        Fourth Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP)
                 in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH

            Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, June 26-28 2006

   We welcome you at the sunny beaches of Sardinia to SGP06:

   The Symposium on Geometry Processing is the premier venue for
   disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in
   computerized processing of geometric models. In this emerging
   area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science,
   and engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for
   acquisition, reconstruction, manipulation, simulation and
   transmission of complex 3D models. Applications of geometry
   processing algorithms cover a wide range of areas from multimedia,
   entertainment, and classical computer-aided design, to bio-medical
   computing, reverse engineering, and scientific computing.

   The conference addresses diverse topics from Geometry Processing:
     - geometry and topology representations
     - compression of static or animated geometry
     - surface and volume parameterization
     - approximation and meshing
     - reverse engineering
     - simplification and level of detail
     - smoothing and denoising
     - computational geometry
     - multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis
     - geometric aspects of rendering and other fields
     - interactive techniques
     - animation and simulation

Program Co-Chairs:
   * Alla Sheffer, University of British Columbia
   * Konrad Polthier, Freie Universität Berlin

Organizing Co-Chairs:
   * Riccardo Scateni, Università di Cagliari
   * Roberto Scopigno, ISTI-CNR Pisa


PROCEEDINGS:
   The full-color proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
   Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.

INVITED SPEAKERS:
   In addition to the technical paper presentations the conference
   will have two distinguished invited speakers:

   * Markus Gross, ETH Zurich
   * Ron Kimmel, Technion.

INDUSTRY PANEL:
   NEW: the industry panel will be a new conference feature where
   representatives of major companies actively involved in geometry
   processing and its application will present and discuss the most
   challenging research problems in the work of their companies.
   This year's panelists are:

   * Arnaud Ribadeau-Dumas (Dassault Systèmes)
   * Rasmus Tamstorf (Disney)
   * Olivier Paugam (Mental Images)

POSTER SESSION:
   A posters session will provide an additional informative look into
   ongoing research. Papers with obvious potential but which missed
   the threshold may be invited to be presented as posters during the
   symposium. Two page abstracts of the posters will be published in
   a separate volume distributed to the symposium participants.
