CALL FOR PAPERS

ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics

Symposium on COMPUTER ANIMATION (SCA)

July 26-27, 2003

San Diego, California

(co-located with SIGGRAPH)

http://gamma.cs.unc.edu/SCA03

SCA is an emerging eminent forum for dissemination of the latest research results in computer animation.  The goal of SCA'03 is to provide an opportunity for researchers in computer animation to interact with one another, share new results, and discuss emerging directions for the field.  The symposium will be co-located with SIGGRAPH, held on the Saturday and Sunday before the main conference to encourage a broad range of participants.  A full proceedings will be published at the time of the Symposium.   

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  - autonomous characters

  - physically based animation

  - facial animation

  - real-time animation, animation for games

  - group and crowd behavior

  - expressive motion / communication

  - nonphotorealistic animation

  - physical realism / measuring the real world for animation

  - nature in motion (natural phenomena, plants, clouds...)

  - planning / learning / optimization for animation

  - intuitive interfaces for creating and editing animations

  - sound and speech for animation

  - perceptual metrics for animation

  - mathematical foundations of animation

  - new time-based art forms on the computer  

Important Dates:        

Abstract are used to facilitate the review process and should be 150-300 words in length.  Original unpublished papers of (in PDF format) up to 12 pages in English, including figures, tables and references, are invited. All papers must be submitted electronically through the SCA web site to be considered for review.  (For instructions, see http://gamma.cs.unc.edu/SCA03.)  Supplementary material such as videos may also be submitted electronically and will be made available to reviewers.  All papers will be reviewed carefully by the International Program Committee members and by external reviewers.
