------------------------------------------------------------- VRIPHYS05 CALL FOR PAPERS http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/vriphys05 ------------------------------------------------------------- Second Workshop in Virtual Reality Interactions and Physical Simulations (VRIPHYS '05) Pisa, Italy November 6 2005 _____________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The workshop is organized in cooperation with Eurographics and the Italian Center of Excellence in ENDOscopic Computer Aided Surgery (ENDOCAS). We invite communications that describe innovative research in the domains of dynamic simulations and physical interactions in virtual reality. We also welcome papers showing on-going research with promising results. ______________________________________________________________ TOPICS: Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas: - Collision detection techniques - Deformable objects (e.g. biomechanical modeling of soft and hard tissues) - Physical standards for assessing deformable objects (e.g. performance metrics & validation of medical simulators ) - Natural phenomena modeling (hair, fluids, ...) - Geometric algorithms for physical simulation - Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces - Physically based dynamics ( video games, medical simulators ) _______________________________________________________________ INFORMATION SUBMISSION: Papers are allowed 6 to 10 pages and formatted according to the EG publication guidelines for conference submission. For double-blind reviewing, the anonymous submission version should be used. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and appear in the proceedings. A selection of papers (up to 6) will be published in Computer&Graphics, special issue: "Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation for C&G, vol. 30, no. 3. The works must be sent in pdf and should include the following data: Abstract of not more than 150 words. Three to five keywords. Your email must include (besides your paper in PDF format): Contact information of pme contact author (name, e-mail, postal address, phone, fax numbers). __________________________________________________________________ DEADLINES Papers due: July 6, 2005 Notification of acceptance: September 12, 2005 Deadline for camera-ready version: October 3, 2004 A selection of papers (up to 6) will be published in Computer&Graphics, special issue: "Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation for C&G, vol. 30, no. 3. ___________________________________________________________________ ORGANIZATION Cesar Mendoza ( co-chair ) Departamental II - Desp. 147Escuela Superior de Ciencias Experimentales y Tecnología Universidad Rey Juan Carlos c/ Tulipan s/n, E-28933 Mostoles (Madrid) - España tel: +34 91 488 8300 Fabio Ganovelli (co-chair) Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione (ISTI-CNR) Area della Ricerca CNR di Pisa Via G.
