Encontro Portugues de Computacao Grafica Congreso Espanol de Informatica Grafica (CEIG 2002) Organized by ============ Eurographics Portuguese Chapter Eurographics Spanish Chapter Centro de Computacao Grafica, University of Minho In cooperation with =================== ACM/SIGGRAPH Brazilian Computer Society Invited Speakers ================ Eugene Fiume - Computer Science Dept, Univ. of Toronto (CA) Markus Gross - Computer Science Dept, ETH Zurich (CH) Gabriel Taubin - IBM T J Watson Research Labs, Yorktown Heights (US) Important Dates =============== 19 March 2002: Draft papers due 30 April 2002: Notification of Acceptance 07 May 2002: Short Presentations and Poster Proposals due 15 May 2002: Camera Ready Papers and Pre-registration due 2-5 July 2002: Conference This symposium is expected to be the first in a series of similar events organized every other year and alternating between Europe and South America. Its mission is to foster transatlantic co-operation through joint projects and the exchange of scholars, ideas and information between the Computer Graphics communities in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. It is expected that a workshop dedicated to issues concerning teaching and Computer Graphics Curricula will be a part of the conference. Theme ===== Computer Graphics, through the design, manipulation and processing of extremely varied types of pictographic data using computers, has provided a rich vision of innovative applications. As a scientific endeavor, it has fostered such diverse areas as multimedia, virtual environments, Tele-presence, user-friendly and interactive interfaces, simulations and the visualization of complex information. The new generation of Mobile Devices requires new interaction and visualization paradigms in order to present rich information in attractive formats. However, given the current bandwidth, device and technology limitations, presenting complex information and interacting effectively with small devices poses major challenges. Due to its experience with resource limitations versus realism trade-offs, the Interactive Graphics Community is in a privileged position to provide substantial contributions to the ever-changing world of tele-communications. Topics ====== This symposium replaces this year's annual events of the Spanish and Portuguese Chapters of Eurographics. We invite researchers, students, academicians and practicians to contribute Papers from all areas related to computer graphics, multimedia and hardware. In particular we are looking to novel applications, algorithms and the human aspects of interaction with graphics, as well as artistic viewpoints and mobile computing. In support of the overall conference theme, three sub-themes have been selected as being of particular interest. Authors are invited to submit contributions addressing one or more of the following (non-exhaustive) list of major areas/topics: - Mobile Computing and Information Visualization - Augmented Reality - Computer Games - Multi-modal Interfaces - Virtual Environments - Geometric Modeling - Computer Graphics and Networks - Rendering - Visualization About the Venue =============== Guimaraes, located in the Minho region, north of Portugal, referred as the "birthplace of the Portuguese nationality", is an obligatory reference for all visitors. Its historic, artistic and monumental treasures (its downtown has been recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage), creates an unique opportunity for an unforgettable visit. Paper Submission ================ Submissions are invited as either a full paper of 6 to 10 pages (A4 paper) for oral presentation or as a short paper of 2 to 4 pages (A4 paper) for poster presentation. The papers must be written in English, although presentations can be delivered in Portuguese, Spanish or English. The program committee, composed of internationally renowned experts, will review the submissions. A revised selection of the best papers will be published in a special issue of the Computers and Graphics Journal. The conference proceedings will be published on-line, as well as book and CD-ROM formats. Please submit your paper electronically as a MIME-compliant attachment to an email message sent to Please contact the organizers if your submission exceeds 10Mb in size. Each submission should include a cover page listing the following information: Name, affiliation, address and e-mail address of each author; Name of the presenting author; Name of the contact author and up to five keywords. The submitted paper should be formatted according to the rules/guidelines posted at http://virtual.inesc.pt/art/template.pdf Latex and Word templates are also available through the URLs http://virtual.inesc.pt/art/template.doc http://virtual.inesc.pt/art/template_latex.zip Papers must be submitted electronically in either PDF or Postscript formats (only electronic submissions will be acceptable). Please contact the conference secretariat below if you experience problems with electronic submission. N.B. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and to present the communication at the conference if it is accepted.
