/// VMV 2016 - Call for Participation /// <http://vmv2016.uni-bayreuth.de/> http://vmv2016.uni-bayreuth.de/ We invite you to Bayreuth, Germany, to participate in the 21st International Symposium on Vision, Modeling and Visualization (VMV 2016). It takes place at the University of Bayreuth from October 10-12, 2016. The early bird registration deadline is coming up soon (September 11). We compiled an exciting program with over 20 technical papers, two poster tracks (see below for details), and three keynotes: * Eduard Gröller (TU Wien): Visual Data Exploration * Kai Hormann (Università Della Svizzera Italiana): Generalized Barycentric Coordinates * Robert Hoffmeister (Milkroom Studios GmbH): VR & AR: From Research to the Search for Content and Markets The festival city of Bayreuth is world-famous for its annual Richard Wagner music festival. The baroque architecture is impressive, some of which has been recently added to UNESCO's World Heritage list. The presence of over 13.000 students at the University of Bayreuth ensures an active nightlife. The VMV Symposium series is a well-established international symposium covering the fields of computer graphics, computer vision, visualization, and visual analytics. VMV offers researchers the opportunity to discuss a wide range of different topics within an open and interdisciplinary environment. As in previous years, the proceedings will be published in cooperation with Eurographics. Extended versions of the three best papers will be invited to Computer Graphics Forum.

Standard Posters Track BSc and MSc students are encouraged to submit a poster abstract related to any area in computer graphics, computer vision, and visualization. Example works include, but are not limited to student projects as well as bachelor and masters theses. Nectar Track We offer a special poster session for participants who do not present an accepted paper at VMV 2016. For those people, we offer a small number of high-profile slots in which they can display a poster that describes one of their best conference or journal publications within the last two years that they would like to share and discuss with the VMV 2016 participants. The goal of the nectar poster session is to provide a compact overview of important scientific advances that the VMV community has published elsewhere.
