From - Wed Apr 3 09:26:27 2002 Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 11:38:58 +0100 From: gibsons@cs.man.ac.uk (by way of Werner Purgathofer ) Subject: 13th Eurographics Workshop on Rendering FINAL 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. Invited Speakers: Dr. Doug Roble (Digital Domain) Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Seidel (Max-Planck-Institut fur Informatik) 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. 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 appear at the workshop, but will not be printed in the final ACM Press workshop proceedings. Authors may also enter a competition to produce a cover image for the preliminary proceedings distributed at the workshop. Details of the competition may be found on the workshop web site: http://vcg.iei.pi.cnr.it/pages_egrw/contest.htm Important Dates 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 (in ascii text format) 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. We strongly encourage authors to submit accompanying material (e.g. videos/animations) in electronic format, which can be uploaded to the workshop ftp site along with a paper submission. Alternatively, animations may be submitted on CD or video tape. In this case, five copies should be sent to one of the two program co-chairs. For video tapes, 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. Please note that in all cases, electronic submission is preferable, and your video can only be distributed with the workshop CD if it is submitted in electronic format. Please note that this year we have adopted LaTex as the typesetting standard. Since this year the proceedings of all EG workshops are being printed by ACM Press, a unified LaTex style ensures that all papers will comply with the standard ACM/EG layout. We are sorry for the inconvenience for those not expert with Latex, but we are confident that in this way the typographic quality of the Proceedings will be improved. Submissions missing the deadline will be considered with reduced priority, to the extent practical within the short review cycle.
