Preface
These proceedings contain the Short Papers for Eurographics 2006, the 27thConference of the European Association for Computer Graphics, held at the buildings of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna, Austria, between the 4thand the 8thof September 2006.
The EG Short Presentations were first introduced at Eurographics 1998 as a forum for presenting new ideas, late-breaking results and work in progress in a reduced length format. This year, authors present their work in a 10 minute talk at one of the four parallel short paper sessions and additionally as a poster at the Cheese & Wine reception, where the papers can be discussed in an informal atmosphere. The short papers are archived in the Eurographics Digital Library and are considered a peer reviewed publication.
We received a total of 104 submissions out of which 36 were chosen for publication after a thorough review process, where each paper was reviewed by at least two independent experts in the relevant ar- eas. A number of high-quality submissions could unfortunately not be included due to space and time limitations but we would like to thank all the authors for their valuable contribution to the program.
We would also like to express our gratitude to all the reviewers, the session chairs, and especially to Stefanie Behnke and the EG Support Team as well as the staff at TU Graz and TU Braunschweig for all their help during the submission and review process.
We hope that you will enjoy this year’s program and we look forward to seeing you all at the Recep- tion.
