Graphics Interface 2002 www.graphicsinterface.org May 27-29, 2002 Call for Papers Calgary, Alberta, Canada --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Graphics Interface 2002 (GI) will be held at the University of Calgary on May 27-29, 2002, in conjunction with the Vision Interface 2002 (VI) and Artificial Intelligence 2002 (AI) conferences. Graphics Interface is the oldest continuously scheduled computer graphics conference. This event consistently attracts high-quality papers on recent advances in computer graphics, interactive systems, and human computer interaction topics from around the world. GI 2002 will be the 28th Graphics Interface conference. A single registration will permit attendees to attend any talk from the three conferences, which will be scheduled in three parallel tracks. The conference will also include a banquet, a video show (for which both research and artistic submissions are requested), a posters and demos session, a bus trip to Banff (including a visit to the Banff Arts Centre) on May 26th, and three invited speakers. Calgary, besides being close to the beautiful mountain area around Banff, also has excellent museums (including world-famous fossil exhibits at the Calgary Science Centre) and an international airport.
