7th Eurographics "Symposium on Geometry Processing"
        
                Berlin, July 15-17, 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS
   The Symposium on Geometry Processing is the premier venue for
   disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in
   computerized processing of geometric models. In this emerging
   area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science,
   and engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for
   acquisition, reconstruction, manipulation, simulation and
   transmission of complex 3D models.

   We invite submissions related to, but not limited to, the
   following topics in geometry processing:

   * geometry and topology representations
   * compression of static or animated geometry
   * surface and volume parameterization
   * approximation and meshing
   * reverse engineering
   * robust geometric computing
   * simplification and level of detail
   * smoothing and denoising
   * multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis
   * geometric aspects of rendering and other fields
   * interactive techniques
   * animation and simulation

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
   (http://sgp09.mi.fu-berlin.de/submission.html)

   Authors are requested to submit an abstract of their paper
   (in plain text format) by April 22, 2009. The abstract should
   contain the names and institutions of all the authors, contact
   information of one contact author (name, e-mail, postal address,
   phone and fax numbers), and the working title and abstract of
   the submission.

   Submitted manuscripts should be prepared for double-blind
   review and formatted according to the EG publication style.
   The contents must be original work; manuscripts that are under
   consideration for another venue will be rejected without
   review. The length of the paper should be commensurate with
   its contribution, usually 10 pages or less. A submission
   can be accompanied by electronic supplementary material
   (e.g. images, video, demo).

   Submitted papers will be carefully reviewed by members of the
   Program Committee and selected external reviewers.


PROCEEDINGS
   The SGP proceedings will appear as a regular issue of
   Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the
   EUROGRAPHICS Association. The journal status of the proceedings
   requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance
   after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised
   submissions.


POSTERS SESSION:
   A poster session will provide an additional informative look
   into ongoing research. Submissions with high potential but
   which have not been accepted as papers will be invited to
   be presented in a poster session during the symposium.
