by Stefanie Behnke

DIRK BARTZ PRIZE FOR VISUAL COMPUTING IN MEDICINE 2013 (EUROGRAPHICS MEDICAL PRIZE) Submission Deadline: 26 November 2012 Notification: 16 January 2013 The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition to acknowledge the contribution that computer graphics is playing in the medical field, and to encourage further development. In 2010 the Eurographics Medical Prize was renamed to honor Dirk Bartz who passed away far too early in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was a highly recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher and promoter of Visual Computing in Medicine. Dirk Bartz was an active member of the Eurographics Association and Chair of the EG Medical Prize 2007 and 2009. CALL Submissions for the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 2013 are now being invited from researchers and developers who can demonstrate that a particular benefit has resulted from the use of computer graphics technology in a medical application that they have produced. Examples of entries could include the use of new data visualization techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments. Instructions for submission can be found at https://srm.eg.org/SRM_EG2013MED WINNERS The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 2013 will receive a prize and their submission will be published in the “Short and Areas Papers and Medical Prize Awards” proceedings. The judging panel will select the winning entries on the basis of their clinical value, use made of computer graphics, and novelty. All three winning teams will have an opportunity to briefly present their results at Eurographics 2013 in Girona (Spain), 6-10 May, which means that at least one author of each winning team must attend to present the results. See the Hall of Fame http://www.eg.org/images/stories/awards/dirk_bartz_price/halloffame_2012052… for previous recipients of the prize.

VAST2012: Call for papers

by Stefanie Behnke

Apologies for cross posting Call for papers VAST2012: The 13th International Symposium on Virtual Reality, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Brighton, UK, 19-21 November 2012 Use inspired technological advances in heritage www.vast2012.org DEADLINE: 23 SEPTEMBER, 2012 Digital technology has the potential to influence every aspect of the cultural heritage environment. Archaeologists and cultural heritage scientists as well as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) experts have in the past collaborated to find solutions to optimise all aspects of capturing, managing, analysing and delivering cultural information, but many unsolved problems remain. The goal of VAST 2012 will be to build on the open dialogue between these different areas of expertise, and in particular allow ICT experts to have a better understanding of the critical requirements that cultural heritage professionals have for managing and delivering cultural information and for the ICT systems that support these activities. To achieve this VAST 2012 will explore the entire pipeline of ICT in cultural heritage from background research to exploitation. The conference not only focuses on the development of innovative solutions, but it will investigate the issues of the exploitation of computer science research by the cultural heritage community. The transition from research to practical reality can be fraught with difficulty. The digital environment provides new opportunities and new business processes for sustainability, but with these opportunities there are also challenges. VAST 2012 will provide an opportunity for the heritage and ICT communities to understand these challenges and shape the future of ICT and heritage research. We are seeking contributions that advance the state of the art in the information technologies available to support cultural heritage. In particular: Data Acquisition and Processing: 2/3/4D data capture Geometry processing and representations On-site and remotely sensed data collection Digital capture of intangible heritage (performance, audio, dance, oral) Geographical information systems Metadata Handling: Classification schemas, ontologies and semantic processing Long-term preservation of digital artefacts Annotations Digital libraries, data management and collection management Multilingual applications, tools and systems Presentation: Mobile technologies Virtual museums Augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations Interactive environments and applications Multi-modal interfaces and rendering Storytelling and design of heritage communications Usability, effectiveness and interface design Intelligent and knowledge-based tools for digital reconstruction Authoring tools for creating new cultural experiences Practitioners' Experience: Professional and ethical guidelines Standards and documentation Requirements and policies Methodological issues and research paradigms Tools for education and training Serious games in cultural heritage Assistance in monitoring and restoration Economics and Business: Economics of cultural informatics Watermarking, provenance, copyright and IPR Business models and sustainability for ICT in cultural heritage Impact of ICT applications in cultural heritage Other relevant works concerning the application of information technologies to Cultural Heritage, not explicitly included in the above categories, are also welcome for submission. Accepted papers will be presented in the form of: . Full research papers presenting new innovative results: these papers will be published by Eurographics in the EG Symposium Series (ISSN 1881-864X). The contributions should not exceed 8 pages, including bibliography and illustrations. . Short papers presenting preliminary results and works-in-progress or focusing on on-going projects, the description of project organization, use of technology, and lesson learned. These papers will have an oral and poster presentation and will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume. The contributions should not exceed 4 pages, including bibliography and illustrations. BEST PAPERS AWARD The best papers selected at VAST 2012 will have the opportunity to be submitted to the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage (JOCCH). JOCCH is published online during the year and then a hardcopy volume is produced at the end of the year. All submissions will be reviewed and feedback given to the authors. See detailed information on submissions (http://www.vast2012.org/submissions). To have the paper published in the proceedings, at least one of the authors must register to the Conference after being notified of acceptance but before submitting camera-ready copies.
