This list is still being compiled, but I not have a fair number of categories listed.
You need not choose from this list. I'd suggest that you look at the papers from the last two years of SIGGRAPH, EGWR, and Graphics Hardware papers. Also see suggestions from 2000 course offering.
Person presenting paper is listed in parentheses.
