submission

Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory. Papers must be written in English, must be anonymized, should not exceed 10 pages in length, and must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum publication guidelines. This event uses a double-blind reviewing approach, so please remove all personal data (like such as authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for evaluation.

We are planning special issues of contributions presented at STAG 2017.
