Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2016: CALL FOR PAPERS

by eurographics＠eg.org

Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2016 CALL FOR PAPERS The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2016 will take place in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, over 22-24 June 2016. This 27th event continues the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia and Workshops on rendering. It will be co-located with Eurographics High Performance Graphics, which will be held 20-22 June 2016. With the success of the last year's submission process, the "Experimental Ideas & Implementations" track will be maintained in addition to the traditional EGSR papers track (the "CGF track"). Authors will have the choice of submitting their work to the CGF track, the experimental track, or both. The CGF submission track will remain as is, continuing the long tradition of disseminating state-of-the-art scientific results in rendering and related fields. Accepted papers in this track will be published as an issue of Computer Graphics Forum after a full peer review, including a rebuttal and a second review cycle. The "Experimental Ideas & Implementations" conference-papers track has as an explicit goal to solicit submissions that describe either exciting new ideas that have not yet been validated according to the high academic standard of the CGF track, or interesting implementation issues for known algorithms in industry-scale uses. The requirements on comparisons to related work, citations, and quality of results are relaxed in exchange for key questions such as the following. Is the idea stimulating and interesting? Would it spark discussion and give valuable insights to the rendering community? Papers in this track will undergo full double-blind peer review using its own review form, and will be published in the EGSR conference proceedings series and in the Eurographics Digital Library, but not the CGF journal. There is no rebuttal or second review cycle. Consistent with common practice, authors would have the opportunity to build upon the conference paper, add comparisons and validation, and submit the work to a journal later. Please see below for FAQ regarding the new track. For both tracks, we are looking for work that shapes the future of rendering and related fields. In particular, we encourage submission in the related topics of appearance modeling, virtual/augmented reality, computational displays, fabrication, and hardware architectures. Neither track imposes a fixed maximum paper length. However, submissions over 12 pages in length will be treated as exceptional cases, and length must be proportional to contribution. If a paper is submitted to both tracks, the reviewers will be initially left oblivious of this fact. Of those papers rejected from the CGF track, the chairs at their discretion may select the strongest of those papers and submit them for an accelerated review to EI&I. Core conference topics include (but are not limited to): Global illumination Real-time and offline rendering Acquisition, modeling, and manipulation of light transport & appearance Realistic, non-photorealistic, 2D, and 3D image processing & synthesis Mathematical techniques for image synthesis Computational photography/optics/displays Image synthesis for augmented or virtual reality Software and hardware systems/architectures for rendering Audio/sound rendering Important dates (applying to both CGF and EI&I tracks unless specifically indicated): Abstract deadline Monday 28 March 2016 Papers deadline Friday 1 April 2016 Reviews due Wednesday 4 May 2016 Rebuttal due Monday 9 May 2016 (CGF track) Author notification Tuesday 17 May 2016 Final papers due Tuesday 24 May 2016 Final notification Friday 27 May 2016 (CGF track) All times are 23:59 (midnight) UTC. More information can be found on the conference webpage: http://egsr2016.scss.tcd.ie We hope to see you and your work in Dublin! Elmar Eisemann Eugene Fiume EGSR 2016 papers chairs Frequently Asked Questions about the Experimental Ideas & Implementations Track Q: What's the process with the extended journal version? A: Once you have a paper accepted in the new track and published in the conference proceedings, many journals, CGF included, apply the rule by which adding 30% new material and addressing any major issues that had precluded journal publication would qualify the revised paper for consideration in the journal. The authors should indicate the nature of the submission in a cover letter. In addition, the EGSR papers committee and CGF editors may, at their discretion, invite select papers from the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track to a fast-track second review cycle in Computer Graphics Forum. Q: Why would I submit to both tracks? A: Should the committee decide your paper is not, in the form it was submitted, suitable for the CGF track, it could then be forwarded to the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track by the paper chairs. You, the author, get a paper, valuable feedback, visibility for your ideas, and the possibility of later extending your work into a journal paper if the work is accepted in this second track. However, if you feel your contribution clearly falls within the scope of the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track but not the CGF track, please only submit to the former. This makes the job of the reviewers and the committee easier, which is of particular importance because the review schedule is tight. Q: What if my paper includes interesting system and implementation details but less algorithmic or mathematical novelty? A: We would love to consider your work for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Q: What if I have an intriguing idea but I have no idea if it works or not, or it only works in a certain special case? A: We would love to consider your paper for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Come present it and we'll all talk about it together. Q: Are Experimental Ideas & Implementations papers presented in separate sessions? A: No. In the spirit of promoting new and interesting ideas, all papers will be presented alongside in sessions that fit their topic.

