Welcome

  The Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences

in cooperation with

are jointly organizing the XVI International Conference on Computer Graphics and Applications Graphicon'2006. The conference will be held in Novosibirsk Akademgorodok, July 1-5, 2006.

GraphiCon is the largest international conference on Computer Graphics in Europe and Asia annually organized in Russian Federation. The first conference on Computer Graphics in the former USSR (actual predessesor of GraphiCon) took place in Novosibirsk in 1977 because of high level research in the area by Siberian scientists. After that, the GraphiCon conferences took place in Moscow (1991, 1992, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004), St.-Petersburg (1993, 1995, 1996), and Nizhni Novgorod (1994, 2001, 2002). It is pretty symbolic that the 15-th GraphiCon was held in Novosibirsk, actual place of birth of these computer graphics conferences.

The 16-th conference format will include Invited Talks, Contributed Talks, Poster Presentations, Tutorials and Panels, organized in the following tracks:

  • Paper Presentations,
  • STAR Reports,
  • Work in Progress Presentations,
  • Presentations of Industrial Applications,
  • Education in Graphics panels,
  • Students Contest.

And a special event:

The main topics of the conference include, but not restricted by, the following directions:

  • Geometry Modeling and processing
  •  Visualization techniques
  •  Volume rendering techniques
  • Global illumination and photorealistic image rendering techniques
  • Real-time graphics techniques and GPU performance tools
  • Image-based techniques
  • Multimedia applications and techniques
  • Image processing and computer vision
  • 3D reconstruction and acquisition
  • Animation and simulation of natural environment
  • Virtual and augmented reality
  • Tools and applications inspired by Cultural heritage
  • Applications of CG: CAD, GIS, and others
  • Computer graphics for mobile devices and commodity graphics
  • Graphics in computer games and movies
  • Computer graphics hardware and GPU applications
  • New APIs and shading languages

All the contributed papers will be carefully and anonymously reviewed by the members of International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published as the Conference Proceedings and distributed in printed and electronic form among the participants. Selected papers will also be published in special issues of the journals "Optoelectronics" (Alerton Press) and "Computer Graphics & Geometry". The best paper presentations at the professional and student levels, selected by the international jury, will be awarded prizes.

Official language of the conference is English. Submissions in Russian are acceptable with extended English abstract attached. Such contributions will be addressed to the domestic conference section(s).
