南アフリカ・Rhodes University(Grahamstown)で10月29−31日に開催される 「Afrigraph2007」の案内をKevin Glass氏より頂きました。 ACM SIGGPRAH、Eurographicsとも正式に提携しているみたいです。 「南アフリカだから…」と断定するわけにも行きませんが、(本家と比べると) ペーパーセッション少ないなあ…・ http://www.afrigraph.org/conf2007/programme.php まあでもこんなもんかあ…。 そして結構最近までポスターとか投稿受け付けてたりしますね。 http://www.afrigraph.org/conf2007/posters.php 日本でもASIAGRAPHとかSIGGRAPH ASIAとかの開催が決まりましたが、 これはがんばらないといけませんね! (まあetechとかまでやるらしいので南アと比較はできませんが…) 以下、早期割引のお知らせ。 参加費安いのは良いかも。 —- Good day! Early-bird registrations for Afrigraph2007 are now open!
