Post-doc & PhD position on physically-based animations of complex materials available at TU Munich

by eurographics＠eg.org

One post-doctoral researcher and one Ph.D. position are available at the Technical University of Munich in the area of physically-based animations of complex materials for games and movies. The Technical University of Munich currently has a new research focus on computer games and digital effects. A particular emphasis lies on the efficient simulation of complex materials, such as deformable bodies, fracture and fluid effects. It is an area that has found wide spread use in the movie industry, but many challenges remain to employ these techniques in games, and to use increase usability of the simulations. While the program will focus on fundamental research topics, industry relevance is likewise a strong focus. Especially the area of computer games so far is a challenging field for expensive simulations due to the strict time and resource constraints. The goal of this program is to push the boundaries of complex physics simulations for interactive applications. Research areas include, but are not limited to, data-driven algorithms and machine-learning approaches, efficient parallel solvers, accurate discretizations and procedural modeling of physical phenomena. If you are interested in applying, you should have a strong background in numerical algorithms, have experience implementing C/C++ algorithms, and you should be excited to work on state-of-the-art research in the CG area. Good English skills are also a plus. For the post-doctoral position, you should have a strong publication record in computer graphics, or a related discipline such as computer vision, applied physics or numerical math. This is a full time position, with payment and benefits according the German public service employment levels (TV-L E13, 100%). To apply, please send your CV to the address below. Also, if you have questions, simply send a mail to: Nils Thuerey Email: <mailto:nils.thuerey@tum.de> nils.thuerey(a)tum.de Phone: <tel:%2B49%20%280%2989%20289%2019484> +49 (0)89 289 19484 <http://wwwcg.in.tum.de/group/persons/thuerey.html> http://wwwcg.in.tum.de/group/persons/thuerey.html On our website: <http://wwwcg.in.tum.de/group/joboffers/phd-position.html> http://wwwcg.in.tum.de/group/joboffers/phd-position.html <http://wwwcg.in.tum.de/group/joboffers/post-doc-position.html> http://wwwcg.in.tum.de/group/joboffers/post-doc-position.html

Two Postdoctoral Position at University of Bath

by eurographics＠eg.org

================================================================ Two Postdoctoral Position at University of Bath: the ACQUISITION of URBAN ASSETS and TOTAL SCENE MODELLING. Salary: Starting from £30,424, rising to £36,298 Duration of contract: 3 years. Closing date: 25th November, or until appointment, whichever is sooner. ---------------------------------------------------------------- OAK: Outdoor Asset Capture. The University of Bath and University College London are engaged in joint research designed to address core Computer Science issues raised by the needs of the creative industries -- the film, games, and broadcast sectors in particular. Six internationally known industrial leaders are involved through an advisory panel. The purpose of the OAK project is to enable these industries to easily use images and video to acquire models of outdoor objects and locations, in urban, semi-urban, and natural environments. These models must be editable and controllable by creative users. We plan to acquire assets at a range of scales from a few millimetres through the kilometres, from bark to trees to forests. There are now two post-doctoral vacancies open in relation to this work. One of these positions deals with ACQUISITION, MODELLING AND EDITING OF URBAN ASSETS such as buildings and street furniture. The key here is to acquire such models from images and video such that new instances, not in the source images, can be created. The other is TOTAL SCENE MODELLING, that is using procedural methods to build new large scale scenes populated with outdoor dynamic assets at all scales. This will require developing new ways for artists to generate and control data-driven models acquired from all of OAK. Successful candidates will join a strong team already engaged in the OAK project. They must be able to demonstrate an excellent publication record at least one of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning. They will be able to work both alone and as part of a multi-site team. They will be able to engage with researchers in relevant industries via our industrial advisory panel. Candidates are encourage to contact us before applying. Those interested in ACQUISITION, MODELLING AND EDITING OF URBAN ASSETS are directed towards Dr Darren Cosker (dpc(a)cs.bath.ac.uk). Those interested in TOTAL SCENE MODELLING are directed towards Prof. Phil Willis (pjw(a)cs.bath.ac.uk) or Prof. Brian Wyvill (b.wyvill(a)bath.ac.uk). The OAK project is led by Dr Peter Hall, who will answer questions on either vacancy and the project as a whole (pmh(a)cs.bath.ac.uk). Formal applications must be made through Bath official website. Apply for TOTAL SCENE MODELLING: www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.aspx?ref=VH1753R Apply for ACQUISITION of URBAN ASSETS: www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.aspx?ref=VH1750R Closing date: 25th November, or until appointment, whichever is sooner.

