Symposium on Computer Animation 2012 July 29-31 Lausanne, Switzerland Call for Participation & Poster submissions The Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) is the premier forum for innovations in the software and technology of computer animation. With 80 submitted scientific papers SCA 2012 promises to become one of those memorable SCA events. This year it will be held near Lake Geneva in EPFL providing a fantastic view on this beautiful region. Three social events will offer opportunities of extended exchanges within the architectural landmark of the Rolex Learning Center, the very original wooden shell structure of the Polydome venue, and finally the historical wineyard castle of Glérolle on the lakeshore. And this year SCA will feature keynote presentations by: * Markus Gross (ETHZ & Disney Research Zurich) * Karl Grammer (University of Vienna) Benefit from the early registration fees until June 30th ! http://conferences.inf.ed.ac.uk/sca2012/register.html Blocked rooms in various hotels are also guaranteed until June 30th. http://conferences.inf.ed.ac.uk/sca2012/travel.html The Call for poster and presentation is still open until June 30th. http://conferences.inf.ed.ac.uk/sca2012/call.html The SCA poster and demo session is the perfect opportunity for authors to display late-breaking technical achievements that are not yet ready for publication as a full paper. The poster session is integrated with the second social event in the Polydome ; it will be introduced by a fast-forward session during which all presenters will give a one-minute description of their work. New this year! A Best Poster award will be presented to the top poster. Note that posters are not formal publications, so work submitted as a poster is still eligible for later publication, and will be exempt from inclusion in the ACM and Eurographics Digital Libraries. We encourage any of the following types of poster submissions: * Up and coming computer animation research * Technically novel production work * Work done outside of SCA that would be of interest to the computer animation community. This includes animation-related works recently accepted to other conferences such as I3D or NPAR. * Lab overviews which present a snapshot of the ongoing animation-related research at a given institution * Half-baked ideas and negative results Important Dates All deadlines are 6pm, US Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4). * 2012 June 25th: Notification of acceptance for SCA papers. * 2012 June 30th: Deadline for poster submission. * 2012 June 30th: END of EARLY REGISTRATION and BLOCKED ROOMS * 2012 July 12th: Notification of acceptance for posters. * 2012 July 16th: Camera-ready papers and posters due. * 2012 July 29th-31st: Symposium http://conferences.inf.ed.ac.uk/sca2012/index.html
