Eurographics Workshop on Urban Data Modelling and Visualisation
2nd edition
EXTENDED DEADLINE - January 31, 2014: Paper submission
April 6th 2014 - Strasbourg, France
http://udmv.udg.edu/2014
Important dates:
- December 16, 2013: Call for papers
- January 31, 2014: Paper submission
- March 7, 2014: Author notification
- March 21, 2014: Camera-Ready Paper Due
- April 6, 2014: Workshop date
The objective of this workshop is to discuss the modelling and visualisation
of the city at various temporal and spatial scales, and aims at sharing
associated techniques, methods, uses and points of view.
Managing and understanding urban data are major issues as there are
represented by several kind of different data at different scales. Urban
data not only embed the geometry of the city model, but also data related to
human activities (eg. social data, transports, mobility, history), to
physical phenomenon (eg. light, wind, heat), and to environment (eg.
geography, climate).
Thus, the processing of urban data is a huge challenge for current computing
capabilities, specially considering all the sustainable development
parameters related to architectural design, urban planning and urban climate
studies; but also considering the specific needs of entertainment, cultural
heritage or any domains using urban data.
The issues found in urban data modelling and visualisation are shared by
various domains (eg. Computer Graphics, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality,
Human-Computer Interface, GIS, Conceptual Modelling and others) and are
related to data quality, the complexity of the cities and the
decision-making processes.
Contributions addressing the following topics are welcome:
- Modelling the static and dynamic features of the city (spatio-temporal
data)
- Multi-scale geometric data (from building scale to urban scale)
- Multi-scale temporal data (from real time to history time)
- Visualisation of several urban data layers (aggregated indicators)
- Visual analytics using urban data (decision making processes and CAD)
- Acquisition and generation of real or realistic urban data
Publication
Expected contributions are research papers, 6 pages in EG publication
format, presenting unpublished methods, algorithms and techniques with
established results.
All accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference by one of the
authors, and will be published in the EG Digital Library.

Dear colleague,
we would like to bring to your attention that the deadline for the first
call for EuroVis State-of-the-Art Reports is slowly approaching.
The deadline for submissions is 24th of January 2014 and the submission
through the <http://www.precisionconference.com/~vgtc/>
www.precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ has now been opened. More details on the
submission process are posted on the dedicated webpage:
<http://eurovis.swansea.ac.uk/submission-guidelines.htm>
http://eurovis.swansea.ac.uk/submission-guidelines.htm.
We welcome all areas of basic visualization research and also surveys from
interesting visualization application areas. The submission should be an
advanced draft of the report, between 10-20 pages long in the Eurographics
formatting style. The report should be original unpublished material,
although its basis can be a state-of-the-art chapter of a recent
Dissertation, for example.
For more information about the formatting guidelines, please refer to the
dedicated webpage:
<http://eurovis.swansea.ac.uk/author-guidelines.htm>
http://eurovis.swansea.ac.uk/author-guidelines.htm.
Please note that although we have taken Eurographics STAR Track as the basis
for designing the EuroVis STAR Track, there are two notable
differences:
1. Full Length Submission: Unlike with Eurographics STARs (which are
typically extended abstracts as an option), EuroVis STARs submissions are
expected to be an advanced draft of the report.
2. Open Peer Review Process: The authors of the reports as well as the
report reviewers will be disclosed during the transparent reviewing process.
Moreover, accepted STARs will list the names of the expert reviewers of the
reports.
We are looking forward to your submission to the first EuroVis STAR track!
Best wishes from,
Rita Borgo, Ross Maciejewski, and Ivan Viola EuroVis STAR Chairs
