Eurographics 2008 - Crete - Now that the deadline for full papers for Eurographics 2007 has passed it is time to start thinking about writing a full paper for Eurographics 2008. As announced at the General Assembly in Vienna, the conference is moving to a spring-time slot (February to April period) with paper submission deadline in late September/early October. In making this decision the Executive Committee canvased a wide spectrum of interested parties and concluded that this change would be in the best interests of the research community so that the submission deadlines for Eurographics and ACM SIGGRAPH conferences are now widely separated. This change is for a three year trial period, starting in 2008. We are delighted to announce that Eurographics 2008 will be held from 14 - 18 APRIL 2008 in Crete. The event is organized by the Foundation for Research and Technology- Hellas (FORTH), one of the largest research organisations in Greece, whose activities span a wide range of areas including molecular biology, biomedical engineering, computer science and robotics. The co-chairs of the event are Panos Trahanias (FORTH Institute of Computer Science), Costantine Stephanidis (FORTH Institute of Computer Science) and Nigel John (University of Wales, Bangor, UK). The IPC Programme Chairs are George Drettakis (INRIA) and Roberto Scopigno (ISTI Pisa). As well as the conference dates, please note NOW in your diaries the key deadlines for full papers: + Deadline for Abstracts: Sept. 21st + Paper deadline: Sept 26th + Notification of decisions: Nov 19th The conference web site is under construction at http://www.ics.forth.gr/eg2008 - please monitor this for news of the event, details of the venue and the full composition of the organising committee which will be announced shortly.
