AIMS AND SCOPE

Synthesizing  realistic  natural  scenes is a challenging  and
important  problem in  computer graphics.  The challenge stems
not only from  the  complexity  and  diversity of  objects and
natural  phenomena  interacting  together,  but also  from the
huge amount of small details that  should be modeled to obtain
realistic models and physically plausible simulations.
Therefore,  there is still a need for interactive modeling and
simulation techniques  capable for handling  complex synthetic
sceneries.  The purpose  of this workshop is  to explore novel
techniques for modeling,  animating,  simulating and rendering
complex natural phenomena.

The workshop will build on work done in recent years including
simulating aging  and  weathering of synthetic objects,  plant
modeling,  ecosystem simulation,  gaseous phenomena and liquid
flows. It will focus on non-conscious or inanimate nature like
rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part
of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as
it is, is still far from complete.

Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these
or related areas. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

 * Plant structure modeling
 * Ecosystem simulation
 * Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog, ...)
 * Simulating liquid flows and rain
 * Modeling fire and smoke
 * Aging and weathering
 * Terrain modeling


WORKSHOP FORMAT

The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics 2007
Conference (September 4, Prague, Czech Republic)  to encourage
a broad range of participants. As such, it will provide a very
interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend or
present  communications  at both events.  The workshop will be
held  in one day,  including  paper  presentation  and invited
sessions.  Participation  is open  to everyone,  not requiring
submission of a paper.

Post-workshop proceedings  will be available  on-line  through
the Eurographics Digital Library and in paper book form in the
Eurographics Book Series.
