SIGGRAPH Asia 2008: Call for Participation
ACM SIGGRAPH invites you to contribute to the first annual SIGGRAPH Asia conference which will be held in Singapore from 10 to 13 December 2008. SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 seeks your participation as presenters and contributors for the following programmes:
TECHNICAL PAPERS
(http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/papers/index.php)
The SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Technical Papers Programme will continue the tradition of excellence in computer graphics and interactive techniques that SIGGRAPH is known for and extend this world-class experience to Asia. We invite submissions of high-quality papers that will set the standard in the field and stimulate future trends. Accepted papers will be presented at SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 and published as a special issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics.
The deadline for submission to the SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Technical Papers Programme is 28 May 2008. Find out more about the submission requirements on our website (http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/papers/instructions.php) and submit your work(s) now.
ART GALLERY
(http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/edu/rules.php)
The Art Gallery welcomes submissions of printed, interactive, and networked digital art in 2D, 3D, and 4D. The programme is especially (but not exclusively) encouraging artists to submit works that deal with transformations, fusions, intersections, and paradigm shifts from Asia. The Art Gallery will facilitate an encounter with, and exchange between, different fields to showcase "hybrid" works such as space art in zero gravity, text-literature visualisation, and ubiquitous sounds.
The deadline for submission to the SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Art Gallery is 20 June 2008. Submit your work(s) now.
COMPUTER ANIMATION FESTIVAL
(http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/art/index.php)
The Computer Animation Festival includes two main components:
1. The official Competition Programme, which is a juried selection of "the best of the best" amazing works that provide insight on current international trends in computer-generated animation.
2. A special Curated Programme will showcase remarkable films, from classics to experimental explorations of the latest technologies. This special programme of short subjects and features presents an intriguing collection of world-renowned animated works. Professionals, artists, filmmakers, and researchers from throughout the world are invited to participate.
Information about the submission requirements is available on the website (http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/caf/rules.php) and submit your work(s) for the Competition Programme by 20 June 2008.
COURSES
(http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/courses/index.php)
The Courses Programme welcomes submissions that cover state-of-the-art techniques in computer graphics and interactive interfaces including (but not limited to) animation, computer-human interactivity, post-production, entertainment, gaming, rendering, scientific visualisation, virtual reality and programming hackery. We also welcome reports on recent industrial advances and tutorials on skills and techniques for artists.
Information about the submission requirements is available on the website (http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/courses/rules.php). Submit your course proposal by 19 May 2008.
EDUCATORS PROGRAMME
(http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/edu/index.php)
The aim of the Educators Programme is to create an environment that supports innovation in the instruction of computer graphics and digital art. Support the evolving integration of art and technology as embraced by educators of all levels from early learning through higher education and industry in all sub-disciplines of the field. Share ideas concerning educational strategies as adopted in both industry and academia and help make learning a more satisfying, productive, and meaningful process.
The deadline for submission to the SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Educators Programme is 6 June 2008. Take note of the submission requirements (http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/edu/rules.php) and visit the submission website now for your proposal.
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
(http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/etech/index.php)
This programme seeks creative and innovative projects in the fields of virtual and mixed reality, haptic interfaces, ubiquitous systems, digital tools, HD displays, robotics, and any other applications of new, exciting, and amazing technologies.
The deadline for submission to the SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Emerging Technologies is 20 June 2008. Find more information on how you can submit your work(s) (http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/etech/rules.php).

It encompasses ideas ranging from speculation to academic research, from industrial development and practical tools to behind-the-scenes explanations of commercial and artistic work. Whether you are toying with fuzzy what-if ideas, developing new techniques, or using existing ones in novel ways, we want to hear from you! Be a part of this exciting exchange of ideas and techniques!
Information about the submission requirements is available online (http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/presenters/sp/rules.php). Submit your work to the SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Sketches & Posters Programme by 12 July 2008.
