CALL FOR PAPERS The Symposium on Geometry Processing (http://www.geometryprocessing.org) is the premier venue for disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in computerized processing of geometric models. In this emerging area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for acquisition, reconstruction, manipulation, simulation and transmission of complex 3D models. We invite submissions related to, but not limited to, the following topics in geometry processing: * geometry and topology representations * compression of static or animated geometry * surface and volume parameterization * approximation and meshing * reverse engineering * robust geometric computing * simplification and level of detail * smoothing and denoising * multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis * geometric aspects of rendering and other fields * interactive techniques * animation and simulation Applications of geometry processing algorithms cover a wide range of areas from multimedia, entertainment, and classical computer-aided design, to bio-medical computing, reverse engineering, architectural design, and scientific computing. We welcome papers related to applications of geometry processing such as the above. IMPORTANT DATES (http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/SGP08/dates.html) Electronic abstract submission deadline: April 20, 2008 Electronic paper submission deadline: April 27, 2008 (23:59 PDT) Author notification: May 26, 2008 Camera ready copy deadline: June 1st, 2008 Symposium: July 2-4, 2008 SUBMISSION PROCEDURE (http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_SGP08) Authors are required to submit an abstract of their paper (in plain-text format) by April 20, 2008, using an online form available at the above website. Submitted manuscripts must be prepared for double-blind review, and must be original work, not concurrently submitted to any other venue. Submitted papers should describe their contributions concisely (we suggest that papers not exceed 8 pages), and should adhere strictly to the EG publication style (LaTeX files available online: http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_SGP08/templates/latex.zip). A submission can also be accompanied by electronic supplementary material (e.g. image, video, demo). Submitted papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee and selected external reviewers. PROCEEDINGS This year the SGP proceedings will appear for the first time as an issue of the Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the EUROGRAPHICS Association. The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised submissions.
