John" Subject: [EG general] 13th Eurographics Workshop on Rendering CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 13th Eurographics Workshop on Rendering Pisa, Italy, June 26-28, 2002 Visual Computing Group (CNR-PISA) egrw02@iei.pi.cnr.it http://vcg.iei.pi.cnr.it/egrw02.htm Aims and Scope: Following twelve successful workshops in the last twelve years, the 13th Eurographics Workshop on Rendering will take place in Pisa, Italy. It is organised by the Visual Computing Group, part of the Information Technology CNR Institute, in association with Eurographics, in the context of the Eurographics Working Group on Rendering Activities. The workshop is well established as a major international forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences in the area of rendering algorithms and techniques. Topics: Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas: - Local illumination and reflection models and methods (including BRDF measurement) - Global illumination methods (Monte Carlo, finite element techniques) - Sampling, filtering, and anti-aliasing - Visibility algorithms - Human perception and error measures - Texture models, analysis, and synthesis - Non-polygonal rendering (Point-based, image-based) - Systems and software architectures for rendering - New rendering hardware and new uses of existing hardware - Experimental or practice-and-experience comparative studies of existing methods - Rendering solutions for virtual/augmented reality and interactive systems - Inverse rendering and computer vision related algorithms - Real-time rendering - Non-photorealistic rendering Research and development driven by real-world applications are encouraged. A short paper category (6 page limit) is available in addition to full papers (12 page limits). The category of submitted papers will be decided based on the reviewing results, but authors may submit papers specifically to the short paper category. As has been the tradition in previous workshops, the presentation format will allow for ample discussion time. The number of participants will be limited to 100. Internationally known speakers will give invited lectures. In addition to both short and full papers, this year authors may also submit posters containing preliminary results or speculative ideas. These posters will be peer-reviewed and will be appear at the workshop, but will not be printed in the final ACM Press workshop proceedings. Important Dates in the Year 2002 are: Wednesday, March 27 Electronic abstract submission deadline Friday, March 29 Electronic paper/poster submission deadline Monday, April 1 Submission deadline for videos Monday, May 13 Author notification Saturday, June 1 Camera-ready copy deadline June 26 - 28 Workshop Submission Procedure: NOTE: ALL SUBMISSIONS THIS YEAR ARE ELECTRONIC. Authors are requested to submit (via email) an abstract for their paper or poster by Wednesday March 27th 2002 to the following address: egwr02@cs.man.ac.uk Authors will then receive further information by email regarding the electronic submission of their papers and posters (in PDF or Postscript format) to the workshop ftp site. Authors experiencing problems with electronic submission of contributions should contact the program co-chairs directly. The abstract submission email should contain the names and institutions of all authors, contact information of one contact author (name, e-mail, postal address, phone and fax numbers), and the (not necessarily final) title and abstract of the submission. Courier-service mail will be used only for those submissions that the co-chairs find unusable, and for videos accompanying papers. In the latter case, one paper copy of the paper should be sent along with five copies of the accompanying videotape or CD-ROM to one of the two program co-chairs. In the case of videotapes an effort should be made to include the segment in both PAL and NTSC on the same VHS tape, to ensure that it can be seen by all reviewers. An authors toolkit including LaTeX and MS Word style files is available from the conference Web page. Submissions missing the deadline will be considered with reduced priority, to the extent practical within the short review cycle.
