Call for Papers

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.

Summary of Deadlines:
Paper Submission:
November 22, 2004 --- graphics-track papers
December 20, 2004 --- HCI-stream papers
Author Notification:     February 18, 2005
Final Papers Due: March 4, 2005
Poster Submission: March 29, 2005

How To Submit A Paper

All papers will be peer-reviewed, and if accepted, will be printed and published directly from their revised electronic form. PDF versions of all papers will also be archived on the GI web site.

Papers containing original and unpublished research results, formatted as they should appear in the final proceedings, should be submitted to the GI paper submission site by the papers deadlines given above. Parallel submissions to other venues will result in automatic disqualification of the paper. Submissions must be in the form of PDF files. We recommend that papers do not exceed 8 pages in the conference format; please see the web site for detailed formatting instructions and to obtain the author's kit, which includes style files for pdflatex and Word. In exceptional cases, traditional hardcopy submissions will be accepted; please contact one of the conference co-chairs.
