The International Network of Institutions for advanced education, training and R&D in Com-puter Graphics technology, systems and applications (INI-GraphicsNet) is the largest research unit worldwide entirely dedicated to the field of Computer Graphics. The network's institu-tions are located in Darmstadt (Germany), Frankfurt (Germany), Rostock (Germany), Coimbra (Portugal), Providence (U.S.A.) and Singapore. It employs more than 334 full-time engineers and scientists and has an approximate yearly turnover of more than 41 Million EUR. The INI-GraphicsNet is directed by Professor José Luis Encarnação. The 'Selected Readings 2001' consists of 38 articles selected from a total of 186 scientific pub-lications contributed by all institutions of the INI-GraphicsNet. All articles previously appeared in various scientific books, journals, conferences and workshops, and are reprinted with per-mission 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 year 2001.
