The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2008 will take place in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from June 23 to June 25, 2008. This is the 19th annual event in the series of very successful Eurographics Symposia on Rendering and Eurographics Workshops on Rendering.

The local organizers are Jasminka Hasic and Selma Rizvic from SSST. The program chairs are Steve Marschner and Michael Wimmer. Up-to-date information about the conference is available on the EGSR 2008 web site:
http://egsr2008.ssst.edu.ba

Conference topics include (but are not limited to):

- Global illumination
- Monte Carlo techniques
- Finite element techniques
- Volume scattering and translucency
- Reflectance and scattering models
- Human perception and error measures
- Sampling, filtering, and anti-aliasing
- Shadows and visibility
- Texture models, analysis, and synthesis
- Computational photography
- Non-photorealistic rendering
- Image-based measurement and rendering
- Sensing for graphics
- Point-based rendering
- New rendering hardware and new uses of existing hardware
- Real-time rendering and real-time ray tracing
- Systems and software architecture for rendering
- Virtual/augmented reality and interactive systems
- Rendering dynamic/animated environments

Starting this year, the proceedings of EGSR will be a special issue of the journal Computer Graphics Forum. This will improve the availability of EGSR papers and make them citable as journal articles. Because of this there will be a brief second review cycle for any papers that require changes to be accepted; such papers will only be accepted after the changes have been confirmed by the program committee.

All deadlines are 11:59 p.m., US Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4).

Abstract submission deadline: Friday, April 4
Paper submission deadline: Monday, April 7
Author notification: Thursday, May 8
Revisions due: Friday, May 16
Final PDF files due for printing: Monday, May 19
Symposium: June 23-25

The EGSR review and publication process is very short, and to achieve this quick turnaround all deadlines must be strictly observed. In particular, final PDF files for printing must be finished on time.
