by Stefanie Behnke

Dear Colleagues, this is a kind reminder for the quick approaching deadline for the Short Paper and Workshop submissions for . EuroVis 2013 Short Paper Track . EnvirVis: Visualization in Environmental Sciences . EuroRVVV: EuroVis Workshop on Reproducibility, Verification, and Validation in Visualization . VAMP 2013: Visual Analytics using Multidimensional Projections . VMLS 2013: Visualization in Medicine and Life Sciences . EuroVA 2013: Fourth International EuroVis Workshop on Visual Analytics All initial submissions are due on *** March 8, 2013 *** Details can be found on the conference website - <http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/call-short-papers> http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/call-short-papers and the websites of the co-located events: - <http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/workshops> http://www.eurovis2013.de/content/workshops *** EuroVis - Short Papers *** For the second time, EuroVis 2013 features a short paper track. The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international program committee. They will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be 4 pages (at most), excluding references, and 5 pages (at most), in total. They will be orally presented at the conference. EuroVis 2013 will be held in Leipzig, Germany, June 17-21, 2013. Important Dates for All Submissions: . Submission Deadline: March 8, 2013 . Acceptance Notification: April 19, 2013 . Camera-ready Deadline: May 3, 2013 . Conference and workshop will take place: June 17-21, 2013 A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller -- yet still significant -- scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers: . A new visualization technique or system and evidence of its utility compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation). . An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization technique or system with convincing evaluation. . An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system. . A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that helps to understand limitations. . A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the implementation). . A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community (without extensive evaluation of the methodology). All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book.

After two successful events in 2006 and 2009, VMLS 2013 will, for the first time, be co-located with EuroVis. The goal of the workshop is to discuss novel visualization techniques driven by the needs in medicine and life sciences as well as new application areas and challenges for visualization within these fields. VMLS 2013 intends to generate ideas and concepts for visual analysis of data from scientific studies of living organs or to the delivery of healthcare. Target scientific domains include the entire field of biology at all scales - from genes and proteins to organs and populations - as well as interdisciplinary research based on technological advances such as bioinformatics, biomedicine, biochemistry, or biophysics. Moreover, they comprise the field of medicine and the application of science and technology to healthcare problems. The workshop will be organized in form of presentation sessions of invited and contributed talks and will allocate a significant amount of time to vivid discussions. We invite short papers (extended abstracts) to be submitted via the EuroVis submission system. Accepted papers will be included into the EuroVis online proceedings and presented in a formal presentation during the workshop. All presenters will be invited to submit a full paper to the postproceedings. Accepted full papers will appear in a hard-cover book within the Mathematics+Visualization series of the Springer-Verlag. Submission Deadline: March 8, 2013 https://precisionconference.com/~vlms13 The workshop will consist of two parts: . The first part (June 16-17) is by invitation only. . The second part (June 17-18) is part of the EuroVis 2013 conference and open to all EuroVis 2013 participants. Organizers: . Lars Linsen, Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany .

Postdoctoral Position in Computer Vision Analysis of Growing Plants at U. C. Davis, California, USA

by Stefanie Behnke

Postdoctoral Position in Computer Vision Analysis of Growing Plants at U. C. Davis, California, USA We have a Postdoctoral scholar position in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Davis CA, USA, for a researcher in computer vision, image processing, image segmentation, or shape matching, to work on a project to understand the growth of tomato plants. The work includes multi-view stereo reconstruction, registration and joint analysis of multi-view stereo, thermal, and "pushbroom" multispectral imagery of growing plants, feature tracking in Micro Computed Tomography images of growing plant meristems, and developing models of plant growth, as well as helping to mentor two graduate students doing this research. The position is for 12 months, with a possible extension for up to 3 more months, and could start anytime in the calendar year 2013. Appointment as a postdoctoral scholar requires a doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D.) or foreign equivalent (in this case, in Computer Science or a related filed such as Electrical Engineering or Mathematics). To apply, e-mail a CV to Nelson Max <mailto:max@cs.ucdavis.edu> <max(a)cs.ucdavis.edu>. The abstract of our funded project is included below. "In the near future, population increases combined with climate change are expected to place unprecedented demands on agriculture. Droughts are predicted to become more prevalent, nitrogen and phosphorous will become limiting, and saline environments may be accessed as arable land becomes depleted. Developing crop varieties to cope with such stresses under unpredictable climate conditions will require a nuanced understanding of genetic responses to environmental changes. Additionally, valuable water and fertilizer must be efficiently triaged to those plants facing the greatest deficit of resources. In this project, we will study responses to drought, salinity, and nitrogen and phosphorous deprivation in tomato, the second most valuable vegetable crop in California and worldwide. We will use RNA expression profiling to identify those genes most responsive to environmental stresses not only in domesticated tomato, but also its wild relatives, which may harbor sensitized responses to environmental change. We will develop high throughput methods to measure biochemical markers of stress, including remote multi-spectral sensing, thermal imaging, and stereo reconstruction. Additionally, we will analyze changes in the development and morphology of organs using Micro Computed Tomography to image the meristem and observe changes in leaves from their inception. We will direct our understanding of stress response towards the creation of genetically engineered tomato varieties that, from the outset of specific stresses, will visibly express a reporter, changing the color or structure of the plant. Such sentinel plants will allow the application of water and fertilizer as needed, rather than broadcasting these resources on potentially wasteful schedules."
