*CAD/Graphics 2015* Call for Papers (Website: http://cadcg2015.nwpu.edu.cn)
*About*
The 14th International Conference on Computer-Aided Design and Computer Graphics (CAD/Graphics 2015) is co-organized by the Northwestern Polytechnical University, and Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications. The conference will be held in *Xi'an, China* on *August 26-28, 2015*. CAD/Graphics is affiliated with the Chinese Computer Federation (CCF) and is a biennial international conference. It provides an ideal forum for international researchers and developers to exchange new ideas on computer-aided design and computer graphics, electronic design automation and visualization to explore new ideas and trends.
 
Submission
The paper submission system for CAD/Graphics 2015 is now open!
(1) To submit: go to http://ees.elsevier.com/cag/ and click on "*submit paper*" in the top menu and log in (you will have to create an account if you don't have one already).
(2) *For papers on VLSI CAD, they are less likely published on C&G, but will be considered for publishing first in the conference proceedings by CPS and then a special issue of the VLSI Journal Integration published by Elsevier*.
(3) The step of "*Link to ORCID*" is NOT required for submission.
(4) Pick "*SI: CAD/Graphics 2015*" in the drop-down list of *Article Types*.
(5) While attaching files, please upload your paper for "*PDF of Manuscript*". In "*Anonymous Cover Letter*", you may summarize the key contributions of your work or clarify some issues.
(6) *DO NOT include any author details (names, affiliations, funding agencies)* in either the Cover Letter or the Manuscript. The review process will be *double blind*.
(7) For this submission, please *DO NOT submit LaTeX source files*, which are required only for accepted papers.
(8) To complete your submission, don't forget *approve your submission*:
(8.1) Click on "*Submissions Waiting for Author's Approval*";
(8.2) Click "*View Submission*" via "*Action Links*";
(8.3) Click on "*Approve Submission*" via "*Action Links*".
In a few minutes you will receive email confirmation. If you have not received a confirmation email, please contact *cadcg2015.chairs@gmail.com* <cadcg2015.chairs@gmail.com>.
*Note that all the approved submissions will be sent to the journal office and in general CANNOT be revised/removed afterwards. If changing your approved submission is really necessary (before the deadline), please contact the Editor in Chief at **computers-and-graphics@inesc-id.pt* <computers-and-graphics@inesc-id.pt>*.
-- Submission deadline: *April 12, 2015 - 23:59 UTC/GMT*
 
*Publications*
All regular full papers accepted to the conference will be published in a special section of the Elsevier journal *Computers and Graphics* (both SCI and EI indexed), before the conference. Other papers accepted will be published by *Conference Publishing Services (CPS)*, included in the IEEE Digital Library, submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore and the CSDL, and submitted for indexing by EI. After the conference is complete, a number of accepted papers in the area of electronic design automation will be invited to submit to a special issue of the *VLSI Journal Integration* published by Elsevier (both SCI and EI indexed).
