        Third Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing
                 in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH

                  Vienna, Austria, July 4-6 2005

                http://www.geometryprocessing.org


Program Co-Chairs:
   Helmut Pottmann, Vienna University of Technology
   Mathieu Desbrun, California Institute of Technology

Organizing Chair:
   Werner Purgathofer, Vienna University of Technology

Now in its third year, the Symposium on Geometry Processing is the
premier venue for disseminating new research ideas and
cutting-edge results in Geometry Processing. In this emerging
area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and
engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for the
acquisition, reconstruction, manipulation, simulation and
transmission of complex 3D models. Applications of geometry
processing algorithms cover a wide range of areas from multimedia,
entertainment, and classical computer-aided design, to bio-medical
computing, reverse engineering, and scientific computing.

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

- geometry and topology representations
- compression of static or animated geometry
- surface and volume parameterization
- approximation and meshing
- reverse engineering
- simplification and level of detail
- smoothing and denoising
- computational geometry
- multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis
- geometric aspects of rendering and other fields
- interactive techniques
- animation and simulation

The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the
Eurographics Proceedings Series, in cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.
Note also that there will be three prestigious invited speakers:
  * Herbert Edelsbrunner, Duke University
  * Luis Velho, Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada
  * Marc Alexa, Technische Universität Darmstadt

Submission procedure:

Details of this all-electronic submission procedure are available on
the official SGP website: http://www.geometryprocessing.org

Authors are requested to submit an abstract for their paper (in
plain text format) by April 20, 2005.  The abstract submission
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 working title and abstract of the
submission.

Submitted manuscripts should be prepared for double-blind review,
and should be original work, not concurrently submitted to any other
venue. The length of a submitted papers should typically not exceed
10 pages, formatted in the proper publication style (LaTeX files
available online). A submission can also be accompanied by
electronic supplementary material (e.g, video).

Submitted papers will be carefully reviewed by members of the
Program Committee (see list online and on attached flier) and
selected external reviewers.

NEW THIS YEAR:

Papers with obvious potential but that did not make the cut may be
invited to present a poster during the symposium: these posters
will also be advertised through two-page descriptions, all
gathered in a separate proceedings document given to the symposium
participants.