EuroVis Posters Call for Contributions

by eurographics＠eg.org

====================================== EuroVis Posters Call for Contributions ====================================== 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 reports of collaborative projects, work in progress, and application case studies. We solicit poster submissions in the form of a sketch (i.e., an extended abstract of at most 2 pages, with an additional page allowed for references only, see the template at <http://www.cs.rug.nl/jbi/eurovis2016/uploads/ForSubmitters/EuroVis2016Poste rs_latex2e.zip> http://www.cs.rug.nl/jbi/eurovis2016/uploads/ForSubmitters/EuroVis2016Poster s_latex2e.zip) and an accompanying poster draft. The poster draft can be added as additional material but is not mandatory for the submission. The final posters should be printed on paper no larger than paper size A0 portrait (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm = 33.1 in x 46.8 in, cf. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size). The reviewing will be based primarily on the sketch content. Posters are to be submitted using the SRM submission system at <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EuroVis_2016_Posters> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EuroVis_2016_Posters The posters will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage double-blind process. We expect that the submissions will clearly discuss novel and significant contributions. Accepted posters will be presented at the poster session of the conference. At least one author of an accepted poster must attend the conference to present the work, and authors will also be required to present a brief one-minute summary of their talk at the opening fast forward session. Both a PDF version of the poster and the extended abstract will be included on the conference USB stick and also in the EG digital library with a DOI. However, publication in the EG digital library can be omitted on request. Traditionally, the material in a poster/sketch can later be reused 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 self-plagiarism. However, as posters/sketches are citable, researchers are encouraged to acknowledge novel ideas and results presented in posters/sketches. Important Dates * poster submission deadline: Friday, Apr. 8, 2016, 23:59 GMT * notification: Friday, Apr. 22, 2016 * camera ready materials: Friday, Apr. 29, 2016 For detailed poster preparation and submission instructions, please refer to the author guidelines and submission guidelines of the conference web pages ( <http://www.cs.rug.nl/jbi/eurovis2016/ForSubmitters/Posters> http://www.cs.rug.nl/jbi/eurovis2016/ForSubmitters/Posters).

Call for participation: Motion in Games in Lisbon, just before Eurographics!

by eurographics＠eg.org

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION MOTION IN GAMES in LISBON <https://mig2015.inria.fr/> https://mig2015.inria.fr/ We are calling for participation in our ACM Motion in Games annual symposium which will occur on *** May 7-8 in Lisbon, Portugal *** as a satellite event of Eurographics 2016. The symposium, initially scheduled in Paris in November and cancelled due to the attacks, is re-organized in the lively city of Lisbon, with the great support of Eurographics organisation members as well as ACM. The event will give the opportunity for MIG15 participants to presents their papers, and for MIG and EG participants to enjoy our annual conference program. 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 nowadays 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, and as well as presentations by a selection of internationally renowned speakers in all areas related to games and simulation. The full program is available here: <https://mig2015.inria.fr/files/2016/03/MOTIONINGAMESEG2016-PROGRAM.pdf> https://mig2015.inria.fr/files/2016/03/MOTIONINGAMESEG2016-PROGRAM.pdf Registration rates are really low, especially for students, so don't hesitate. <https://mig2015.inria.fr/registration/> https://mig2015.inria.fr/registration/ See you in Lisbon!
