Call For Papers: Computer Graphics & Visual Computing 2017

by eurographics＠eg.org

COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2017 (CGVC2017) The 35th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 14-15 September 2017, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2017/ The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK working in computer graphics and visual computing. It attracts researchers from across the country and from further afield. The 2017 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on increasing the dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such dialogue, we are seeking contributions mainly in the form of extended abstract and industrial demonstrations. However, we also welcome submissions of full papers. Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research. Papers will be refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will count as full paper publications. Extended abstract - an abstract of up to 1000 words, plus figures and references. An extended abstract can describe work in progress, interim results, industrial work, or research presented more fully elsewhere. Extended abstracts will also be refereed by a panel drawn from the EGUK programme committee. All accepted extended abstracts will be presented as posters in a poster session and authors of selected submissions will also be expected to give a 15 minute presentation at the conference. Industrial project abstracts - a technical abstract of 1 to 4 pages, demonstrating implementations and/or product development. Technical abstracts will be presented at the conference site as large format posters during a poster session. Accepted abstracts will appear in the Eurographics digital library. An extended abstract and industrial project abstract will not be considered as a full paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. See full instruction at the conference website. Topics include but are not limited to: ● Computer animation and image-based animation ● Computer-based arts and entertainment ● Vision-based techniques and image processing ● Acquisition and reconstruction techniques ● Graphics architectures and acceleration hardware ● Medical imaging ● Multimedia visualisation ● Computer Games ● Rendering techniques ● Scientific visualization and big data ● Information visualization and visual analytics ● Augmented reality and collaborative environments ● Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices ● Human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics ● Modelling methods Important Dates: Submission Deadline Notification of Acceptance Camera Ready Conference 16 June 2017 14 July 2017 4 August 2017 14-15 September 2017 Conference co-chairs: Dr Tao Ruan Wan, Bradford University, UK, Dr Franck Vidal, and Bangor University, UK.

New PhD Student Position

by eurographics＠eg.org

Dear colleagues, we are looking for highly motivated candidates for an open PhD position in the National Centre for Computer Animation (NCCA), Faculty of Media and Communication, Bournemouth University, UK. This is a fully-funded 3-year PhD studentship which includes a stipend of £14,000 each year to support living costs. This project "Interactive Hybrid Modelling of Heterogeneous Volumetric Objects" involves the research, design and development of a generic interactive modelling software system oriented to hybrid modelling of heterogeneous volumetric objects. The overall project involves the research and development of new mathematical techniques and algorithms, and the development of novel software tools, possibly including an Application Programming Interface (API), a scripting language and a Graphical User Interface (GUI). An orientation towards the digital fabrication (3D printing) of the produced geometric models is an additional aspect of this research project. The exact scope of the project will be defined taking into account a particular PhD student's interests and skills. This is project relevant to several application areas such Computer-Aided Design (CAD), computer simulation and animation, additive manufacturing, computer art and cultural heritage preservation. A variety of research problems are to be addressed. Fundamental research concerned with geometric and topological representations of multi-material heterogeneous objects will benefit from new mathematical models and their mapping to data structures and operations. Applied research will benefit from the development of new efficient algorithms for realising and transforming both the geometry and physical properties of volume objects, especially multi-material ones, devising the specialist high-level language, rendering and fabrication algorithms, and system architecture design. The beneficiaries of this project will be CAD and animation system developers, 3D printers production companies, art and design communities, and education. The output of the research in the form of the innovative modelling system will open up new application areas that are impossible to achieve using existing CAD and animation systems. Designers and animators will get easier available tools fine-tuned to their specific styles and facilitating the production of advanced multi-material volume models. Teachers and students will hopefully use the developed tools for learning and exploring mathematical and physical dynamic phenomena. Candidates must demonstrate outstanding academic potential with preferably a 1st class honours degree and/or a Masters degree with distinction or equivalent Grade Point Average. An IELTs (Academic) score of 6.5 minimum (with a minimum 5.5 in each component) is essential for candidates for whom English is not their first language. The direct link to the project description is <https://www1.bournemouth.ac.uk/study/courses/phd-studentship-interactive-hy brid-modelling-heterogeneous-volumetric-objects> https://www1.bournemouth.ac.uk/study/courses/phd-studentship-interactive-hyb rid-modelling-heterogeneous-volumetric-objects.
