Proceedings, Part II By Joohee Kim (auth.), George Bebis, Richard Boyle, Bahram Parvin, Darko Koracin, Paolo Remagnino, Ara Nefian, Gopi Meenakshisundaram, Valerio Pascucci, Jiri Zara, Jose Molineros, Holger Theisel, Tom Malzbender (eds.) 2006 | 908 Pages | ISBN: 3540486267 | PDF | 28 MB It is with great pleasure that we welcome you all to the proceedings of the 2nd InternationalSymposiumonVisualComputing(ISVC2006)heldinLakeTahoe. Followinga successfulmeeting lastyear,wewitnesseda muchstrongerandmore productive event this year. ISVC o?ers a common umbrella for the four main areas of visual computing including vision, graphics, visualization, and virtual reality. Its goal is to provide a forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and practitionersthroughouttheworldtopresenttheirlatestresearch?ndings,ideas, developments and applications in the broader area of visual computing. This year, the program consisted of 13 oral sessions, one poster session, ten special tracks, and six keynote presentations. The response to the call for - pers was very strong. We received more than twice the papers received last year. Speci?cally, we received over 280 submissions for the main symposium from which we accepted 65 papers for oral presentation (23% acceptance) and 56 papers for poster presentation (20% acceptance). Special track papers were solicited separately through the Organizing and Program Committees of each track. A total of 57 papers were accepted for presentation in the special tracks. All papers were reviewed with an emphasis on potential to contribute to the state of the art in the ?eld. Selection criteria included accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and signi?cance of results, and presentation quality. The review process was quite rigorous, involving two to three independent blind reviews followed by several days of discussion. During the discussion period we tried to correct anomalies and errors that might have existed in the initial reviews.

Wong (auth.), Hiroshi Yoshiura, Kouichi Sakurai, Kai Rannenberg, Yuko Murayama, Shinichi Kawamura (eds.) 2006 | 438 Pages | ISBN: 3540476997 | PDF | 6 MB ItwasourpleasuretoholdtheInternationalWorkshoponSecurity2006(IWSEC 2006) this year in Kyoto and to publish the proceedings as a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The workshop was our ?rst trial in that two major academic society groups on security in Japan, viz. ISEC and CSEC, jointly organized it; ISEC is a te- nical group on information security of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), and CSEC is a special interest group on computer security of the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ). It was Ryoichi Sasaki, the former head of CSEC, who proposed holding such an international workshop in Japan for the ?rst time, two years ago. The two groups supported his idea and started organizing the workshop. CSEC has its annual domestic symposium, the Computer Security Symposium (CSS), in - tober for three days, and we decided to organize the workshop prior to CSS this year. The initial aim of the workshop was primarily to provide young researchers with the opportunity to present their work in English. However, due to more submissions than we had anticipated, the quality of the accepted papers became far better than we had expected. Theconferencereceived147submissions,outofwhichtheprogramcommittee selected 30 for presentation. These proceedings contain the ?nal versions of the accepted papers, which the authors ?nalized on the basis of comments from the reviewers. Since these revisions were not subject to editorial review, the authors bear full responsibility for the contents of their papers.
