The International Network of Institutions for advanced education, training and R& D in Computer Graphics technology, systems and applications (INI-GraphicsNet) is the largest research network worldwide entirely dedicated to the field of Computer Graphics. The International Network of Institutions for advanced education, training and R& D in Computer Graphics technology, systems and applications (INI-GraphicsNet) is the largest research network worldwide entirely dedicated to the field of Computer Graphics. The „Selected Readings in Computer Graphics 2006“ consist of 29 articles selected from a total of 168 scientific publications contributed by all institutions of the INI-GraphicsNet. All articles previously appeared in various scientific books, journals, conferences and workshops, and are reprinted with permission of the respective copyright holders. The publications had to undergo a thorough review process by internationally leading experts and established technical societies. Therefore, the Selected Readings should give a fairly good and detailed overview of the scientific developments in the INI-GraphicsNet in the year 2006. They are published by Professor José Luis Encarnação, the director of the board of the INI-GraphicsNet Stiftung and Professor Dieter W. Fellner, the director of Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD in Darmstadt, the largest member of the INI-GraphicsNet.
