WSCG profile

WSCG conferences are traditionally oriented to research and application papers of a high quality in the fields mainly related to Computer Graphics, Visualization and Computer Vision. The aim of the WSCG events is to bring experts from related fields to discuss the latest research/application results. Traditionally WSCG conference program consists of oral presentations of full papers, communication papers and posters, research books exhibition and commercial presentations. Companies intending to present their products and researchers interested in presenting tutorials are encouraged to submit their proposals to the conference office.

The WSCG publication policy is to disseminate research results to all interested in. Therefore the WSCG proceedings and the Journal of WSCG papers are available via WEB, no access restriction to full text.

WSCG conferences are traditionally oriented to:

Papers on all related aspects are encouraged.

Journal of WSCG and WSCG proceedings (including Communication papers and Posters) are indexed by ISI (Thompson Reuters) and others.

Historical roots

After the changes in 1989 when the East block was "dissolved" it was understood that it is necessary to widen research collaboration in the field of Computer Graphics. After some period it was decided to establish regular events that would bring the experts from the former Czechoslovakia together.

The WSCG events started as the Winter School of Computer Graphics with about 20 participants from the former Czechoslovakia. It was held in December 1992 in a small village close to the German border at the university training center Rybniky. Participants met in the period when the Czechoslovakia was to be split to two independent countries, Czech and Slovak Republics, since January next year.

The second event was held in January 19 - 20, 1994 at the University of West Bohemia in Plzen with a small international part that enabled participants from the former Czechoslovakia to widen their knowledge in the field of Computer Graphics theory and its applications. The WSCG'94 was partially held with Czech, Slovak and English presentations.

In 1994 was decided to held the WSCG event as a regular event at which the West and East experts can meet. The title was changed to

WSCG - The International Conference in Central Europe on Computer Graphics, Visualization and Computer Vision

with English as the official language.

The titles of the WSCG conferences reflect somehow the development in the field and therefore the titles have been slightly changed to Computer Graphics, Visualization and Interactive Digital Media in 1999 and latter on to Computer Graphics, Visualization and Computer Vision from the year 2001.

Since the year 1992 the WSCG events become widely and internationally recognized research conference.

All papers were published in WSCG proceedings with ISBN since 1992. Latter on the papers were published in the Journal of WSCG as well.
The regular papers are published in the WSCG Full papers and Communication papers proceedings with ISBN.
Posters are published in proceedings with different ISBN as well.

The best full papers are selected for publication in the Journal of WSCG [http://wscg.zcu.cz/jwscg], which is a regular and internationally recognized research journal.
The Journal of WSCG is published regularly with ISSN 1213-6964 (hardcopy), ISSN 1213-6964 (CD ROM version), ISSN 1213-6964 (on-line version). The contents can be downloaded from WEB - no access restriction.

We have had visitors since July 20, 1997
