CALL FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORTS
All accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum
Important Upcoming Dates
Submission of STAR sketch (two pages +references+bibliography): October 9,
2016
Invitation for full STAR submission: October 30, 2016
Submission of full STAR: January 26, 2017
EuroVis 2017 is the 19th annual scientific gathering on visualization
jointly organized by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization
and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. EuroVis 2017
will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from June 12th till June the 16th, 2017
Like last year, all accepted EuroVis 2017 STAR reports will be published in
Computer Graphics Forum. State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) are intended to
provide up-to-date and comprehensive surveys on topics of interest to the
visualization research community. We encourage the submission of STARs on
topics that have not yet been covered in any recent previous STAR or other
survey. We welcome submissions that introduce emerging technologies, as
well as proposals on more traditional visualization topics. We also welcome
contributions from related disciplines and application areas demonstrating
contributions to, or benefits from, the area of visualization including, but
not limited to, visual computing, computer graphics, human-computer
interaction, virtual reality, image processing, computer vision, psychology,
geography, chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, data analysis,
computational sciences, medicine, biology, economy, politology, etc.
As part of the acceptance process into Computer Graphics Forum, STARs will
undergo a multi-stage process. First, authors are being asked to submit an
initial sketch by October 9, 2016. A STAR sketch briefly describes the
planned STAR by outlining the topic, discussing its relevance for the
visualization community, providing the planned structure and outline of the
STAR together with all key references, and short biographies of the authors.
The length of a STAR sketch main text is limited to two page. References and
short biographies are considered extra pages and are not counted within the
two page limit. Bibliographies should be limited to 200 words per author.
The format of the sketch can be found at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es>
http://eurovis2017.virvig.es. STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR IPC
and comments on suitability and relevance will be provided by October 30,
2016. Authors will then be required to submit a full STAR. Full STAR
submissions will then undergo a single blind, double cycle review, similar
to the one for regular papers submitted to Computer Graphics Forum, where
three external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. Full
submissions are 25 pages maximum. To demonstrate the relevant expertise
needed to produce the proposed STAR, authors are required to submit the
brief biographies of all authors as a piece of supplementary materials.
Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and
will be conducted using <https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/>
https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ according to the guidelines defined
at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es> http://eurovis2017.virvig.es
We plan to schedule each STAR as a 40-100 minute presentation as in
Eurographics conferences (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis
2017 program). In any circumstance, a STAR presentation will always be given
a longer time slot than that for a full paper.
For any questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs
co-chairs: ev2017-star(a)cs.upc.edu.

Submission
Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory and will be conducted using
the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2017> 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_2017/Instruction> The publication
guidelines and LaTeX templates are available on SRMv2. Accepted papers must
be presented orally in English at Eurographics 2017. Review of full papers
is based on 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.
Note that CGF has a general recommendation for full technical papers, i.e.,
up to 10 pages (in CGF latex style including all images but excluding
references). Meanwhile CGF and EG2017 do not impose strict maximum lengths.
However, 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 stating that the scientific
contribution of their work is original: this means that no paper with
similar results has been published, or is submitted for consideration at
another venue during the review period of Eurographics 2017. 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, and Prizes
* The reviews will be made available to the authors on December 1st,
2016. During a rebuttal period from December 1st to December 6th, 2016,
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 23rd, 2016.
* Revised versions of the papers conditionally accepted in the first
round must be submitted by January 18th, 2017.

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 conference includes entertaining cultural and social events
that foster casual and friendly interactions among the participants.
We have assembled a strong set of papers for the conference:
<https://mig2016.inria.fr/program/> https://mig2016.inria.fr/program/
We also have an incredible set of keynote speakers. Simon Clavet from
Ubisoft will discuss game animation, Michiel van de Panne from the
University of British Columbia will discuss physics-based animation and Mark
Walsh of Motional A.i., and formerly from Pixar, will discuss effective use
of story and animation. <https://mig2016.inria.fr/invited-speakers/>

/// VMV 2016 - Call for Participation
/// <http://vmv2016.uni-bayreuth.de/> http://vmv2016.uni-bayreuth.de/
We invite you to Bayreuth, Germany, to participate in the 21st International
Symposium on Vision, Modeling and Visualization (VMV 2016). It takes place
at the University of Bayreuth from October 10-12, 2016. The early bird
registration deadline is coming up soon (September 11).
We compiled an exciting program with over 20 technical papers, two poster
tracks (see below for details), and three keynotes:
* Eduard Gröller (TU Wien): Visual Data Exploration
* Kai Hormann (Università Della Svizzera Italiana): Generalized Barycentric
Coordinates
* Robert Hoffmeister (Milkroom Studios GmbH): VR & AR: From Research to the
Search for Content and Markets
The festival city of Bayreuth is world-famous for its annual Richard Wagner
music festival. The baroque architecture is impressive, some of which has
been recently added to UNESCO's World Heritage list. The presence of over
13.000 students at the University of Bayreuth ensures an active nightlife.
The VMV Symposium series is a well-established international symposium
covering the fields of computer graphics, computer vision, visualization,
and visual analytics. VMV offers researchers the opportunity to discuss a
wide range of different topics within an open and interdisciplinary
environment.
As in previous years, the proceedings will be published in cooperation with
Eurographics. Extended versions of the three best papers will be invited to
Computer Graphics Forum.

POSTER TRACKS
In addition to the papers track, we offer a student posters track as well as
a special "nectar track".
Standard Posters Track
BSc and MSc students are encouraged to submit a poster abstract related to
any area in computer graphics, computer vision, and visualization.
Example works include, but are not limited to student projects as well as
bachelor and masters theses.
Nectar Track
We offer a special poster session for participants who do not present an
accepted paper at VMV 2016. For those people, we offer a small number of
high-profile slots in which they can display a poster that describes one of
their best conference or journal publications within the last two years that
they would like to share and discuss with the VMV 2016 participants. The
goal of the nectar poster session is to provide a compact overview of
important scientific advances that the VMV community has published
elsewhere.
See you soon in Bayreuth,