by eurographics＠eg.org

Tutorials The Eurographics 2014 Tutorials Committee invites you to propose tutorials teaching the technical background of a given subject, or demonstrating its potential creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can be used to do it. In a proposal for a tutorial you should consider that tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and development to education and application. We are soliciting half-day and full-day tutorial proposals at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced level in all areas pertinent to Computer Graphics. Half-day tutorials are about two and a half hours, plus a coffee break in the middle. Full-day tutorials are twice that long, plus two coffee breaks and a longer lunch break. Tutorial proposals are about 4-5 pages in length, clearly indicating the audience that is addressed as well as the syllabus of instruction. They will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs, supported by external reviewers. The final selection will be based on quality of the submission, qualification of the presenters, relevance to the conference topics, and balance of topics. Each accepted half day tutorial will be granted a free conference registration for one speaker, while each full-day tutorial will be granted a maximum of two free conference registrations. Free tutorial registrations will be granted for all tutorial speakers. For any question concerning tutorial submissions please contact any of the tutorial co-chairs: Nicolas Holzschuch, <mailto:Nicolas.Holzschuch@inria.fr> Nicolas.Holzschuch(a)inria.fr Karol Myszkowski, <mailto:karol@mpi-inf.mpg.de> karol(a)mpi-inf.mpg.de Submission Details Tutorial proposals (in PDF) should be submitted via email to the tutorial co-chairs.

EG 2014: Call for STARs

by eurographics＠eg.org

** New ** This year, Morgan & Claypools, in agreement with EUROGRAPHICS, offers the authors of selected STARS to consider the possibility of turning the STAR into a book in the series. Note that this is independent from the possibility to submit a journal version to CGF, and that both are possible options. ** The deadline for the submission of STAR proposals is October 6, 2013 ** State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) that provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic of current interest related to Computer Graphics will be included in the EUROGRAPHICS 2014 conference program. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS. This year we would like to encourage submissions in the following areas: Rendering from large data (point clouds, compression, large environments), machine learning for shape analysis and synthesis, fabrication technologies, sketching and hand drawing, sampling and filtering for rendering. A STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in a different scientific discipline or in industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, please refer to the EUROGRAPHICS digital library ( <https://diglib.eg.org/> https://diglib.eg.org/ ). At EUROGRAPHICS 2014, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that also allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow this presentation. The conference registration fee will be waived for one author per accepted STAR. After the conference a selection of the best STARs will be referred to Computer Graphics Forum. Acceptance of the revised, enhanced version of the original STAR will depend on the outcome of a second review cycle. For any question concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs co-chairs by e-mail (see below). *Submission Details* A STAR proposal should be, in essence, a short version of the planned STAR. The proposal will start by outlining the topic, its relevance to EUROGRAPHICS as well as the target audience and its expected background. The proposal has to include the planned table of contents of the final STAR with brief summaries of each section, as well as the complete set of literature references. We encourage submitters to include results of experiments or comparisons. Brief biographies of the authors should be included, demonstrating their qualification to produce the proposed STAR. Such a proposal should be at most 6 pages in length (not counting references). Each proposal will be reviewed by two experts in the field selected by the STAR co-chairs. STAR proposals (in PDF) should be submitted via email to the STARs co-chairs. Authors should expect to receive a confirmation of receipt of their proposal and should request confirmation if one is not received within a day or two. Some problems may arise with large e-mailed attachments (over 3MB in size). Therefore we advise to e-mail a link to a location from which the larger document can be downloaded. The deadline for the submission of STAR proposals is October 6, 2013, with notification of acceptance on December 4, 2013. The full length version of accepted STARs will have to be submitted at a later date for a second short review (due date to be announced shortly). If the authors have already prepared a longer version of their intended STAR, they may contact the STARs co-chairs ahead of the submission deadline to check for the opportunity of submitting a longer STAR proposal (in principle, this is appreciated). *STARs Co-Chairs* Michela Spagnuolo - <mailto:michela.spagnuolo@ge.imati.cnr.it> michela.spagnuolo(a)ge.imati.cnr.it Sylvain Lefebvre - <mailto:sylvain.lefebvre@inria.fr> sylvain.lefebvre(a)inria.fr
