Graphical Models is recognized internationally as a highly rated, top tier journal and is focused on the creation, geometric processing,
animation, and visualization of GRAPHICAL MODELS and on their applications in engineering, science, culture, and entertainment. GMOD
provides its readers with thoroughly reviewed and carefully selected papers that disseminate exciting innovations, that teach rigorous
theoretical foundations, that propose robust and efficient solutions, or that describe ambitious systems or applications in a variety
of topics.
We invite papers in five categories: research (contributions of novel theoretical or practical approaches or solutions),
survey (opinionated views of the state-of-the-art and challenges in a specific topic), system (the architecture and implementation details
of an innovative architecture for a complete system that supports model/animation design, acquisition, analysis, visualization?), application
(description of a novel application of know techniques and evaluation of its impact), or lecture (an elegant and inspiring perspective
on previously published results that clarifies them and teaches them in a new way)
GMOD offers its authors an accelerated review,
feedback from experts in the field, immediate online publication of accepted papers, no restriction on color and length (when justified
by the content) in the online version, and a broad promotion of published papers. A prestigious group of editors selected from among
the premier international researchers in their fields oversees the review process.
Because timely publication of research results
is important for the careers of our authors and for the vitality of the field, GMOD is putting in place its R3 (Rapid Response Review)
system, which strives to provide authors with a preliminary decision within an average of one month after submission.
The following
