[General] EGWNP 2006 : Deadline for paper submission extended

Second Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena Vienna, Austria, September 5, 2006 http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/events/EGWNP06/ After several requests by authors, the deadline for submitting papers to the EG Workshop on Natural Phenomena has been changed to May 25, 2006. The call for papers and the web site is enclosed in this mail. Best regards, Program Co-Chairs: Norishige Chiba Eric Galin Call for papers Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations. Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling, animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non-concious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Plant structure modeling - Ecosystem simulation - Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog .) - Simulating liquid flows - Modeling fire and smoke - Aging and weathering - Terrain modeling Important Dates May 25, 2006 Submission deadline June 25, 2006 Notification of acceptance July 8, 2006 Deadline for camera-ready copies September 5, 2006 Workshop (one full day)
