Dear Participant,

We would like to welcome you at GraphiCon'2011, a major international conference on Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Image and Video processing in Russia. Following well established traditions, the 21st event will be hosted by Lomonosov Moscow State University on September 26--30, 2011.

This year we have a great program consisting of scientific papers, carefully selected by International Program Committee for oral and poster presentations and young scientist school. The International Program Committee was formed of 64 members representing 11 countries all over the world. Being top experts in the respective areas, all of them have done a tremendous job reviewing on average 4 papers out of 81 submitted. We express thanks to the committee members, who served at considerable personal sacrifice and with impressive collective wisdom. The final decision was based on at least two reviews of each manuscript and ended up with 46 works selected for oral presentation. Also we have decided to organize a young scientist school, where 17 papers will be presented as posters.

Keeping traditions, this year GraphiCon has not only scientific, but also extensive educational program consisting of 2 full-day tutorials and workshops for both undergraduate and PhD students, researchers and engineers of various companies that are interested in computer graphics topics.

We would like to thank our sponsors, volunteers organized by CS MSU Graphics and Media Lab, and everyone who made this event happen.

We do hope you will enjoy the conference,

Maxim Mizotin, on behalf of GraphiCon'2011 Organizing Committee
