Call for Papers --------------- The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2009 will take place in Girona, Spain, from June 29 to July 1, 2009. This is the 20th annual event in the series of very successful Eurographics Symposia on Rendering and Eurographics Workshops on Rendering. The local organizers are Celine Loscos and Ignacio Martín. The program chairs are Hendrik Lensch and Peter-Pike Sloan. Up-to-date information about the conference is available on the EGSR 2009 web site: http://iiia.udg.edu/EGSR2009 Conference Topics ----------------- Conference topics include (but are not limited to): - Global illumination - Reflectance, volumetric scattering and translucency - Human perception and error measures - Rendering hardware and its application - Computational photography - Rendering dynamic/animated environments - Shadows and visibility - Monte Carlo techniques - Finite element techniques - Sampling, filtering, and anti-aliasing - Texture models, analysis, and synthesis - Non-photorealistic rendering - Image-based measurement and rendering - Sensing for graphics - Point-based rendering - Real-time rendering and real-time ray tracing - Systems and software architecture for rendering - Virtual/augmented reality and interactive systems The proceedings of EGSR will be a special issue of the journal Computer Graphics Forum. This will improve the availability of EGSR papers and make them citable as journal articles. Because of this there will be a brief second review cycle for any papers that require changes to be accepted; such papers will only be accepted after the changes have been confirmed by the program committee. Important Dates --------------- All deadlines are 11:59 p.m., US Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4).

Any work that has previously been published or simultaneously been submitted in substantially similar form to any other conference or journal will be rejected. Contributions must be written and presented in English. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted using the Eurographics publication style proceedings templates, and be anonymized for the double-blind reviewing process. Papers should be as long as their content requires, but not longer. Papers with average length requirements are expected to be 8 formatted pages long, including references and all figures; up to 10 pages will be allowed only where justified. During the review process, each paper's contribution will be judged in proportion to its length: a solid contribution described clearly and succinctly is more likely to be accepted than the same result submitted in a longer paper. All submissions must be made through the Eurographics Submission and Review Management system, using the following URL. http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_SR2009 The submission deadlines will be strictly enforced. The authors of each accepted paper need to complete and return the EG Copyright Assignment Form before the paper can be published.
