Second Workshop in Virtual Reality Interactions
and Physical Simulations (VRIPHYS '05)
Pisa, Italy    November 6  2005

_____________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION

The workshop is organized in cooperation with Eurographics
and the Italian Center of Excellence in ENDOscopic
Computer Aided Surgery (ENDOCAS).


We invite communications that describe innovative research
in the domains of dynamic simulations and physical interactions
in virtual reality. We also welcome papers showing on-going
research with promising results.


______________________________________________________________
TOPICS:

Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas:
- Collision detection  techniques
- Deformable objects  (e.g. biomechanical modeling of soft and hard
tissues)
- Physical standards for assessing deformable objects (e.g. performance
metrics
                                              & validation of medical
simulators )
- Natural phenomena modeling (hair, fluids, ...)
- Geometric algorithms for physical simulation
- Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces
- Physically based dynamics (  video games, medical simulators )



_______________________________________________________________
INFORMATION SUBMISSION:

Papers are allowed 6 to 10 pages and formatted according to the
EG publication guidelines for conference submission.
For double-blind reviewing, the anonymous submission version should
be used. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop
and appear in the proceedings.
