         CALL FOR VIDEO AND MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATIONS

    16th Annual Video/Multimedia Review of Computational Geometry

Important Dates

 * February 15, 2007: Video and multimedia submissions due
 * March 1, 2007: Notification for video/multimedia submissions
 * March 15, 2007: Camera-ready video/multimedia abstracts due

Video and multimedia presentations are sought for the 16th Annual
Video and Multimedia Review of Computational Geometry.  This review
showcases the use of visualization in computational geometry for
exposition and education, for the visual exploration of geometry in
research, and as an interface and a debugging tool in software
development.  Algorithm animations, visual explanations of structural
theorems, descriptions of applications of computational geometry, and
demonstrations of software systems are all appropriate.  Videos that
accompany papers submitted to the technical program committee are
encouraged.

Three to five minutes is ideal for most animations and presentations
of applications; eight minutes is the upper limit.  Submissions of
videos in QuickTime MPEG-4 or DivX Version 5 or 6 are encouraged.  We
also encourage submission of Macromedia Flash, Java applets, and
limited forms of other multimedia.  These formats must come with a
script that will allow them to be distributed in both interactive and
canned QT or MPEG movie formats.  In case of doubt, please email the
Video and Multimedia Program chair.  Some suggestions on making videos
can be found at 
<http://www-sop.inria.fr/geometrica/team/Monique.Teillaud/SoCG07/video_suggestions.html>.

Accepted video and multimedia presentations will have an abstract in
the published conference proceedings and will be available online in
various formats in a web proceedings.  (The 2006 video proceedings are
available at <http://compgeom.poly.edu/acmvideos/socg06video/index.htm>.)


VIDEO/MULTIMEDIA SUBMISSION

We explicitly encourage the submission of multimedia or video
presentations that support submitted papers.  Submissions of papers and
accompanying presentations will be treated as separate submissions:
acceptance or rejection of one does not influence acceptance or
rejection of the other, and presentations supporting regular paper
submissions still need to be accompanied by a description of (at most)
two pages, as described below.

Video and multimedia presentations can also be submitted separately,
to arrive by February 15, 2007.

The author(s) should submit a one or two-page description of the
material shown in the presentation, and where applicable, the
techniques used in the implementation.  An email address of the
correspondence author and a URL or ftp address where the presentation
can be retrieved must be included.  Additional material describing the
contents of the presentations, such as the full text of accompanying
papers, may also be included.  The final descriptions must be formatted
according to the guidelines for ACM proceedings; LaTeX style files
will be provided to authors of accepted presentations.  Submissions
should be sent by e-mail to the Video/Multimedia committee chair at

 .  An acknowledgement of reception
will be sent within a few days.

Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection, and given
reviewers' comments by March 1, 2007.  For each accepted presentation,
the final version of the 2-page textual description will be due by
March 15, 2007 (electronically) for inclusion in the proceedings.
Final versions of accepted video/multimedia presentations will be due
April 20, 2006 in the best format available.
