FIRST CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ______________________________________________________
DIGITAL EARTH MOVING, 2001 (DEM2001) 1st International Symposium
September 5-7, 2001 Manno (Lugano), Switzerland,
http://www.cimsi.cim.ch/DEM2001
______________________________________________________
The Organizing Committee of the First International Symposium on Digital Earth Moving (DEM2001) cordially invites full paper and poster submissions for proposed presentation as part of the Symposium program. Commercial venders interested to showcase relevant commercial software and/or hardware are also encouraged to apply.
1. OVERVIEW
Changing the geometry of the earth's surface is a universally specified need across disciplines and throughout history. The technological era has seen rapid emergence of digital tools for performing grading tasks virtually. All approaches weigh the concerns:
o Geometric manipulation - editing 3D geometric surfaces, o Visualization - seeing a 3D image or model, and* o Accuracy - correct and reliable quantive correct information.
The Symposium seeks to gather key representatives from commercial, academic, public and private sectors who are driving the use and development of these new capabilities. The latest commercial software, hardware, research innovations, and user requirements will be prime topics featured and open for discussion and scholarly debate.
2. THEMES
o Digital Terrain Modelling o Dynamic Terrain* o Digital Surface Sculpting, Deformation, Editing, Modification o Algorithms and Visualization Techniques o Computer Aided Surface Design (CAD) o Rapid Prototyping (CAD/CAM) o Modelling Techniques & Interfaces o Precision Civil and Geophysical Modeling o GPS-based Surface Grading Techniques o Earth Deformation Modelling o Waterway Dredging and Surface Grading o Rail and Highway Surface Grading o Earthworks and Embankments o Design Construction in Industry o Computational Geomophometry and Geomorphology o Terrain Simulation and Virtual Reality Gaming o Topographic Form Parametrization* o Digital Surface Representation Techniques and Algorithms* o Verification, Validation and Certification of Terrain Modeling Solutions o Metadata and Directory Services o Digital Topographic Representation and Visualization

9. LANGUAGE
The working language will be English.
10. FULL PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Publication of accepted full paper submissions is planned with Springer Verlag AG as part of their, Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). Authors are requested to conform to the LNCS instructions for authors (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html), and to please note that LNCS is now also published, in parallel to the printed books, in full-text electronic version and therefore the electronic files of all parts of the manuscript (including front matter pages) must be submitted in digital form as advised in the instructions.
Authors should submit original full manuscripts (with abstracts) in English not to exceed 16 LNCS pages in total length,including figures and bibliography (less than 6000 words); or 4 LNCS pages for poster contributions. E-mail submissions must be in a standard format (MS Word, PDF or postscript, RTF, TeX, LaTeX). The title page of the paper should contain the title, author(s), affiliation(s), the submitting author's mailing address, e-mail address, fax number, telephone number, a 100-200 word abstract, 5-7 keywords, and a statement indicating that neither the paper nor a close simile has been submitted elsewhere for publication. If you are unable to submit electronically, please contact the Symposium organizers to request separate submission arrangements.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers in person and to attend the full conference.
Manuscripts should be emailed to mailto:dem2001@cimsi.cim.ch by January 31, 2001.
Notification of acceptance will be mailed out by April 1, 2001, with final camera ready papers due May 28, 2001. Further details for publication of final papers will be included in the acceptance notification.
11. SOFTWARE/HARDWARE SUBMISSIONS
Commercial vendors who wish to demonstrate software or hardware as part of the Symposium program are encouraged to apply. An application packet submitted to the Scientific Committee should include the following:
* o a concise statement, not to exceed 2 pages in length, detailing the relevance of the product to one or more of the Symposium Themes.* o accompanying graphic material submitted on a floppy disk or CD-Rom. Demo versions of software are ok.* o the required facility and/or hardware support necessary to showcase the product at the Symposium venue or in the field.* o examples of any commercial marketing material to be distributed during the Symposium or Workshop.
The same submission and registration deadlines apply to commercial product submissions as to full papers and posters!
12. WORKSHOP
A pre-Symposium field workshop is planned for September 4, 2001, a day before the formal DEM2001 begin. Participants will visit a large, active earth construction project in Switzerland. On-site demonstration of digital tools used in its design and construction will take place.
13. CONTACT INFORMATION & VENUE
DEM2001 will be hosted by the Institute for Applied Computer Science in Manufacturing and Industry (CIMSI) at the University of Applied Sciences of Switzerland (SUPSI), in the scenic region of Ticino.
