STAG 2016  - Smart Tools and Applications in Graphics

Genova, October 3-4 2016

http://stag2016.ge.imati.cnr.it

******************************************************************************

The aim of the conference is to focus on smart novel ideas and smart customization of existing modeling and rendering techniques for effective Computer Graphics applications. The goal is also to bring together practitioners, users and researchers, which will hopefully inspire further collaboration between participants particularly between academia and industry.

The topics are (but not limited to):

    Modeling

    Rendering

    Animation

    Imaging and image processing

    Human-Computer Interaction

    Graphics systems

    Applications

    Information visualization

    Volume graphics

    Web graphics

In particular, we are looking for:

Tricks and Hacks: clever ways to optimize or otherwise improve known techniques or algorithms for real-world applications

Original Techniques and Algorithms: new ways to solve real problems. Methods that offer improvements over ones in common use.

Experience/Advice: how to make practical use of known research results. For example, what are the parameter settings that really work? How much precision is needed? How many data points?

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: July 17, 2016

Notification: August 20, 2016

Camera ready: September 7, 2016

Submission

Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory. Papers must be written in English, must be anonymized, should not exceed 10 pages in length, and must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum publication guidelines. This event uses a double-blind reviewing approach, so please remove all personal data (like such as authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for evaluation.

We are planning special issues of contributions presented at STAG 2016. In 2015, the authors of the three selected best papers were invited to submit an extended version of their works for review and potential publication in a Special Issue of the Computer and Graphics Journal, Elsevier.
