-----------------------------------------------------------------------

   ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics Symposium on COMPUTER ANIMATION (SCA'03)

                             July 26-27, 2003
                            San Diego, California
                          (co-located with SIGGRAPH)

                       http://gamma.cs.unc.edu/SCA03

SCA is an emerging eminent forum for dissemination of the latest 
research results in computer animation.  The goal of SCA'03 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 Saturday and Sunday before the main conference 
to encourage a broad range of participants.  A full proceedings will 
be published at the time of the Symposium.  

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
