polygonal-mesh connectivity information has led many leading researchers to question the future utility of polygons as the fundamental graphics primitive. On the other hand, modern 3D digital photography and 3D scanning systems acquire both geometry and appearance of complex, real-world objects. These techniques generate huge volumes of point samples, which constitute discrete building blocks of 3D object geometry and appearance—in as much as pixels are the digital elements for images. doi:10.1016/j.cag.2003.11.006

CGE04 EUROGRAPHICS/ACM SIGGRAPH Workshop on Computer Graphics Education June 2–5, 2004, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China http://www.cad.zju.edu.cn/cge04/ This joint Eurographics and ACM SIGGRAPH workshop seeks participants with ideas about developing computer graphics education. These participants will meet in Hangzhou, China, June 2–5, to share their experiences and their visions, and to provide fundamental recommendations and tools for computer graphics teachers. Participation will be based on acceptance of extended abstracts or draft papers addressing the focus areas of the workshop.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SHAPE MODELING AND APPLICATIONS 2004 PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON SHAPES & SOLIDS 2004 June 7–9, 2004, Palazzo Ducale, Genova, Italy http://smi2004.ge.imati.cnr.it/ Shape Modeling and Applications (SMI) was launched in 1997, in Japan, with the goal to create a multi-disciplinary community concerned with computation techniques for modeling and processing digital representations of shapes and their properties. In 2001, SMI has merged with the Implicit Surface Workshop and is now run as an annual event alternating between Asia, Europe and America. In 2004, SMI invites the scientific community to identify perceptually relevant aspects of shapes and to devise representations capable of capturing not only the form, but also the semantics of shape.
