CALL FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORTS
Accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum
State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) provide an up-to-date and comprehensive
overview of a special topic of current interest related to Computer
Graphics.
We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS, and
particularly encourage STARs on topics that have not been covered in any
recent previous STAR. 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.
At EUROGRAPHICS 2016, 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.
For any questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs
co-chairs: <mailto:chairs-eg2016stars@eg.org> chairs-eg2016stars(a)eg.org
** Important Dates **
Full STAR submission: September 11, 2015
First review notification: January 8, 2016
Revised STAR submission: February 12, 2016
Second review notification: March 11, 2016
Final STAR submission: March 25, 2016
** Submission Details **
This year, STARs will undergo a single blind, double cycle review, similar
to the one for regular papers. Hence, there is no need to prepare a STAR
proposal first, and the full-length STAR with no more than 25 pages must be
submitted before the submission deadline.
Each STAR will be reviewed by three members of the IPC who are experts in
the respective topic. Accepted STARs will be published in a special issue of
Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before the Eurographics
conference. Submissions needing a major revision will be transferred to the
standard submission track of Computer Graphics Forum.
Brief biographies of the authors should be included in the submission,
demonstrating their qualification to produce the proposed STAR.
Electronic submission of STARs is mandatory and will be conducted using the
EG Submission and Review Management System (
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2016STARs>
https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2016STARs).
The deadline for the submission of STAR proposals is 23:59 UTC/GMT,
September 11, 2015, with notification of conditional acceptance on January
8, 2016. The revised version of conditionally accepted STARs will have to be
submitted at a later date for a second review, and the camera ready version
will be due about 6 weeks before the start of the conference.

The Eurographics 2016 Technical Papers Program will showcase innovative
research in Computer Graphics and related areas. We invite submissions of
new ideas, and encourage all forms of research creativity and originality.
We are interested in practice, experience, novel applications, technological
or theoretical papers, with the ambition of setting the standard in the
field and stimulating future trends.
Accepted full papers will be presented at Eurographics 2016 and published in
a special issue of the Eurographics journal Computer Graphics Forum.
Therefore, submissions will undergo a two-step review process. We encourage
submissions from all areas related to computer graphics, including but not
limited to rendering, modeling, animation, simulation, visualization,
virtual and augmented reality, display technology, image processing, visual
computing, computer-aided fabrication, human-computer interaction, and
related disciplines.
Submission Dates
A preliminary abstract is due by 23:59 GMT, Friday, September 18, 2015, and
the full paper deadline is 23:59 GMT, Friday, September 25, 2015. Note that
a full paper can only be submitted if an abstract has been submitted by the
abstract deadline.
Submission
Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory and will be conducted using
the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference%2fEG_2015>
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference%2fEG_2015> Submission and Review
Management (SRMv2) system. Papers must be written in English, must be
anonymized, and must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer
Graphics Forum guidelines.
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2015/Instruction> The publication
guidelines and LaTeX templates are available on SRMv2. Accepted papers must
be presented orally in English at Eurographics 2016. This event uses a
double-blind reviewing approach, so please be sure to remove all personal
data (such as authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. References
to your own work should be made in the third person to maintain anonymity.
Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for
evaluation. Non anonymous submissions will be rejected without review.
Note that this year, there is no arbitrary maximum length imposed on papers.
Papers should only be as long as they need to be, but not longer. Reviewers
might rank submissions perceived as being either repetitive or unnecessarily
long, lower than they would score concisely written papers.
Double Submission Policy
Authors are required to include a declaration that they have not previously
published the scientific contribution claimed in their paper, nor has it
been submitted to or is currently under review in any other conference or
journal before or during the Eurographics 2016 Technical Papers review
period. Any paper that does not adhere to these requirements will be
rejected without review.
Re-Submitted Material
For papers that have previously been reviewed by other venues and have been
rejected or withdrawn, the authors are encouraged to provide a cover letter
to describe the history of the paper (however, this does not imply reviewer
continuity). This cover letter can also answer the comments made in the
previous reviews, by either listing the changes that were made to comply
with them, or discussing/rebutting/clarifying some elements if need be.
Though not mandatory, this procedure is strongly encouraged. The cover
letter has to be submitted through SRM as an ‘Additional Attachment’ (see
last section of the SRM upload form for details).
Rebuttal, Notification, Publication & Prizes
● The reviews will be made available to the authors on November 13,
2015. During a rebuttal period from November 13 to November 18, 2015 authors
will be able to submit a brief document to address any factual errors or
clarify any issues raised by reviews.
● The date for notification of the results of the first round of the
review process is December 5, 2015.
● Revised versions of the papers conditionally accepted in the first
round must be submitted by December 31, 2015. The final notification of the
outcome of the second reviewing round will be made on January 15, 2016. The
camera-ready version of accepted papers will be due on January 31, 2016.
● From all accepted and presented papers, an international jury will
select the best papers. The best paper will receive the Günter Enderle
Award, including a cash prize of 1000 Euros, presented at Eurographics 2016.
