**** EURORVVV 2012 ****
1st EuroVis Workshop on Reproducibility, Verification, and Validation in
Visualization
June 5th, 2012
Vienna, Austria
<http://www.eurorvvv.org/> http://www.eurorvvv.org/
This year EuroVis will not only be accompanied by EuroVA but also by a new
workshop, the EuroRVVV: EuroVis Workshop on Reproducibility, Verification,
and Validation in Visualization. This workshop will concentrate on recent
and future developments related to the reproducibility of newly developed
visualization approaches, the verification of visualization and
data-processing systems, the validation of visualization paradigms, and the
effective incorporation of all these aspects into visualizations.
*** REGISTRATION
The EuroRVVV is sponsored by EuroVis and the registration at either EuroVis
or EuroVA includes the entrance to EuroRVVV. See
<http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/eurovis2012/registration/>
http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/eurovis2012/registration/ for details.
*** PROGRAM
The program ( <http://www.eurorvvv.org/program/>
http://www.eurorvvv.org/program/ ) includes three invited talks, two from
the vis community and one from a cognitive psychologist, in the early
morning. The second session will be a panel to discuss possibilities for
establishing a "Badge of Honor" for reproducibility with the community and a
group of highly acknowledged panelists.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!

Introduction
We are pleased to announce High-Performance Graphics 2012. High Performance
Graphics is the leading international forum for performance-oriented
graphics systems research including innovative algorithms, efficient
implementations, and hardware architecture. The conference brings together
researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions
of massively parallel hardware, novel programming models, efficient graphics
algorithms, and novel applications. High Performance Graphics was founded in
2009 to synthesize and broaden on two important and well-respected
conferences in computer graphics: <http://www.graphicshardware.org/>
Graphics Hardware and <http://www.sci.utah.edu/rt08/> Interactive Ray
Tracing.
Conference Info
The conference, which will take place on June 25-27, is co-located with the
<http://telecom-paristech.fr/EGSR2012/> Eurographics Symposium on Rendering
in Paris, France. HPG 2012 is co-sponsored by Eurographics and ACM SIGGRAPH.
The program features three days of paper and industry presentations, with
ample time for discussions during breaks, lunches, and the conference
banquet. The conference website is located at
<http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/>
http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/
Posters
We invite the submission of posters describing on-going or late-breaking
work. In addition to traditional posters, this session will be enhanced to
provide opportunities for paper authors to present implementation details or
hands-on demonstrations.
The deadline for poster submissions is Monday, May 7. Notification of
acceptance is Monday, May 14.
To submit a poster, please:
* Prepare an extended abstract (one page maximum) that summarizes the
work using the paper format described above.
* Prepare a high-quality version of the final poster.
* Send both items (in PDF format) to
<mailto:posters@highperformancegraphics.org>
posters(a)highperformancegraphics.org
Additional information:
* Posters will be exhibited in the break areas throughout the
conference. For each poster, we will attempt to make space available for
interactive demonstrations (if necessary and only upon request).
* Poster authors will be responsible for printing the poster, bringing
it to the conference, and putting it up. Easels will be provided.
For further information please contact:
<mailto:posters@highperformancegraphics.org>

Hot 3D Systems Track
We invite vendors in the graphics industry to present their latest and
greatest 3D chips, high-performance software, and system designs.
Presentations should be 20 minutes long, technical rather than
marketing-oriented, and with a focus on real products. Hot 3D presentations
are not considered archival publications for the purposes of future
submission to peer-reviewed venues.
The deadline for Hot 3D applications is Monday, May 7.
For further information please contact:
<mailto:hot3d@highperformancegraphics.org> hot3d(a)highperformancegraphics.org
Demonstrations
Presenters and participants are invited to bring prototypes and products for
demonstration at the event. Demonstrations will be held during breaks and
before and after the sessions. We highly encourage paper authors and
industry presenters to demonstrate their systems. Please contact the
organizing committee by email at
<mailto:general@highperformancegraphics.org>
general(a)highperformancegraphics.org to arrange for space or electrical
connections that may be required for your demonstration.
