EG 2014: Call for STARs

by eurographics＠eg.org

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

by eurographics＠eg.org

We would like to let you know that we have extended the deadline for poster submissions to Friday, September 13, 2013. The reviewer's feedback will be sent on September 20, 2013. Best regards, Jan Ondrej MIG 2013 Poster Chair =================================================================== CALL FOR POSTERS The 2013 ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games 2013 (MIG) November 7-9, 2013, Dublin, Ireland Submission Deadline: September 13, 2013 Notification: September 20, 2012 http://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/MIG2013/ ==================================================================== The Sixth International Conference on Motion in Games (MIG) will be hosted in the historic city of Dublin, Ireland from November 7-9, 2013. MIG 2013 will be held in cooperation with Eurographics and, for the first time this year, it will be sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH. Games have become a very important medium for education, therapy and entertainment. Motion plays a crucial role in computer games. Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene. Even the motion of the player is used as input to games. Motion is currently studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also physics, psychology, and urban studies. Cross-fertilization between these communities can considerably advance the state-of- the-art in the area. The goal of the Motion in Games conference is to bring together researchers from this variety of fields to present their most recent results, to initiate collaborations, and to contribute to the establishment of the research area. The conference will consist of regular paper sessions, poster presentations, as well as presentations by a selection of established researchers in areas related to games and simulation. The conference program will also include cultural and social events that foster casual and friendly interactions among the participants. We invite submissions of poster abstracts to the MIG poster session. Two types of work can be submitted for poster presentation: 1. Work that has been published elsewhere but is of particular relevance to the MIG community can be submitted as a poster. This work and the venue in which it was published should be identified in the abstract. 2. Work that is of interest to the MIG community but is not yet mature enough to appear as a short or long paper. Poster abstract submissions should be no more than one page in length and should follow the ACM SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines. Poster abstract should be submitted using the MIG online submission system. Accepted posters are not formal publications and will not appear in the official MIG proceedings but will appear in an online database for distribution at author's discretion. The relevant topics include (but are not limited to): Animation Systems Animation Algorithms and Techniques Character Animation Behavioral Animation Facial Animation Particle Systems Simulation of Natural Environments Natural Motion Simulation Virtual Humans Physics-based Motion Crowd Simulation Path Planning Navigation and Way-finding Flocking and Steering Behavior Camera Motion Object Manipulation Motion Capture Techniques Motion Analysis and Synthesis Gesture Recognition MIG online submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mig2013 ACM SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines. http://www.siggraph.org/publications/acmsiggraph.zip
