International Symposium on Volume Graphics September 2-3, 2007 The Czech Technical University, Prague, Czech Republic Web Page: http://vg.swan.ac.uk/vg07/ Volume graphics deals with the analysis, synthesis and presentation of volumetric objects, both static and time-varying. Specifically, it includes topics related to the acquisition, reconstruction and transformation of volume data as well as feature analysis, information extraction and rendering. Research papers are solicited that present original and unpublished results concerning all aspects of volume graphics. We especially invite research contributions that report computational techniques derived from existing knowledge in numerical analysis, signal processing and statistical modeling. Furthermore, papers are solicited which demonstrate the efficacy of the methods of volume graphics towards enhanced practices or understanding of specific applications in engineering, medicine and physical and biological sciences. This 6th occurrence of Volume Graphics has been changed from a Workshop to a Symposium and is again co-located with the Symposium on Point-Based Graphics 2007 as well as with the Eurographics 2007 Conference. The accepted papers will be published in IEEE/EG sponsored proceedings, and archived in electronic form in the Eurographics and IEEE online digital libraries. A selected number of submissions will be further considered for publication in a major journal in computer graphics and visualization.
