IEEE/EG International Symposium on Volume Graphics August 10-11, 2008, Los Angeles co-located with ACM Siggraph 2008 http://www.zib.de/vg08/ Abstract submission deadline: May 02, 2008 Paper submission deadline: May 09, 2008 Volume Graphics 08 will be held in conjunction with the Point-Based Graphics Symposium 08, under the auspices of IEEE VGTC and Eurographics and will be co-located with ACM Siggraph 2008. Volume graphics deals with the analysis, synthesis and presentation of volumetric phenomena, both static and time-varying. Specifically, it includes topics related to the acquisition, reconstruction and transformation of volume data as well as feature analysis, information extraction and rendering. Research papers are solicited that present original, unpublished results concerning all aspects of volume graphics. We especially invite research contributions that report computational techniques derived from existing knowledge in numerical analysis, signal processing and statistical modeling. Furthermore, papers are solicited which demonstrate the efficacy of the methods of volume graphics in enhancing practices or understanding of specific applications. The accepted papers will be published by Eurographics Publishing in cooperation with IEEE VGTC Publishing. A selected number of the best papers will be further invited to submit an extended version to the IEEE Transactions of Visualization and Computer Graphics. A joint track on 'Sample-Based Graphics' will be organized to evaluate this as the umbrella topic under which the two symposia will proceed jointly in the future. Please refer to http://www.zib.de/vg08/submission.html for submission instructions.
