Technical program |
The 8-th International Conference
|
Technical Program will consist of plenary sessions including keynote speeches by invited speakers, technical sessions featuring papers, panels and round tables, lectures and tutorials.
Suggested key topics include (but are not limited to):
| Real Time Graphics Multimedia Computer Animation Virtual Worlds Physically Based Modeling Virtual Reality Avatars and Virtual Humans in VR Realtime physics-based models Games and Entertainment Applications of VR Augmented Reality Scientific Visualization |
Rendering Techniques Geometric and Solid Modeling Computational Geometry Volume Visualization Data Compression Geographic information systems Computer Vision 3D Modelling from Camera Views Computer Graphics and the Internet (VRML, Java, etc.) Digital libraries |
Papers: Papers on all aspects of computer graphics are encouraged. We are interested in papers that present results of new research, discuss the implementation and use of systems, or describe novel applications of computer graphics techniques. Normally, papers must fit into eight pages of the printed Conference Proceedings. In addition, short papers of up to two pages for ideas that can be communicated briefly are also invited. Some work can be communicated much more effectively in video than in print. Papers on video may be no longer than 15 minutes. They must be submitted with a two-page summary for publication in the Conference Proceedings.
Posters/Sketches: Work in progress may be submitted for presentation in poster/sketch form. Submit a cover page and a one-page description of the work.
Courses: The first two days of the conference will be devoted to experiencing and learning about the varied topical areas that constitute the disciplines of computer graphics and computer vision. Two courses - Computer Graphics and Computer Vision - will be given in parallel. Each of the courses will be composed of eight lectures (four half-day tutorials). Suggested topics are those mentioned above as the key topics of Technical Program. The courses are joinly arranged by Technical and Educators Programs. Educational aspects of the courses are pointed out below in Educators program section.
Electronic submission of proposals is encouraged. The cover page of
the proposal should include a title, a course (Computer Graphics or Computer
Vision), length (two-hours lecture or half-day tutorial), author's name(s),
title, affiliation, complete mailing address, phone number, fax number,
e-mail address. The proposal must also include a description of the lecture/tutorial
(two page maximum). Guidelines that have to be followed by the authors
can also be found on the WWW page at:
http://www.keldysh.ru/gc98
Panels: Panels addressing topics relevant to the theme of the
conference are invited. Proposals should follow the directions for a paper
but state clearly that it is a panel session. Panel sessions of two hours
duration will consist of several presentations and a discussion. Panel
proposers should include the names and affiliations of as many panel participants
as possible. Panel proposals should describe the topics to be debated and
identify the prospective panellists. Panels should be organised such that
to encourage audience participation. Each panellist should include a position
of statements on the topics with a brief biography about her or himself.
These statements will be included in the conference proceedings.
PAPERS
Papers on all aspects of computer graphics and visualization are encouraged. These may include but are not limited to:
Research
Research papers present new algorithms, techniques, or hardware design.
Original papers may report research results, review new directions
or address the integration problems of the new media. The
presentation must be sufficiently complete that a competent graduate student
in computer graphics could implement the work from the paper and the references.
Systems
Systems papers present a blend of algorithms, technical requirements,
user requirements, and design that solves a large-scale problem. The problems
anticipated, encountered, and solved must be clearly stated and discussed.
The paper should show how the system is used. There should be clear comparisons
to previous systems already in use and a discussion of how the described
system is different or superior.
Applications
Applications papers present the use of computer graphics and visualization
techniques to solve problems. The emphasis of the paper should be on how
graphics and visualization techniques were used to produce effective results
in an application, rather than on the application-specific results.
Other
Pedagogical papers, technology transfer papers are appropiate too.
Authors should not feel compelled to force an innovative paper into one
of these categories above if it is not appropriate.
Paper formats are defined by length and type of presentation. The page length for each format, including illustarations, is specified below.
Regular papers
A regular paper must fit into eight pages of the proceedings. (One
page of the Proceedings corresponds to about four pages of double-spaced
12-point type.) Regular papers will be presented in 20- or 25-minute
talks at the conference.
Short papers
This format is designned for ideas that can be communicated briefly.
A short paper must fit into two pages of the proceedings. Short papers
have a presentation length of 10- or 15 minutes.
Sketches/Posters
Sketches are lively presentations of interesting new ideas, unique
collaborations, late-breaking results, works in progress, and novel applications
of computer graphics techniques and technology. In addition
to providing a forum for experienced presenters and researchers sketches
provide a prime opportunity for graduate students to present their work.
Sketches must fit into one page of the proceedings. Separate session will
be arranged for presentation of sketches/posters.
Video papers
Some work can be communicated much more effectively in video than in
print. Papers on video may be no longer than 15 minutes. They must be submitted
with a two-page summary for publication in the Conference Proceedings.
One-shot paper submission procedure for GC'98 has been approved. There will be only one full-paper submission, due 5/21/98. The proposed paper will be the final paper published if accepted. That is, there will be no revisions on accepted papers. Submission of a paper proposal implies a commitment to present a paper, if accepted.
A paper should be aaccompanied by a one page cover sheet containing:
Please follow Formatting Guidlines.
Only black/white images are suitable for publication. Photographs: if not embedded in the text these should be clearly labeled with the corresponding figure number and title references: giving full details, including page numbers for cited articles.
Because of time limits, GraphiCon'98 encourages electronic submissions in electronic format. Acceptable formats are PostScript, Adobe Acrobat PDF, Word for Windows. Electronic submissions may be on floppy disk (PC only) or by e-mail (or ftp). Author's Kit may be inquired from gc98@spp.keldysh.ru
E-mail address gc98@spp.keldysh.ru may be also used for paper submission.
Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by June 1, 1998. Conference proceedings will be published to be available at the conference.
