CALL FOR PAPERS

COMPUTER GRAPHICS INTERNATIONAL CGI 2020, Geneva, Switzerland, 22-25 June, 2020

Computer Graphics International (CGI) 2020 will be held in Geneva, Switzerland on June 22-25, 2020. CGI is one of the oldest annual international conferences on Computer Graphics in the world. Researchers across the whole world are invited to share their experiences and novel achievements in various fields – as Computer Graphics and Human-Computer Interaction. Former CGI conferences have been held in Yokohama, Japan, Heraklion, Greece, Strasbourg, France, Sydney, Australia, Bintan, Indonesia and Calgary, Canada. This year, CGI is organized by MIRALab, University of Geneva, Switzerland together with the Computer Graphics Society (CGS).

Geneva is Switzerland’s second largest city, known as the City of Peace, and is home, among other things, to the European headquarters of UN, CERN and many museums.
The conference will be held at the beautiful campus of Biotech (https://www.campusbiotech.ch/en/).

CALL FOR VISUAL COMPUTER JOURNAL PAPERS  

The scientific program of the conference will include accepted papers from the first call for papers and these accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Visual Computer Journal (impact factor 1.45).

The accepted papers from the second call for papers will be included in the CGI conference proceedings published by LNCS, Springer.

Note that for both call for papers, the review process is double blind, which requires the paper and all supplemental materials to be anonymous. Ensure that self-referencing is anonymous (refer to your full name rather than “I” or “we”). Avoid providing information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgements (e.g. co-workers and grant IDs) and in the supplemental material (e.g. titles in the movies, or attached papers). Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines will lead to rejection without review.

We invite original contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in topics related to:

• Rendering Techniques
• Geometric Computing
• Virtual and Augmented Reality
• Shape and Surface Modeling
• Physically Based Modeling
• Computer Vision for Computer Graphics
• Scientific Visualization
• Data Compression for Graphics
• Medical Imaging
• Computation Geometry
• Image Based Rendering
• Computational Photography
• Computer Animation

CALL FOR PAPERS

Computer Animation and Social Agents (CASA 2020), Bournemouth, UK, July 1-3, 2020

http://casa2020.bournemouth.ac.uk

The 33rd International Conference on Computer Animation and Social Agents (CASA 2020), that will be held on July 1-3, 2020 in Bournemouth, UK. The conference is organized by Bournemouth University together with the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). CASA is the oldest international conference in computer animation and social agents in the world. It was founded in Geneva in 1988 under the name of Computer Animation (CA). In the last past ten years, CASA was held in Belgium (2007), Korea (2008), Netherlands (2009), France (2010), China (2011), Singapore (2012), Turkey (2013), United States (2014), Singapore (2015), Switzerland (2016), Korea (2017), China (2018) and France (2019).

CASA 2020 will provide a great opportunity to interact with leading experts, share your own work, and educate yourself through exposure to the research of your peers from around the world.
