Selected Readings in Computer Graphics 2008. CD-ROM

The Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD with offices in Darmstadt as well as in Rostock and Graz, the partner institutes at the respective universities, the Interactive Graphics System Group of Technische Universität Darmstadt, the Computergraphics and Communication Group of the Institute of Computer Science at Rostock University, and the Visual Computing Cluster of Excellence of Graz University of Technology, together with the Centre for Advances Media Technology CAMTech, a co-foundation of Fraunhofer IGD with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, and the Spanish Visual Communication and Interaction Technologies Centre Vicomtech, cooperate closely within projects and research and development in the field of Computer Graphics. The "Selected Readings in Computer Graphics 2008" consists of 41 articles selected from a total of 190 scientific publications contributed by all these institutions. All articles previously appeared in various scientific books, journals, conferences and workshops, and are reprinted with permission of the respective copyright holders. The publications had to undergo a thorough review process by internationally leading experts and established technical societies. Therefore, the Selected Readings should give a fairly good and detailed overview of the scientific developments in Computer Graphics in the year 2008. They are published by Professor José Luís Encarnação, and Professor Dieter W. Fellner, the director of Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD in Darmstadt. Both are professors at the Department of Computer Science at Technische Universität Darmstadt.
