Welcome GraphiCon is the largest international conference on Computer Graphics in Europe and Asia annually organized in Russian Federation. The first conference on Computer Graphics in the former USSR (actual predessesor of GraphiCon) took place in Novosibirsk in 1977 because of high level research in the area by Siberian scientists. After that, the GraphiCon conferences took place in Moscow (1991, 1992, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004), St.-Petersburg (1993, 1995, 1996), and Nizhni Novgorod (1994, 2001, 2002). It is pretty symbolic that the 15-th GraphiCon is coming back to Novosibirsk, actual place of birth of these computer graphics conferences. The 15th event will be hosted and organized on June 20-24, 2005 by the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences in cooperation with Eurographics Association ACM SIGGRAPH LEDAS Company S3 Graphics Inc Institute of Automation and Electrometry, SB RAS Institute of Informatics Systems, SB RAS Novosibirsk State University, Moscow State University, Institute of Applied Mathematics, RAS, Moscow
