[General] EGPGV 2013

We apologise if you have received multiple copies of this message! --CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline for submissions: 3 February, 2013 Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2013) Girona, Spain , 4-5 May 2013 ( <http://www.egpgv.org/egpgv2013> www.egpgv.org/egpgv2013) *SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The importance of parallel computing is again increasing rapidly with the ubiquitous availability of multi-core CPUs, GPUs as well as cluster systems. Computationally demanding disciplines such as realistic 3D computer graphics and high-performance scientific visualization are strongly affected by this trend and require novel efficient parallel graphics and visualization solutions. All papers should have a direct relation to some aspect of parallelism in graphics or visualization such as multi-core computing, GPU rendering/computing, distributed systems, clusters or grid environments. 

The aim of this symposium is to strongly encourage the exchange of experiences and knowledge in novel solutions exploiting and defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization techniques, including parallel hardware architecture, software tools, and applications. The proceedings of the Symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and on the Eurographics Digital Library. Note that the best papers from the EGPGV Symposium will be invited to submit extended journal versions to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: • Photo-realistic rendering • Volume rendering • Large data set visualization • GPGPU applications • Simulations for interactive applications • Cluster based graphics and visualization systems • Large and high resolution displays • Efficient graphics and visualization methods • Out of core rendering from/for multiple resources • Parallel visual computing • Large scale simulations and graphics rendering • Visualization and graphics for scientific, engineering and commercial applications • Graphics and visualization in Grid environments • Multimodal applications • Scheduling, memory management and data coherence • Hybrid distributed/shared memory parallel visualization algorithms * PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works, no longer than 8 pages. Submitted papers should be formatted according to the Eurographics paper publication guidelines.
 We expect that the submissions will clearly discuss the novel and significant contributions as well as related work in the field. Authors must highlight how their contributions differ and advance the state of the art in parallel graphics and visualization. The full paper and all supplementary material must be submitted via the Eurographics online SRM system.

This event uses a double-blind reviewing approach, so please remove all personal data (like author, affiliation etc.) from your submission! Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the EGPGV conference and present the paper in the symposium. Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. *IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: ------------------------------------------- February 3, 2013 Author Notification: ------------------------------------- March 19, 2013 Camera Ready Papers Due: --------------------------- March 31, 2013 Conference Dates: --------------------------------------- May 4 – 5, 2013 * PROGRAM COMMITTEE Symposium Chair ------------------------ Margarita Amor López, Universidad de A Coruña Program Co-Chairs -------------------------- Fabio Marton, CRS4, Italy Kenneth Moreland, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Committee Members: ----------------------------- James Ahrens, Los Alamos National Laboratory John Biddiscombe, Swiss National Supercomputing Center Lugano Joao Comba, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Kurt Debattista, University of Warwick Jean-Michel Dischler, University of Strasbourg Stefan Eilemann, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Jens Krüger, Saarland University Patrick McCormick, Los Alamos National Laboratory Renato Pajarola, University of Zurich Luis Paulo Santos, Universidade do Minho Marc Stamminger, University of Erlanger Daniel Weiskopf, University of Stuttgat Torsten Kuhlen, RWTH Aachen University Hank Childs, Lawrence Berkeley Lab Michael Dogget, Lund University Paul Navratil, Texas Advanced Computing Center Carsten Dachsbacher, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Tom Peterka, Argonne National Laboratory
