Second Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing
(SGP 2004)
in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH [approval pending]

Nice, France, July 8-10
http://www.geometryprocessing.org


Program Co-Chairs:
   Roberto Scopigno, ISTI-CNR, Italy
   Denis Zorin, NYU, USA

Organizing Co-Chairs:
   Pierre Alliez, INRIA, France
   Jean-Daniel Boissonnat, INRIA, France


The goal of this meeting is to present and discuss new research ideas
and results in Geometric Processing. In this emerging area, concepts
from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering are used
to design efficient algorithms for the acquisition, manipulation,
animation and transmission of complex 3D models.  Applications of
geometry processing algorithms cover a wide range of areas from
multimedia and entertainment, to bio-medical computing, reverse
engineering, and to classical computer-aided design.

This symposium follows the highly successful 1st Eurographics
Symposium on Geometry Processing, which took place in 2003 in Aachen,
Germany. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.

We are inviting submissions related, but not limited to, the following
topics in geometry processing:

- geometry and topology representations
- compression
- surface and volume parameterization
- approximation
- reverse engineering
- simplification
- smoothing and denoising
- level of detail
- multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis
- animation
- morphing
- transmission
- geometric aspects of rendering
- interactive techniques
