The 2008 Symposium on Interactive Ray Tracing
Sponsored by Eurographics and Institute for Electrical and Electronics
Engineers
In cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH 2008
August 9-10, 2008
Los Angeles Convention Center
Los Angeles, CA
Call for Participation
------------------------
Over the past several years, the graphics community has renewed its
interest in ray tracing research, particularly real-time ray tracing.
We are pleased to announce the 2008 Symposium on Interactive Ray
Tracing. Following very successful events in 2006 and 2007, this
third symposium will provide a dedicated forum for presentation and
discussion of the latest developments in this highly active field of
research.
We invite original and innovative contributions in areas related to
interactive and real-time ray tracing, including (but not limited to):
- Efficient acceleration algorithms and data structures for ray
tracing
- Strategies for fast ray traversal and primitive intersection
- Ray tracing advanced primitives (e.g. point clouds, volumes)
- Ray tracing dynamic models
- Scalable parallel algorithms for ray tracing
- Ray tracing hardware
- Implementations of ray tracing on GPUs and novel hardware
architectures
- Ray tracing systems
- Sampling strategies, filtering techniques, and advanced
illumination methods
- Tools, benchmarks, and performance studies
- Applications of ray tracing as well as practice and experience
re****ts
We also invite the submission of posters describing current and
ongoing work in these areas.
Although the symposium primarily targets interactive techniques, we
encourage the submission of papers introducing techniques that are not
yet interactive but that may be applicable to interactive ray tracing
in the future.
In addition to the proceedings available at the symposium, all
accepted papers will be made available through the IEEE digital
library (pending agreement). Selected papers will also be invited for
extension and submission to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and
Computer Graphics (pending agreement).
Michael McCool and Eric Haines have graciously agreed to serve as
invited speakers at the conference.
The symposium, which will take place on August 9th and 10th, is co-
located with ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in
Los Angeles, California.
** Im****tant Deadlines **
Tue, May 6 - paper submission deadline
Wed, June 11 - acceptance notices
Sun, June 22 - camera ready papers due
Papers can be up to a maximum of eight (8) pages in length, including
full-color figures throughout. We encourage the use of digital video
to sup****t the submission, particularly if part or all of the work
covers interactive techniques.
