First CALL FOR PAPERS
(see attached flyer)

3rd International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC07)
Harrah's Hotel and Casino
Lake Tahoe, Nevada/California
November 26-28, 2007
http://www.isvc.net


The purpose of the International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC)
is to provide a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and
practitioners throughout the world to present their latest research
findings, ideas, developments and applications in the broader area of
visual computing. This is the third in the series of symposia following
two very successful meetings in 2005 (http://www.isvc.net/05) and 2006
(http://www.isvc.net/06) respectively.

ISVC07 will consist of invited and contributed presentations dealing with
all aspects of visual computing. In addition to the main technical
program, the symposium will include several keynote speakers, posters
sessions, and special tracks. All papers accepted will appear in the
symposium proceedings which will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (pending approval).

**Topics

ISCV seeks papers describing contributions to the state of the art and
state of the practice in the field of visual computing. The symposium is
structured around the four central areas of visual computing: (1) computer
vision, (2) computer graphics, (3) virtual reality, and (4) visualization.
In particular, we are interested in papers that combine technologies from
two or more of these areas.

**Paper Submission
Papers submitted to ISVC 2007 must not have been previously published and
must not be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A
complete paper should be submitted in camera-ready format. See
http://www.isvc.net for details. Papers will be reviewed with an emphasis
on potential to contribute to the  state of the art in the field. Each
paper will receive at least two blind reviews and should not contain
names or other information revealing authors' identity. Selection criteria
include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of
results, and presentation quality. In submitting a paper the author(s)
agree that, upon acceptance, they will prepare the final manuscript in
time for inclusion into the proceedings and will present the paper at the
symposium.
