Aims and Scope of the Symposium
-------------------------------

Following the success of previous EGPGV symposia, we are happy to announce the 8th Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization. The new generation of parallel architectures introduce many exciting research opportunities.   The extreme-scale of these new parallel systems redefines the scalability problem of many graphics and visualization applications. The aim of this symposium is to foster greater exchange of experiences and knowledge of parallel and distributed computing and its application to all aspects of computer graphics and data visualization.

Topics of interest include but not limited to:
- Cluster based graphics and visualization
- Efficient graphics and visualization for shared and
 distributed memory systems
- Parallel and distributed systems for large and high
 resolution displays
- Parallel and distributed systems for photo-realistic rendering
- Parallel volume rendering
- Data coherence in graphics algorithms
- Large data set visualization
- Realistic rendering of large models
- Large scale simulations and graphics rendering
- Graphics and visualization in Grid environments
- Parallel simulations for interactive applications
- Parallelism within GPU architectures
- GPU and GPGPU clusters
- Parallel graphics and visualization on multi-core CPUs
 and other parallel architectures

The EGPGV Symposium is co-located with the Eurographics Annual Conference, which will take place from April 14-18.
