Call for Contributions - Tutorial Proposals
The goal of the tutorials at SIBGRAPI 2003 is to offer to the participants
an opportunity to acquire technical knowledge in the areas of Computer
Graphics and Image Processing, and/or applicability to other areas. Tutorial
proposals will be judged by:
-
their relevance for the SIBGRAPI 2003
-
the expected size of the audience and their potential to attract participants
to the Symposium
-
the validity, usefulness, and structure of the contents
-
their originality and
-
the qualification of the instructors in the topic.
Types of Tutorials
The tutorials may be elementary, advanced or state-of-the-art , and may
take 3 or 6 hours, regardless of the level.
- Hands-on Tutorials: In SIBGRAPI 2003 we would like to offer
two hands-on tutorials, one covering a basic topic on Computer Graphics
and other dedicated to an Image Processing basic subject. These tutorials,
should be tipically dedicated to Undergradute Computer Science students.
Some possible topics involve but are not limited to: CG introduction using
OpenGL, OpenGL advanced features, Web 3D using X3D, introduction to visualization,
etc. (CG) and PI introduction using Matlab, R, Mathematica, Maple, IDL,
ENVI, etc.; elements of Mathematics morphology, introduction to medical
images, etc. (PI). For these basic tutorials a laboratory with about thirty
PCs will be available at the Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas
e de Computação of São Paulo University at São
Carlos.
Elementary Tutorials: Tutorials in this category typically complement
the basic undergraduate curriculum in computer science and help to attract
students for graduate studies in CG & IP. The instructors should not
assume that the audience has basic knowledge in CG & IP. Elementary
tutorials should be presented and have handouts in Portuguese.
Advanced Tutorials: Tutorials in this category are targetted
to students, professionals and researchers in CG&IP that wish to know
advanced techniques to use in their work Instructors may assume that the
audience has basic notions of mathematics, numerical methods, programming,
etc., and about CG & IP. Advanced tutorials may be presented in Portuguese
or English, with handouts in either of the two languages.
State-of-the-art tutorials: This type of tutorial is new for
this year, and should cover recent developments in CG&PI that may have
great impact in the future of the area. Advanced tutorials may be presented
in Portuguese or English, with handouts in either of the two languages.
It may be useful to look at the tutorials presented in previous years:
2002,
2001,
2000
, 1999,
1998,
1997.
How to Submit
Tutorial proposals should be submitted by e-mail to Alejandro
C. Frery, in plain text or in attached compressed Postscript or PDF
files. Please, do not send Word documents.
The proposal should contain the following information:
- Title
Level (hands-on, elementary, advanced or state-of-the-art)
Duration (3 or 6 hours)
Abstract (half page)
Motivation, target audience, and interest for the CG&IP
community (up to 1 page)
Summary, presenting an itemized list of the topics to be presented
(up to 2 pages). For each topic, indicate the estimated duration, the basic
and most relevant literature, and its subtopics
Curriculum Vitae of the instructors, with full name, address,
e-mail, institution, education, publications, and experience in the topic
of the tutorial
Material to be distributed to the participants, such as survey
paper (recommended), slides, images, animations, books, etc. This material
is optional at the submission, but its inclusion is strongly recommended
as it allows a better assessment of the supporting material to be used
during the course. For hands-on tutorials, the software to be used should
be specified (licenses and installation are responsability of the
intructors). See below.
Presentation equipment required (for hands-on tutorials, specify
computers configuration needed).
The tutorial could be prepared either in English or Portuguese.
The complete submission should be received by 12nd May,
2003.
Incomplete or late submissions will not be considered. All submissions
will be promptly acknowledged.
Accepted tutorials will be announced by 1st June,
2003
Printed Material
Instructors of the tutorials selected for SIBGRAPI 2003 should prepare
written material to suport the lectures, in the form of a survey paper
(preferably) and/or handouts. This material will be reproduced in
black & white by SIBGRAPI and distributed to the participants of the
tutorial.
-
Survey paper is a paper having 15-30 pages, with an introduction,
a structured presentation of the topic, and conclusions indicating trends,
applications, and directions for future work.
Survey papers will be peer-reviewed and published in a special issue
of RITA (Revista de Informática
Teórica e Aplicada), a journal edited by the Informatics
Institute of UFRGS. See the information
for authors for instructions on how to format survey papers, including
LaTeX and Word styles.
Survey papers should be sent no later than 10th July,
2003 by e-mail to nedel@inf.ufrgs.br, in attached compressed
Postscript or PDF files.
-
Handout is a copy of the slides or transparencies used during the
presentation of the course at SIBGRAPI 2003. Handouts are optional if a
survey paper is prepared.
The authors should provide a file with 4 slides per page in landscape.
The pages should be numbered and contain the footer "SIBGRAPI 2003 Tutorial".
We recommend the use of font Times 14 pt, or bigger, for better legibility
of slides and notes.
Handouts should be sent no later than 10th July, 2003 by
e-mail to Luciana Porcher Nedel
in attached compressed Postscript or PDF files. Please, do not send Word
documents.
All printed material distributed to the participants of tutorials will
be available on the SIBGRAPI 2003 web site, as well as other material provided
by the instructors such as images, animations, and other texts.
Support to Instructors
A classroom for 60 students will be reserved for each course. Standard
presentation equipment (35 mm slide projector, overhead projector, video
player, screen, PC, data show) will be available upon request.
