Registration details can be found at http://www.di.uminho.pt/egpgv06 Looking forward to meet you in May, Luis Paulo Santos Symposium Chair Aims and Scope of the Symposium ------------------------------- Following successful previous workshops/symposia that were held in Grenoble (F) 2004, Bristol (UK) 1996, Rennes (F) 1998, Girona (E) 2000, and Blaubeuren (D) 2002, we are happy to announce the 6th 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 follow the Eurovis06 Symposium on Visualization and the Eurographics Workshop in Virtual Environments that will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, on the same week, from the 8th to the 10th of May, 2006 . Invited Speakers ---------------- Alan Chalmers Department of Computer Science University of Bristol United Kingdom James T. Klosowski Visualization Systems IBM T. J. Watson Research Center Papers and Short Papers ------------------------------ The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series. Selected papers will also be published in a Special Issue of the Journal of Parallel Computing, following a tradition established on 2004. There will be a "best paper" award based on the content of the paper and selected by the Program chairs. There will also be a "best presentation" award based on the oral presentation and selected by all the symposium attendees.
