Call for Papers
Eurographics Workshop on Natural
Phenomena
http://egwnp.liris.cnrs.fr
Dublin,
Ireland
Aims and Scope
Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a
challenging and important problem
in computer
graphics. The challenge
stems not only from the complexity and diversity of
objects and
natural
phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of
small
details that
should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically
plausible
simulations. Therefore,
there is still a need for interactive
modeling and simulation techniques
capable for handling
complex synthetic
sceneries.
The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques
for modeling,
animating, simulating
and rendering complex natural
phenomena. The workshop will build on work
done in recent
years including
simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant
modeling,
ecosystem
simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus
on
non-concious or inanimate nature
like rock, trees, oceans, wind,
meadows (animals and humans as part of
nature should be excluded).
Work in
this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete.
Authors are
invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas.
Topics of
interest include,
but are not limited to:
- Plant structure modeling
-
Ecosystem simulation
- Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog .)
- Simulating
liquid flows
- Modeling fire and smoke
- Aging and weathering
- Terrain
modeling
Submission Procedure (all submissions are
electronic)
Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10
pages, with the
main body set in
Eurographics Conference Paper Format. You
can download a set of LaTeX style
files from
http://egwnp.liris.cnrs.fr. Each paper should contain title,
authors' names
and affiliations, abstract,
keywords, text, illustrations
and references. Detailed guidelines are
available through the
Workshop
Site. We will accept papers in PDF format only. Please contact
the
conference organizers should
you experience any problems with
electronic submission.
Post-workshop proceedings will be available
on-line through the Eurographics
Digital Library
and in paper book form in
the Eurographics Book Series. Selection will be
based upon technical
and
scientific content and relevance to the workshop.
Workshop
Format
The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics'05
Conference
(August 30, Dublin, Ireland)
to encourage a broad range of
participants. As such, it will provide a very
interesting opportunity
for
researchers that want to attend or present communications at both
events.
The workshop will be held
in one day, including paper presentation
and invited sessions. Participation
is open to everyone, not
requiring
submission of a paper.
