Presents information on the Symposium on Geometry Processing in Aachen, Germany on June 23 to 25, 2003. Information on the symposium's Web site; Details on algorithms presented by speakers S. Oudot and J.-D. Boissonat; Papers on mesh compression featured in the event.

The article offers information on the 2009 Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2009) from March 29 to March 30, 2009 in Munich, Germany. The papers accepted for the symposium covered topics on computer graphics and visualization. Peter Shirley highlighted how desktop parallelism allows ray tracing to be an alternative to the traditional status quo of rasterization for interactive rendering while Matt Pharr identified how to control the parallel computing power of graphical architectures.

The article discusses the highlights of the 2008 and 2010 Eurographics workshops on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine (VCBM). The 2008 workshop was held at the Delft University of Technology in Netherlands on October 67, 2008. The second workshop was held in Leipzig, Germany on July 1-2, 2010. The workshops' International Programme Committee (IPC) included members from the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, Austria, Spain, the U.S., Canada, Belgium abd Sweden.

The article offers information on the Education Programme at Eurographics 2009 in Munich, Germany from March 31 to April 1, 2009. There were 12 presentations which range from a new method of teaching quaternions to teaching computer graphics in the context of theatre. W. Muto from the Drexel University presented the paper "Applications of Multitouch & Gaming Technology for the Classroom" in the games in education session. C. Larboulette of the University Rey Juan Carlos, Spain presented the "Computer Animation Curriculum: An Interdisciplinary Approach."

The article discusses the highlights of the Thirtieth General Assembly of the EUROGRAPHICS Association held at the Technical University of Munich, Garching, Germany on April 1, 2009. The Chairman, Doctor Roberto Scopigno, reported that the new membership categories approved in 2008 by the General Assembly were being implemented. He also gave a report of the activities of the Association. Internal accounts and audited accounts are discussed.

Based on a collaborative visualization design process involving sensitive historical data and historiographical expertise, we investigate the relevance of ethical principles in visualization design. While fundamental ethical norms like truthfulness and accuracy are already well‐described and common goals in visualization design, datasets that are accompanied by specific ethical concerns need to be processed and visualized with an additional level of carefulness and thought. There has been little research on adequate visualization design incorporating such considerations. To address this gap we present insights from Topography of Violence, a visualization project with the Jewish Museum Berlin that focuses on a dataset of more than 4,500 acts of violence against Jews in Germany between 1930 and 1938. Drawing from the joint project, we develop an approach to the visualization of sensitive data, which features both conceptual and procedural considerations for visualization design. Our findings provide value for both visualization researchers and practitioners by highlighting challenges and opportunities for ethical data visualization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
