[General] GRAPHICS HARDWARE 2007: CFP

Call for Papers GRAPHICS HARDWARE 2007 Co-Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics 4-5 August 2007, San Diego, California Paper deadline: Monday, 9 April 2007 Please see the CFP below for full details. http://www.graphicshardware.org/ http://www.graphicshardware.org/cfp.html ==== Introduction Graphics Hardware is a highly visible, established international forum for exchanging experience and knowledge related to computer graphics hardware. The event, held annually since 1986, offers a unique perspective on graphics hardware by combining discussions and constructive critique of innovative concepts as well as product-level designs. It is an inclusive forum for the entire graphics hardware community and brings together researchers, engineers, and architects. The program features two days of paper and industry presentations, with ample time for discussion during breaks, lunches, and the workshop banquet. This year's event will be held in San Diego, California, jointly with Siggraph. Our website is located at http://www.graphicshardware.org/. Schedule Monday, April 9 Deadline for paper submissions (11:59 pm Pacific Daylight Time) Thursday, May 10 Notification of acceptance Friday, May 18 Camera-ready papers due Saturday-Sunday, August 4-5 Conference Papers Track We invite high-quality, original papers on all aspects of computer graphics hardware describing either proven and tested solutions or novel ideas and concepts. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * Graphics accelerator architectures * Performance measurement, modelling, and optimization * Exploitation of new memory technologies for 3D graphics * Graphics for mobile devices * Integrated graphics chipsets * Hardware support for image-based rendering * Volume rendering architectures * Hardware support of new surface representations * Multi-processor architectures for graphics * Load balancing in graphics systems * Space, screen, and model partitioning * Software-hardware interfaces * Hardware accelerated rendering * Programmable graphics processors * Shading language implementation * Vertex, geometry, and pixel programming techniques * GPU-related compression/decompression techniques * Programming techniques for data-parallel problems * Hardware support for video processing * Novel display technologies * General Purpose GPU papers which meet all of: - Graphics hardware is essential to the method - New and non-obvious algorithmic changes are required to run on graphics hardware - The algorithm is likely to influence GPU designs or have lasting value as GPUs change Paper length: There is no fixed maximum length for a paper. However, the magnitude of the contribution must be proportional to the length of the paper, and papers longer than eight typeset pages in the final Eurographics format must make a very significant contribution to get accepted. Papers of four or fewer pages will be held to a less strict standard of citation and description of related work (comparison to the strongest alternative techniques is still important, but an exhaustive review is not necessary). All accepted papers are treated equally, i.e., printed in the proceedings and presented at the conference. Submission info: Authors are invited to upload papers electronically in Adobe PDF format by visiting http://www.graphicshardware.org/submissions.html. Submissions should follow the formatting guidelines on http://www.eg.org/publications/guidelines/. We encourage anonymous submissions (in which the paper contains no information identifying the authors) whenever possible. Video sequences in QuickTime, MPEG or AVI format may be submitted using the electronic submission system.
