Vast2005 continues the discussions of previous VAST and
Eurographics on
Graphics and Cultural Heritage (CH) Symposia. The 2005 VAST
Symposium will
focus on interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research
concerning both
innovative CH informatics and use of technology for the
representation and
communication of CH knowledge. The scope includes every
phase of CH
informatics: initial data capture, information processing,
dissemination of
results to the scientific community and the general public,
and the wider legal
and ethical responsibilities of Cultural
Informatics.
Research subjects parallel the interests of the EPOCH EU
Network
( http://www.epoch-net.org/), including culturally significant artifacts and
sites as well as the
activities of museums, libraries, archives, and
organizations involved with
their care.
Those researchers who wish to participate in the VAST2005
Symposium are invited
to submit papers on original work addressing the
following subjects or related
themes:
* Multimedia Data Acquisition,
Management and Archiving
* 3D Data Capture and Processing
* CAD-based
Digital Reconstructions
* Visualization (desktop, VR, AR)
* Computer
Animation for CH Applications
* Non-Photorealistic Rendering of CH Data
*
Novel Internet-based CH Applications
* Usability, Effectiveness and Interface
Design for
CH Applications
* Innovative Graphics Applications
and Techniques
* Interactive Environments and Applications
* Virtual
Museum Applications
* Story-telling and Design of Heritage
Communications
* Archaeological Analysis and Interpretive Design
* Tools
for Education and Training in CH
* Standards and Documentation
* The
Economics of Cultural Informatics and Tourism
* Professional and Ethical
Guidelines
We are soliciting three types of contributions:
-
Full research papers presenting new innovative results. These papers will
be
published by Eurographics in a high-quality proceedings volume.
-
Project papers focusing on the description of project organization, use
of
technology, and lesson learned -- not innovative technical content.
These
papers will have a full-length oral presentation and will be included
in a
"Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume.
- Short papers
presenting preliminary ideas and works-in-progress. These papers
will have a
short oral presentation and be available as posters in conference
breaks.
They will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers"
proceedings
volume.
All types of submissions will be reviewed and
feedback given to the authors.
In addition, space will be available for
"Live Showcases". If you have a system
you wish included in the showcase
area, please contact the organizers.
