INTRODUCTION
------------

The CGVR Workshop is the result of the merging of the Virtual Reality in Scientific Applications
and Learning (VRSAL) and the Technical Session on Computer Graphics (TSCG) Workshop series
organized since 2004 during the ICCSA Conference series.
Nowadays, Computer Graphics and Geometrical Modeling are recognized as important and challenging
areas of Computer Science.
Furthermore, the usage of Virtual Reality (VR) techniques in scientific applications and
learning has significantly increased during recent years.
The development of Web based tools and Grid middleware and infrastructures allows the exploration
of new approaches in designing scientific applications and increase the level of interaction
between the user and the learning environment.

The workshop will represent a great opportunity for the scientists to exchange ideas and progresses
made in such field, as occurred in the past editions of TSCG and VRSAL of 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005
and 2004.

We invite you to submit a paper (between 5 and 11 pages long) to be published by IEEE Computer Society.
For formatting instructios, please visit the "Authors' Instructions" section of the ICCSA 2009 web
site: http://www.iccsa.org/authors-instructions

The submission of the paper represents for the author an implicit expression of intention to
register to ICCSA 2009 Conference and to participate to the related workshops sessions.

Submitted papers have to be original, containing new unpublished results.
