GRAPP 2014

Conference name: 9th International Conference on Computer Graphics Theory and Applications- GRAPP 2014

Venue: Lisbon, Portugal

Event date: 5 - 8 January 2014

Scope: The International Conference on Computer Graphics Theory and Applications aims at becoming a major point of contact between researchers, engineers and practitioners in Computer Graphics. The conference will be structured along five main tracks, covering different aspects related to Computer Graphics, from Modelling to Rendering, including Animation, Interactive Environments and Social Agents in Computer Graphics. Conference Areas: Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas: 1. GEOMETRY AND MODELING 2. RENDERING 3. ANIMATION AND SIMULATION 4. INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENTS 5. SOCIAL AGENTS IN COMPUTER GRAPHICS
