Workshops

AniNex - 22 to 23 June

The 3rd Workshop for EU IRSES project on Next Generation Computer Animation Techniques

Notice for the authors:

You may now free access the conference online proceeding here.

Chair: Dr. Jian Chang - The National Centre for Computer Animation, Bournemouth University

Co-Chairs: Prof Nadia Magnenat Thalmann - MIRALab, University of Geneva, Switzerland and NTU, Singapore.
Prof Jian J Zhang - The National Centre for Computer Animation, Centre for Digital Entertainment, Bournemouth University

The “AniNex” (www.aninex.org) is an EU FP7 funded exchange project, which is designed to prepare and lead the development of next generation techniques related to computer animation and its applications. The workshop will be coordinated as part of the Edutainment conference programme at Bournemouth in June 2017.

A post-session proceeding for the workshop (which is a separate track from the Edutainment conference proceeding) will be published at the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS) by Springer. Papers with potential will be recommended to submit extended and significantly revised versions to be considered for publication in a list of Journals (please see a list of the journals here).

Authors are welcome to send their queries through email to Dr Jian Chang at: jchang@bournemouth.ac.uk
