This book constitutes thoroughly revised and selected papers from
the 11th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging
and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications, VISIGRAPP 2016, held
in Rome, Italy, in February 2016. VISIGRAPP comprises GRAPP,
International Conference on Computer Graphics Theory and
Applications; IVAPP, International Conference on Information
Visualization Theory and Applications; and VISAPP, International
Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications. The 28
thoroughly revised and extended papers presented in this volume
were carefully reviewed and selected from 338 submissions. The book
also contains one invited talk in full-paper length. The regular
papers were organized in topical sections named: computer graphics
theory and applications; information visualization theory and
applications; and computer vision theory and applications.
In nature, biological organisms produce mineralized tissues such as
bone, teeth, diatoms, and shells. Biomineralization is the
sophisticated process of production of these inorganic minerals by
living organisms. Construction of organic-inorganic hybrid
materials with controlled mineralization analogous to those
produced by nature has recently received much attention because it
can aid in understanding the mechanisms of the biomineralization
process and development of biomimetic materials processing. The
biomineralization ? processes use aqueous solutions at temperatures
below 100 C and no toxic intermediates are produced in these
systems. From a serious global en- ronmental problem point of view,
the development of processes inspired by biomineralization would
offer valuable insights into material science and en- neering to
reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. One of the most
challenging scienti?c problems is to gain greater insight into the
mol- ular interactions occurring at the interface between the
inorganic mineral and the macromolecular organic matrix. Model
systems are often regarded as a straight-forward experimental
approach toward biomimetic crystallization. Hierarchical
architectures consisting of small building blocks of inorganic cr-
tals are often found in biominerals. Studies of nanocrystal
self-organization in solution systems would also be helpful for
understanding biomineralization. In these volumes, we focus on
construction of organic-inorganic hybrid - terials with controlled
mineralization inspired by natural biomineralization. In the?rst
