GRAPP 2012

Conference name: International Conference on Computer Graphics Theory and Applications (GRAPP)

Venue: Rome-Italy

Event Date: 24-26 February, 2012

Scope

The International Conference on Computer Graphics Theory and Applications aims at becoming a major point of contact between researchers, engineers and practitioners in Computer Graphics. The conference will be structured along five main tracks, covering different aspects related to Computer Graphics, from Modelling to Rendering, including Animation, Interactive Environments and Social Agents In Computer Graphics.

Conference Areas

Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas:

1. GEOMETRY AND MODELING 2. RENDERING 3. ANIMATION AND SIMULATION 4. INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENTS 5. SOCIAL AGENTS IN COMPUTER GRAPHICS

Keynote Speakers

GRAPP 2012 will have several invited keynote speakers, who are internationally recognized experts in their areas. Their names are not yet confirmed.

PUBLICATIONS All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI.

AWARDS Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.grapp.visigrapp.org/best_paper_awards.asp).
