Based on the continued growth and success of the event, EuroVis will be a conference for the fourth time. The posters track will present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. In particular, it provides young researchers, especially postgraduate students, with valuable opportunities to receive feedback from other researchers, and engage in stimulating discussions. A EuroVis poster may describe a piece of work in any aspect of visualization. For directly-submitted posters, we particularly encourage summary report of collaborative projects, work in progress, and application case studies. Important Dates: - submission: 23:59GMT, Tuesday, 7/Apr/2015 - notification: Monday, 20/Apr/2015 Submission: We solicit poster submissions in the form of a poster and an accompanying sketch (i.e., an extended abstract of at most 2 pages, with an additional page allowed for references only). Posters will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage double-blind process. Accepted poster will be presented at the poster session of the conference. Both a PDF version of the poster and the sketch will be included on the conference USB sticks. Traditionally, the materials in a poster/sketch can be reused later by the original authors for a more extensive publication (e.g., a full paper) with more detailed content and mature results. This should not be considered as self-plagiarism. However, as posters/sketches are citable, researchers are encouraged to acknowledge novel ideas and results presented in posters/sketches. Short papers are submitted using the SRM submission system: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EuroVisPosters_2015> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EuroVisPosters_2015 See <http://www.eurovis2015.it/for-submitters/author-guidelines> http://www.eurovis2015.it/for-submitters/author-guidelines for more informations. --------------------------------------------------------- General Chair - Enrico Gobbetti, CRS4, Italy Posters Program Co-Chairs - Ross Maciejewski, Arizona State University, USA - Fabio Marton, CRS4, Italy

The successful candidate will contribute to the group's research efforts by developing, applying and evaluating novel feature-based shape analysis methods to support one or more of the above mentioned problems. The methods to be researched are informed by new application needs in domains such as Computer Aided Design and Digital Archeology. The researcher will collaborate with experts from relevant application domains to gather requirements, experimental data, and perform joint evaluation. Our research group offers a pleasant working atmosphere in a motivated, cooperative, and technically very well equipped environment. We offer excellent professional and personal development possibilities, including participation in interesting research projects, a foreign exchange program, and a range of industry contacts. The group is part of the Visual Computing research cluster in Graz, offering an excellent scientific environment. The city of Graz and the Austrian state of Styria offer exceptional quality of living. Requirements We are looking for a highly motivated member for our research team with a Master degree in Computer Science or a related field. Candidates have a background in Visual Computing techniques and are motivated to take on basic research challenges in the areas described above, and demonstrate the novelty and effectiveness of their methods by experimental evaluation and application. Practical programming skills in Java, C++ or other suitable language are required. Applicants are fluent in English and enjoy collaborative work in an international environment.
