Graphics Interface 2005

Submission deadline approaching

Graphics Interface 2005 will take place in Victoria, British Columbia, May 9-11, 2005, in conjunction with the Computer and Robot Vision 2005 (CRV) and Artificial Intelligence 2005 (AI) conferences. GI2005 will be the 31st Graphics Interface conference and it is the oldest continuously scheduled conference in the field. This event consistently attracts high-quality papers on recent advances in interactive systems, human computer interaction, and graphics from around the world. All paper submissions are peer-reviewed as full-papers by two members of the program committee and at least three external reviewers, in a double-blind refereeing process. Accepted papers will be made available through the ACM Digital Library, in addition to the usual printed proceedings.

Graphics Interface 2005 will have joint sessions for the graphics and HCI tracks. There will be separate but coordinated sub-committees for these two tracks. New this year are separate deadline dates for the graphics and HCI tracks in order to better accomodate the SIGGRAPH and SIGCHI submission and review cycles. For papers where the topic makes it unclear which deadline applies, please contact the program chairs.

A single registration will permit attendees to attend any talk in the three conferences, which will be scheduled in parallel tracks. The conference will also include a banquet, and a posters/demos session.
