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.
