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.
We welcome papers describing original work in any of the areas listed below. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques as well as general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Paper acceptance will be based on quality, relevance to the conference themes and originality. The conference program will include both oral and poster presentations.
Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as well as technical tutorials, dedicated to technical/scientific topics, are also envisaged. Companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in lecturing a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat.

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:

All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book.
A selection of best papers will be published in the Journal of Virtual Reality and Broadcasting.
The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI.

In Portugal, at the marvelous Algarve, you may find the best place to stay, the Tivoli Victoria Hotel Vilamoura.
Overlooking one of Europe's best golf courses, this elegant resort is just a short drive from Vilamoura's marina and impresses with its countless leisure facilities. The Tivoli Victoria, is an impressive hotel located in the upmarket beach resort of Vilamoura. One of its main selling points is the panoramic view over the fairways of the new Victoria golf course, designed by the legendary golfer and architect Arnold Palmer and also known as one of the best courses in Europe.
This luxury hotel in Vilamoura offers excellent facilities and quality service ensuring guests a memorable stay in Portugal.
