From - Wed Feb 12 09:41:56 2003 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 19:49:09 +0100 Subject: Fwd: EGSR2003 2nd Call for Participation SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2003 Leuven, Belgium, June 25-27, 2003 Computer Graphics Group at K.U. Leuven http://www.egsr2003.org The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2003 will be held in Leuven, Belgium, on June 25-27, 2003. Leuven is a pleasant old university town in Belgium, conveniently located only half an hour from Brussels Airport. This event is the successor to the highly successful Eurographics Workshops on Rendering held in the previous 13 years. Various reasons made a name-change appropriate, but the symposium will be similar to the past rendering workshops in format and content. The symposium is organized in the context of the Eurographics Working Group on Rendering Activities. The program co-chairs are Per Christensen and Daniel Cohen-Or. The local organizers are Philip Dutre, Frank Suykens, and other members of the Computer Graphics Group at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Invited speakers: - David Kirk, NVIDIA - Michael Carter & Rick Stringfellow, Aardman Animations 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) - Visibility algorithms - Human perception and error measures - Texture models, analysis, and synthesis - Sampling, filtering, and anti-aliasing - Non-polygonal rendering (point-based, image-based) - Non-photorealistic rendering - Inverse rendering and computer vision related algorithms - Systems and software architectures for rendering - New rendering hardware and new uses of existing hardware - Rendering solutions for virtual/augmented reality and interactive systems - Real-time rendering - Parallel rendering - Experimental or practice-and-experience comparative studies of existing methods Research and development driven by real-world applications is encouraged. We welcome short papers (max 6 pages) as well as full papers (max 12 pages). The category of submitted papers will be decided based on the reviewing results, but authors may submit papers specifically to the short paper category. The presentation format will allow for ample discussion time. The number of participants will be limited to 100. Important Dates: Electronic abstract submission deadline: April 2nd (Wed) Electronic paper submission deadline: April 4th (Fri) Submission deadline for videos: April 6th (Sun) Author notification: May 13th (Tue) Camera-ready copy deadline: June 1st (Sun) Symposium dates: June 25-27 (Wed-Fri) Submission Procedure: All submissions are electronic. Authors are requested to submit an abstract via email by Wednesday, April 2nd, 2003 to the following address: egsr03@tau.ac.il 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 paper. The papers deadline is Friday, April 4th, 2003. The papers should be in PDF or PostScript format. Further information regarding the electronic submission of papers can be found at the symposium web site, www.egsr2003.org. Authors experiencing problems with the electronic submission should contact the program co-chairs. An author's toolkit including LaTeX style files will be available from the symposium Web page. Submissions missing the deadline will be considered with reduced priority, to the extent practical within the short review cycle. In particular, the deadline this year coincides with notification from the Eurographics 2003 Conference. If an author wants to submit a relevant paper that was not accepted for EG03, the author should notify the co-chairs as soon as possible, revise the paper according to the EG03 reviews, and submit the revised paper along with an accurate summary of the reviews and changes. Courier-service mail will be used only for videos or CD-ROMs accompanying papers (and for papers that the co-chairs find unreadable). Please send five copies of the videotape or CD-ROM to one of the two program co-chairs, clearly labeled with the names of the authors and the paper title. 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.
