The 20th Eurographics UK Conference will be taking place at De Montfort University, Leicester, Tuesday June 11th - Thursday June 13th 2002

This year the conference themes are Art & Design, and Technology. Focussing on:

  • Next generation web design and e-commerce
  • Digital Arts
  • Computer Animation and Games
  • Web Based Learning and design for Interactive TV and 3G phone systems
  • Virtual Heritage and Conservation
  • Novel display technologies including
  • 3D/2D displays and holographic presentations
  • 3D/2D image creation and processing
  • Next generation HCI

The conference aim is to focus on potential applications and research problems in these areas, and hopefully inspire further collaboration between academia and industry.

Call for Papers

The Programme Committee is seeking refereed papers and work-in-progress reports in all aspects of computer graphics and its applications. Papers related to the conference theme are of course particularly welcome. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • computer animation
  • computer-based art and entertainment
  • computational geometry
  • display technologies
  • fundamental algorithms
  • graphics application systems
  • graphics architectures and acceleration hardware,
  • fractal and natural phenomena
  • human computer interaction
  • image processing
  • Internet graphics and collaborative environments
  • medical imaging
  • modelling methods
  • rendering techniques
  • texture synthesis
  • scientific visualization
  • virtual reality and virtual environments
  • volume graphics
  • web graphics

Instructions to Authors

Two types of submissions are invited:

Refereed Papers. Full papers must be submitted, which will be refereed by members of the Programme Committee and appointed sub-referees. Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings, with a clear indication that they have passed through a full review process.

Work-in-Progress Papers. The Programme Committee also welcomes papers and extended abstracts that describe work in progress, rather than completed research. This is also an opportunity to present novel or controversial ideas, which perhaps are yet to be fully worked through. In the past, many young researchers benefited from such opportunities. Each submission will be reviewed by a small panel in the Programme Committee for its relevance to the field and suitability for conference presentation. Accepted full papers in this category will also be included the Conference Proceedings.

Prospective authors are invited to email full papers of their work in Postscript (ps) or PDF format by 25th January 2002, to Mark Jones,

Please include in each submission information indicating the contact author, the contact address and the submission category.


Publication

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

Authors are encouraged to submit colour images of diagrams and illustrations that are used in their paper. These images will be collated and included in an accompanying CD.

Camera ready copies, if paper is accepted, are required by 15th March 2002.


Young Researchers Forum

This is a special session that was introduced in the EGUK2000 conference, and it is designed for the young researcher to present the work proposed for and carried out within their research programme. We welcome submissions from any postgraduate researcher for whom there is a research element in their higher degree submission (viz. MA/MSc and PhD/DPhil students).

The format of submissions is the same as Work-in-Progress papers, but special considerations will be given to the nature of the postgraduate programme.

It is intended for this forum to provide a less formal platform where innovative ideas can easily be aired and discussed, and that the young researcher can gain valuable feedback from more experienced practitioners in the field.

Dr. Ken Brodlie (Leeds) will chair this forum in EGUK2002.


Best Paper Award

The Ken Brodlie Prize (worth £50 and a bottle of malt whisky) will be awarded to the author(s) of the best paper on the basis of both the written paper and its presentation.


The Terry Hewitt Prize for Best Research Student Paper

Following the introduction of this new prize at EGUK2000, the Terry Hewitt Prize will again be awarded to the best research student on the basis of both the written paper and its presentation. All papers submitted by Master students and Ph.D students will be eligible for this prize.
