*** EGPGV 2012 - Call for Papers *** Welcome to the 12th EGPGV, the Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization. The event will take place on May 13 - 14 in Cagliari, island of Sardinia, Italy. The Symposium will be held in conjunction with Eurographics 2012. EGPGV is the premier international event focusing on parallel graphics and visualization technology, where novel solutions exploiting and defining new trends in parallel hardware and software architectures are presented. The aim of the symposium is to strongly encourage exchange of experiences and knowledge in parallel and distributed visual computing and its application to all aspects of computer graphics and data visualization. For more information, please refer to the symposium website http://www.egpgv.org/egpgv2012. All papers should have a direct relation to some aspect of parallelism in graphics or visualization such as multi-core computing, multi-pipe GPU rendering/computing, distributed systems, clusters or grid environments. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Photo-realistic rendering - Volume rendering - Large data set visualization - GPGPU applications - Simulations for interactive applications - Cluster based graphics and visualization systems - Large and high resolution displays - Efficient graphics and visualization methods - Out of core rendering from/for multiple resources - Parallel visual computing - Large scale simulations and graphics rendering - Visualization and graphics for scientific, engineering and commercial applications - Graphics and visualization in Grid environments - Multimodal applications - Scheduling, memory management and data coherence The proceedings of the Symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and on the Eurographics Digital Library. Note that the authors of up to three of the best papers from the EGPGV Symposium will be invited to submit extended journal versions to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
