... Apologies if you have received this announcement by more than one route ... Please Note: - deadline is approaching (April 7th -> abstract, April 14th -> full papers) - submission instructions are on the SGP'04 web --------------- Call for Papers --------------- Second Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP 2004) in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH [approval pending] Nice, France, July 8-10 http://www.geometryprocessing.org Program Co-Chairs: Roberto Scopigno, ISTI-CNR, Italy Denis Zorin, NYU, USA Organizing Co-Chairs: Pierre Alliez, INRIA, France Jean-Daniel Boissonnat, INRIA, France The goal of this meeting is to present and discuss new research ideas and results in Geometric Processing. In this emerging area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for the acquisition, manipulation, animation and transmission of complex 3D models. Applications of geometry processing algorithms cover a wide range of areas from multimedia and entertainment, to bio-medical computing, reverse engineering, and to classical computer-aided design. This symposium follows the highly successful 1st Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing, which took place in 2003 in Aachen, Germany. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH. We are inviting submissions related, but not limited to, the following topics in geometry processing: - geometry and topology representations - compression - surface and volume parameterization - approximation - reverse engineering - simplification - smoothing and denoising - level of detail - multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis - animation - morphing - transmission - geometric aspects of rendering - interactive techniques Important Dates: Electronic abstract submission deadline: April 7, 2004 Electronic paper submission deadline: April 14, 2004 Author notification: May 14, 2004 Camera-ready copy deadline: May 31, 2004 Symposium: July 8-10, 2004 Submission procedure: NOTE: ALL SUBMISSIONS ARE ELECTRONIC. Authors are requested to submit an abstract for their paper (in plain text format, no more than 250 words) by April 7, 2004. Title, abstract and contact information (names and institutions of all authors, contact information of one contact author - name, e-mail, postal address, phone and fax numbers) must be submitted by way of the Electronic Submission system. Instructions for electronic submission of papers are posted on the conference web site: http://www.geometryprocessing.org
