ACM Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA '02)
> July 21-22, 2002, San Antonio, Texas (co-located with SIGGRAPH)
> http://sca2002.cs.brown.edu/ <http://sca2002.cs.brown.edu/> The goal of SCA
> '02 is to provide an opportunity for researchers in computer animation to
> interact with one another, share new results, and discuss emerging directions
> for the field. The symposium will be co-located with SIGGRAPH, held on the
> Sunday and Monday before the main conference to encourage a broad range of
> participants. A full proceedings will be published at the time of the
> Symposium. We hope that SCA will grow to become the preeminent forum for
> dissemination of the latest research results in computer animation. Topics
> include, but are not limited to:
> - autonomous characters
> - physically based animation
> - facial animation
> - real-time animation, animation for games
> - group and crowd behavior
> - expressive motion / communication
> - nonphotorealistic animation
> - physical realism / measuring the real world for animation
> - nature in motion (natural phenomena, plants, clouds...)
> - planning / learning / optimization for animation
> - intuitive interfaces for creating and editing animations
> - sound and speech for animation
> - perceptual metrics for animation
> - mathematical foundations of animation
> - new time-based art forms on the computer
Important dates
> Firm deadline for submissions -- March 25, 2002
> Notification to authors -- May 2, 2002
> Deadline for camera ready copy -- May 16, 2002 Papers (in Adobe PDF format)

> 21 Academy Awards for scientific, engineering and technical achievements. They
> include Pete Romano for the design and development of an underwater camera
> housing system, Tomlinson Holman for improvements in motion picture
> loudspeaker systems and Lance Williams for his "pioneering influence in the
> field of computer-generated animation and effects." The awards will be handed
> out in a dinner ceremony at the Regent Beverly Wilshire on March 2. The awards
> cover developments of "exceptional merit" in such areas as camera lenses,
> camera cranes, camera motors, digital film recorders and color film
> restoration.
