The ninth annual event unites researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of time-based phenomena. Our focused, intimate gathering, with single track program and emphasis on community interaction, makes SCA the best venue to exchange research results, get inspired, and set up collaborations. Don't miss out! *CALL FOR POSTERS AND DEMOS* We invite submissions to the SCA posters session. A poster or demo presentation is the perfect opportunity for authors to display and discuss late-breaking technical achievements. 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, or the SIGGRAPH General program. * Lab overviews which present a snapshot of the ongoing animation-related research at a given institution. All details are on http://www.gmrv.es/sca2010/posters.html *CALL FOR ANIMATIONS*: *NEW THIS YEAR AT SCA* !!!!
