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.
