  • Toledo Congress Center, El Greco Toledo, Spain December 2Nd - 4Th, 2015
    Organized by: PRELIMINARY PROGRAM Toledo Congress Center, El Greco Toledo, Spain December 2nd - 4th, 2015 TOLEDO WORLD CAPITAL OF HYDRATION, 2015 © Antonio L. Pareja On an evening in 1614, Domenikos Theotokopoulos, El Greco, picked up the easel and concluded his work “View and Plan of Toledo”, in which he described his particular vision of a city that owes its existence to the Tagus river. Exactly 400 years later, A. Pareja replaces oil painting by photography and the easel by the tripod in order to capture -this time reflecting the true picture- the same view of the City of the Three Cultures and from the same place where El Greco designed his painting. WELCOME Dear friends, Hydration is a health and nutrition field whose relevance is continuously growing among the scientific, medical and pharmaceutical communities, but also in the dietetics and nutrition areas and among consumers worldwide. We find ourselves facing this challenge, which is also a great opportunity, where the scientific community can join efforts to work as one, providing a global vision on new research areas related to hydration and its role in health. Therefore, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the II International and IV Spanish Hydration Congress that will be held the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December 2015 in Toledo; a beautiful city representative of cultural and intellectual diversity. This event, which has taken place every two years since 2008, has become a scientific milestone of tremendous international significance. The last congress, held in 2013, enjoyed the participation of over 1,000 health and nutrition experts from 22 countries within 5 continents, and where 91 new scientific papers were presented.

Abstract Spain keeps an exceptional epigraphic heritage, dated from the Roman civilization, that integrates thousands of Latin inscrip- tions nowadays disseminated along the Iberian peninsula. For many purposes such as education, innovation, cataloging, study and dissemination of this type of historical documentation, a clear demand of placing all this epigraphic heritage into modern 3D graphics, internet and mobile devices is increasing. We present the novel ‘Epigraphia 3D’ for handheld devices, a native Android app for exploring a total of 60 Roman inscriptions from the National Museum of Roman Art (Mérida, Badajoz). The work emphasizes the 3D nature feature for navigating through the inscriptions, by using Glob3 Mobile, an open source GIS framework for visualizing the 3D inscriptions. Besides, an error analysis of the simplified models is tackled. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]: Picture/Image Generation—Digitizing and Scanning 1.
