[General] CFP -- SCA 2010

====================================================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION -- SCA 2010 ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Symposium on Computer Animation Madrid, Spain July 2-4 http://www.gmrv.es/sca2010/ ====================================================== The Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) is the premier forum for innovations in the software and technology of computer animation. The ninth annual event unites researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of time-based phenomena. Our focused, intimate gathering, with single track program and emphasis on community interaction, makes SCA the best venue to exchange research results, get inspired, and set up collaborations. Don't miss out! We invite submission of original, high-quality papers on computer animation, broadly defined as computation dealing with time-varying phenomena. Each submission will be refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty, significance, and clarity. We invite work on a broad range of topics, such as - 2D, 3D, and N-D animation systems - animation systems - autonomous characters - clothing animation and simulation - expressive motion / communication - facial animation - group and crowd behavior - intuitive interfaces for creating and editing animations - mathematical foundations of animation - methods of control and artistic direction of simulations - nature in motion (natural phenomena, plants, clouds, ...) - new time-based art forms on the computer - novel time-varying phenomena - perceptual metrics for animation - perceptual foundations of animation - physical realism / measuring the real world for animation - physical simulation - planning / learning / optimization for animation - real-time and interactive methods - sound and speech for animation ... as well as on related problems in robotics, game development, human-computer interaction, simulation, visualization, computer vision, and others. *** Conference co-Chairs *** Francois Faure (Grenoble Universities, INRIA, LJK-CNRS) Caroline Larboulette (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid) *** Program co-Chairs *** Zoran Popovic (University of Washington) Miguel A. Otaduy (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid) *** Important Dates *** All deadlines are 11:59pm Central European Time (GMT+2). 11th of Apr 2010: Deadline for papers submissions 9th of May 2010: Notification of papers acceptance 23rd of May 2010: Camera-ready papers due 2nd-4th of Jul 2010: Symposium All papers will be reviewed carefully by the International Program Committee members. Given the limited time between submission and final version, papers will be evaluated as submitted. The SCA'10 electronic proceedings will be archived in the EG and ACM digital libraries. Extraordinarily good submissions will be invited to submit extended papers to ACM Transaction on Graphics (TOG). Authors of some rejected papers with high potential will be invited to submit their work to a combined posters & demos track. In addition to the technical papers and the posters & demos track, the conference program will also include an animation track. Please check the conference webpage (http://www.gmrv.es/sca2010/) for regular updates and more information. We look forward to seeing you in Madrid!
