The paper track focuses on several topic areas. The General Computer Graphics topic area is designed to solicit papers that apply state of the art graphics techniques and image processing to visualizing simulation results and simulation virtual environments. The Web3D / WebGL / HTML5 topic area is designed to extract from the research community, state of the art techniques for visualizing distributed simulations. Many physically based simulations require solutions of complex systems of equations that must have efficient computational grids to produce realistic results with minimal computer resources. Simulation methodologies for data acquisition for the Internet Of Things (IoT) is a topic of interest.
