Track Description

The Workshop has the purpose of bringing together recent studies, proposals and reviews related to improving data/information presentation, visualization and interaction for engineering projects. Constant improvements and advances in visualization/interface technologies make it possible to view large data structures in real time on a wide range of platforms, such as, mobile computers, smartphones and traditional computers. The current session scope includes, but is not limited to, new approaches to CAVE systems, 3D Stereoscopic Display, Collaborative Visualization for decision support, Cloud Render, Render Streaming, Outdoor/Indoor Augmented Reality, Project Clash Detection, Project Visualization associated with Management methodologies, Visual/Graphic Information Management and Distribution, Interface Design and Visualization, Tangible/Haptic Interfaces.

Session Scope:

• Engineering data general visualization

• Collaborative Visualization Systems

• Information visualization management and optimization

• Visualization interaction interfaces (tangible/haptic)

• Augmented/Virtual Reality for Engineering

• Mobile Visualization for Engineering

• Review on Visualization/Engineering subjects

• Rendering systems for high quality/performance visualization

• Visualization performance validation and simulation for projects

Each extended abstract or full draft paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee taking into consideration scientific quality, originality and relevance. Only original papers, written in English will be accepted.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper should be prepared by following the final paper formatting. However any type of paper formatting can be accepted for the first submission.

NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE

Notification of acceptance will be sent by June 15, 2012.

CAMERA READY PAPER SUBMISSION

The International Program Committee will accept two types of camera ready papers: extended paper (10 pages, 2 columns); regular paper (6 pages, 2 columns) both for regular and special sessions.

The camera ready paper must adhere to the conference template. The .dot file contains the complete instructions for preparing a camera ready copy for the Proceedings. The final version of the paper must be a PDF file.

Your camera ready paper (extended paper or regular paper) in PDF format must be submitted by using the submission section before the July 15, 2012

The page limit for manuscripts is ten (10) pages (included in the author registration fee). Additional pages will require an additional fee.

If your work must be cleared or approved before publication by your institution, company, or governmental agency, please be sure that process will be completed by the due date above or we will not be able to include it in the CD Conference Proceedings.
