<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The importance of parallel computing is increasing rapidly with the ubiquitous availability of multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and cluster systems. Computationally demanding and data-intensive applications in graphics
and visualization are strongly affected by this trend and require novel efficient parallel solutions. The aim of this symposium is to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge exploiting and defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The
proceedings of the EGPGV Symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Best papers from the EGPGV symposium will be invited to submit an extended journal version to IEEE Transactions on Visualization
and Computer Graphics.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">============================<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This year we introduce a new type of submission: short papers. Short papers target the same interest topics as full papers, but are maximally 4 pages in length. As such, they typically address novel ideas
or work in progress which</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">has not been sufficiently solidly validated as for full papers. Short papers can also target use-cases and applications of parallel
graphics and visualization, presentation of parallel graphics and visualization tools and systems, industry</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">success stories, and showcases of applications making
use of parallel graphics</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho"">
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">and visualization. The short paper track thus broadens the visualization showcase track that was present in earlier editions of EGPGV.
Short papers and their supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Accepted papers (both full and short) will appear in the symposium proceedings</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho"">
