Therefore, there is no restriction about the paper contents, provided that the subject is computer graphics or any related area. The paper should clearly identify the computer graphics field of the paper in order to speed up the reviewing process. In addition, the paper should emphasize the problem to be solved, the procedure to do it, and the potential or actual applications of the paper. Survey papers can be accepted, on the basis that they provide an interesting new approach to some specific field or they include an organized, well-estructured review with a well-documented bibliography so that the paper can be useful for beginners. Finally, papers describing hardware and/or software systems for any computer graphics topics are also welcomed.

Therefore, the list will be used only if we are unable to find other reviewers for your paper. After receiving your submission, the paper will be reviewed taking into account: * relevance * significance of results, * originality, * technical accuracy, and * readability and acceptance/rejection will be based on this review. If a paper is rejected you will be contacted and given the referee reports. It may well be that your paper is more suited to be submitted to another workshop or conference. All accepted papers will be published as full papers by Springer-Verlag, Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and will be available for the delegates in printed form. In addition, all accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Papers should be 6 to maximum 10 pages A4, formatted using the LNCS guidelines.
