From: "Daniel A. Keim" Subject: Web3D 2001 CALL FOR PAPERS WEB3D 2001 Conference 6th International Conference on 3D Web Technology (Formerly known as VRMLxx) 19.-22. Feb. 2001, Paderborn, Germany http://www.c-lab.de/web3d The annual Web3D Symposium is a major event in the Web3D community. This conference unites researchers, developers, experimenters, content creators and others in a dynamic learning environment. Attendees share and explore methods of using, enhancing or creating new 3D web technology such as VRML, X3D, Java3D and MPEG-4. After the successful Web3D/VRML Symposia in San Diego (1995), Monterey (1997, 1998, 2000) and Paderborn (1999) the world's leading scientific/technological event in the field of Web3D will again be held in Europe.The duration of the conference is four days: the first two will consist of courses and workshops, and the second two days will feature peer-reviewed papers and panels. A variety of different events will be organized during the evenings. -------- VRML -- X3D -- Java3D -- MPEG-4 -- and more --------------- Papers ====== Web3D 2001 will accept papers in the following three categories: applications, research, and systems. All content must be innovative and meaningful to the advancement of 3D technologies on the web. An international program committee will review all submitted papers. Papers should be submitted in electronic form. Videos ====== Short video submissions complimenting a technical paper will be considered for the inclusion in a tape loop. The video will run in the Web3D 2001 lobby. Panels ====== Ideally, panels should address current issues in the Web3D community. Panels should present topics of interest to the audience; have informed, opinionated, controversial speakers; and feature focused, structured discussions. Workshops and Courses ===================== Web3D 2001 is accepting applications for workshops and courses providing instruction exposure to techniques and uses of Web3D technologies. Web3D RoundUp ============= No true Web3D event is complete without the legendary Web3D RoundUp! Each presenter must give their demonstration within a five-minute period. The audience has the ability to judge the presentation and control its duration. Exhibition ========== There will be an exhibition at Web3D 2001. Similar conditions apply as in previous conferences. New products, innovative tools and other high-performance Web3D technology are sought for display.
