Highlights
The International Conference on the Theory and Application of
Diagrams is an interdisciplinary conference series devoted to any
scientific field of enquiry related to diagrams. Diagrams prides itself
in attracting delegates from a diverse range of disciplines and has
emerged as the major international conference in the area. The 2008
edition will be the fifth in the series and will take place in
Herrsching, Germany, with previous events held in Stanford, Cambridge,
Callaway Gardens and Edinburgh. Gem Stapleton is the General Chair and
will be organising the event with Program Co-Chairs John Howse and John
Lee (University of Edinburgh) and Local Chair Mark Minas (Universitat
der Bundeswehr). For the first time, Diagrams will be co-located,
running with the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric
Computing and the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization. This
co-location should provide a stimulating environment which will attract
delegates from a variety of backgrounds.
This conference covers all aspects of visualization and issues
affecting successful visualizations. The conference has grown rapidly
over the years and has attracted participants from throughout the world.
Submissions are peer reviewed with an acceptance rate of ~50% making the
quality of the conference and its publications extremely high. The
papers from this conference will be published in a bound Proceedings
available from SPIE. Authors of the best papers in the conference will
have the option of having extended versions of their papers reviewed for
publication in the Journal of Electronic Imaging or a future
special issue of the Journal of Electronic Imaging focusing on
visualization.
GRAPP is co-organized by INSTICC - Institute for Systems and
Technologies of Information, Control and Communication, and Universidade
da Madeira. The Third International Conference on Computer Graphics
Theory and Applications (GRAPP) aims at becoming a major point of
contact between researchers, engineers and practitioners in Computer
Graphics. We have chosen Interactive Environments for Computer Graphics
as the main topic. Indeed, games and virtual environments currently
dominate both research and practice in our field. The conference will be
structured along four main tracks, covering different aspects related to
Computer Graphics, from Modeling to Rendering, including Animation and
Interactive Environments.
Computer Graphics and Imaging 2008
This conference is an international forum for researchers and
practitioners interested in the advances in, and applications
of, computer graphics and imaging. It is an opportunity to
present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in
these areas. All papers submitted to this conference will be
double blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will
be based primarily on originality and contribution.
The Eurographics Annual Conference is a leading international event
devoted to computer graphics and all related visual and interactive
domains.Authors are invited to submit original papers reporting research
contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications. Papers
are sought in all areas of Computer Graphics: rendering, modeling,
animation, interactive techniques, virtual reality, visualization, and
other relevant topic areas. Moreover, the 2008 edition will have a
special focus on the cross-fertilization between CG, computer vision and
human-computer interaction. Conference proceedings will be published in
the Computer Graphics Forum journal, volume 27(2).

IEEE
Pacific Visualization Symposium 2008
PacificVis 2008 is the first IEEE VGTC sponsored international
visualization symposium in the Asian-Pacific region, with the objective
to foster greater exchange between visualization researchers and
practitioners, and, in particular, to draw more researchers in the
Asian-Pacific region to enter this rapidly growing area of research. The
former name of PacificVis was APVIS (Asian-Pacific Symposium on
Information Visualization). This new venue has an expanded scope to
include all areas of visualization, and a sponsorship to allow us to
achieve a more wide-spread impact.
GT-VMT 2008 is the seventh workshop of a series that serves as a
forum for all researchers and practitioners interested in the use of
graph-based notation, techniques and tools for the specification,
modeling, validation, manipulation and verification of complex systems.
Due to the variety of languages and methods used in different domains,
the aim of the workshop is to promote engineering approaches that
starting from high-level specifications and robust formalizations allow
for the design and the implementation of such visual modeling
techniques, hence providing effective tool support at the semantic level
(e.g., for model analysis, transformation, and consistency management).
Contributions are welcome from communities working on popular visual
modeling notations like UML, Petri nets, Graph Transformation, Business
Process/Workflow Models. This year's workshop will have an additional
focus on visualization, simulation, and animation of models as means of
providing an intuitive representation of both their static semantics and
for the validation of model behavior.
While early work concentrated on diagrammatic representations of
logic as a more intuitive or revealing paper-based replacement for
textually represented logic, research in this area now mostly involves
notations specifically designed for computer implementation either as
computational models or interface languages. The purpose of this
workshop is to explore the current state of research at the intersection
of logic and visual languages. It will be held in conjunction with the
2007 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Computing, Co-Chaired by
Andrew Fish and John Howse together with Phil Cox (Dalhousie
University).
In Software Engineering today, diagrammatic languages like IDEF, UML
or ARIS are commonplace, and with the rise of model driven development
and domain specific languages, the use of such languages will become
even more widespread in the future. All in all, diagrams play an
important role in communication between engineers. This workshop will
bring together scientists and professionals interested in the layout of
diagrams and will create a stimulating environment to start discussions,
share knowledge and incite fertilization across disciplinary boundaries.
It will be held in conjunction with the 2007 IEEE Symposium on Visual
Languages and Computing, Co-Chaired by Andrew Fish together with
Alexander Knapp (University of Munich) and Harald Storrle (University of
Innsbruck). |
