INVITATION ---------- In the last few years, Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling have become some of the most important and challenging areas of Computer Science. This workshop solicits high-quality papers for presentation describing original research results in Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling (see Topics below). All accepted papers will be published as full papers in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. In addition, all accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. The workshop is a part of ICCSA'03, the 2003 International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications to be held in Montreal, Canada, 18-21 May, 2003. This second CGGM workshop follows-up the highly successful CGGM'2002 held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The 35 contributions selected (published by Springer-Verlag LNCS, vol 2030) were presented during the three-days workshop. In addition, some papers were selected for a Special Issue of Elsevier's journal "Future Generation Computer Systems" devoted to Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling to appear in 2003. The conference language will be English. TOPICS ------ This workshop will cover the following aspects of computer graphics and modeling: Geometric Modeling Solid Modeling Physically Based Modeling Surface Reconstruction Volume Visualization Autonomous Agents Computer Animation Computer Graphics in Art, Education, Engineering, Entertainment and Medicine Rendering Techniques Multimedia Non Photo-Realistic Rendering Virtual Reality Virtual Environments Illumination Models Texture Models Computer Graphics and the Internet (VRML, Java, etc.) Artificial Intelligence for Computer Graphics Computer Graphics Software Computer Graphics Applications Computer Graphics Education Industrial Applications of Computer Graphics The conference language will be English. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- January 7, 2003: Draft papers due February 5, 2003: Notification of Acceptance February 20, 2003: Camera Ready Papers February 28, 2003: Pre-registration May 18-21, 2003: ICCSA 2003 Conference in Montreal PROCEEDINGS ----------- All accepted papers will be published as full papers by Springer-Verlag, Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and will be available for the delegates in printed form. In addition, all accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentation. Finally, an extended version of some papers of the workshop will be selected for publication in the "Special Issue on Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling" of the "International Journal of Image and Graphics" (World Scientific) to appear in 2004. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS -------------------- The Workshop offers prospective authors to send a full paper by e-mail. The papers should be sent to: iglesias@unican.es All submissions must be written in English. Send the paper as an attachment provided that the size of the message is reasonable (less than, let's say, 4 MB). Otherwise, please contact us before sending the paper. Acceptable formats are pdf and postscript (use extension .pdf or .ps, respectively). You can also send your paper by air mail to: Andrés Iglesias Dpt. of Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences University of Cantabria E.T.S.I. de Caminos, Canales y Puertos Avda. de los Castros, s/n Santander, E-39005, SPAIN However, we strongly recommend you to use the e-mail for paper submission. In addition to the paper, you must send a list of three possible referees for your paper, explaining why do you propose them. However, there is not guarantee that your paper will be reviewed for some of the proposed reviewers. This list is intended to assure that the review process is performed at due time. Therefore, the list will be used only if we are unable to find other reviewers for your paper. After receiving your submission, the paper will be reviewed taking into account: relevance significance of results, originality, technical accuracy, and readability and acceptance/rejection will be based on this review. If a paper is rejected you will be contacted and given the referee reports. It may well be that your paper is more suited to be submitted to another workshop or conference. Papers should be 6 to maximum 10 pages A4, formatted using the LNCS guidelines. The style files for the LNCS can be found at the following URL: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html The initial submission of the paper for peer review must be a full paper (6 to 10 pages), not an extended abstract. Your paper must (MUST!) be formatted according to the rules of the LNCS, in order to be accepted and published. This point will be checked very carefully.
