=================================================================== 7th Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV'07) May 20-21, 2007, Lugano, Switzerland (in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH - agreement pending) http://www.EGPGV07.org/ =================================================================== --------------- Call for Papers --------------- Aims and Scope of the Symposium ------------------------------- Following successful previous workshops/symposia that were held in Braga (PT) 2006, Grenoble (F) 2004, Bristol (UK) 1996, Rennes (F) 1998, Girona (E) 2000, and Blaubeuren (D) 2002, we are happy to announce the 7th Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization. The aim of this symposium is to share experiences and knowledge of parallel and distributed computing and its application to all aspects of computer graphics, virtual reality, scientific and engineering visualization. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Cluster based graphics and visualization Efficient graphics and visualization for shared and distributed memory systems Parallel and distributed systems for large and high resolution displays Parallel and distributed systems for photo-realistic rendering Parallel volume rendering Real-time systems for 3D virtual reality Data coherence in graphics algorithms Large data set visualization Large model realistic rendering Large scale simulations and graphics rendering Graphics and visualization in grid environments Parallel simulations for interactive applications Parallelism within GPU architectures GPU clusters The EGPGV Symposium will take place at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center, situated in Lugano, Switzerland, on the 20 and 21 of May, 2007. Invited Speakers ---------------- Dr. Carolina Cruz-Neira, Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise (http://www.lite3d.org) Dr. Philipp Slusallek, Saarland University (http://graphics.cs.uni-sb.de/~slusallek/) Papers Submission ------------------------------ The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and on the Eurographics Digital Library. There is a page limit of eight pages for the submitted papers. These must be prepared as a PDF file adhering strictly to the Eurographics Submission Instructions. A special journal issue for selected papers is planned and currently under negotiation. Short papers are also accepted to help disseminate work in progress. Each will be allowed a 4 page publication in a separate booklet distributed to the symposium attendees. Students are especially encouraged to submit short papers. Important Dates --------------- Full Paper Submission Deadline: 18, December, 2006 Short Paper Submission Deadline: 09, February, 2007 Notification of Acceptance: 09, March, 2007 Final Paper Submission Deadline: 23, March, 2007 Workshop and Program co-chairs ------------------------------ Jean M.
