| Abstract | Welcome to NPAR 2010, the eighth meeting of the International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering, taking place 7-10 June in Annecy, France. NPAR unites researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry who share the goal of synthesizing expressive imagery for the visual communication of ideas and information. On first beholding a daguerreotype in 1839, Delaroche decried, "From today, painting is dead!" Yet some of the best known painters today, including Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Cézanne, Braque, and Dali, had not yet set a brush to canvas. This holds powerful lesson for computer graphics. Artists in traditional media achieved realism and then transcended it, accessing new powers of expression through abstraction. Until the early nineties, computer rendering was following the 15th-century path of painting by seeking ever finer techniques for photorealism. Seminal papers like Haeberli's "Paint by Numbers" produced the first intentionally non-realistic images, and created a new field within computer graphics. Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) was the equivalent of abstract impressionism in traditional art, and promises to be an integral part of the future of computer graphics. Non-photorealistic rendering has its roots in the emulation of both traditional media and the processes of artistic visualization and abstraction. Yet these goals have quickly diversified to span interfaces and interactive methods to aid the creative process, alongside novel camera models, image and video enhancement, and new models for composing and presenting 2D graphics, to name but a few. These challenges are much broader, and harder, than anyone might have expected in the nineties. This has promoted greater overlap between computer graphics and disciplines that seek to understand visual structure (computer vision) and the interface between users and computer graphics (psychology and human computer interaction). Many of the papers presented at the symposium this year can be considered to span at least two of these disciplines. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
