ACM SIGGRAPH 2011 papers
Hugues Hoppe · 2011
Welcome to the SIGGRAPH 2011 Technical Papers Program! It has been an amazing honor to chair the technical papers program. This rare opportunity let me experience the process from a unique perspective, and I am now even more impressed by the dedication and professionalism of everyone involved, from authors and reviewers to all those working behind the scenes. Over many years, we have fine-tuned a conference program that does our community proud. This proceedings contains some of the most exciting and inspiring recent research in the area of computer graphics and interactive techniques. There were 432 submissions, a 10% increase over last year. The papers committee, comprised of 51 experts from academia and industry, accepted 82 papers. Although this acceptance rate of 19% is lower than last year, it is in line with the long-term distribution (2006=18%, 2007=24%, 2008=17%, 2009=18%, 2010=27%). Another 10 papers were referred to ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) as "Accept with major revision." If one counts those papers, acceptance rate was 21%.
