EuroVis 2018 Short Paper Track
Call for Papers
Deadline: March 2, 2018, 23:59 GMT
----------------------------------
For the seventh time, EuroVis 2018 (June 4-8, 2018, Brno, Czech Republic)
features a short paper track to present late-breaking results,
work-in-progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing
methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage double-blind
process by an international program committee. They will be electronically
archived in the EG Digital Library and are fully citable publications. All
accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference.
A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research
contribution, and is likely to have a smaller - yet still significant -
scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same
paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics.
The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to
full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may
be suitable for short papers:
* A new visualization technique or system, with evidence of its utility
compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to
assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without
exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation).
* An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization
technique or system with convincing evaluation.
* An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system.
* A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that
helps in understanding its limitations.
* A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a
significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the
implementation).
* A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that
has demonstrable benefits for the visualization community (without extensive
evaluation of the methodology).
Submission Information
----------------------
Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 pages, with an
additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original
works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings,
magazine, journal, or edited book.
For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions, please refer to
the guidelines in the Submitter Area on the conference web page at
http://www.eurovis2018.org/submitters-short-papers/. Note that the LaTeX
submission template for short papers is included in that for full papers and
can be found also on the short paper submission instructions linked above.
For any questions concerning short paper submissions, please contact the
co-chairs: short(a)eurovis2018.org

"Workshop on Molecular Graphics and Visual Analysis of Molecular Data"
(co-located with EuroVis 2018), June 4, 2018, Brno, Czech Republic
************************************************************************
Molecular visualization is one of the oldest branches of scientific
visualization, which has been developing for over 50 years. Due to the
continuous advances in both computational biology and computer graphics
techniques, molecular graphics and visualization are still very active areas
of research. Not only the ever-increasing dataset sizes yield a constant
challenge for visual analysis, but also new technologies like advances in
web-based graphics or augmented and virtual reality open new possibilities.
In this half-day workshop, which is held for the first time in conjunction
with EuroVis, we would like to initiate a multidisciplinary meeting which
brings visualization researchers together working with molecular data.
Whereas molecular graphics is an established topic since many years, the
hybrid-dimensional visual analysis of molecular structures is still a quite
new research field with a lot of potential. We would like to encourage
submissions especially using new technologies, such as immersive
analytics-related approaches.
We invite short papers as well as full papers (2-4 pages for short and up to
8 pages for full papers, both with an additional page reserved for
references). All papers will undergo a single-stage, double-blind peer
review process. Accepted papers will be published in the EG digital library.
The workshop will be held in Brno, Czech Republic, June 4th, 2018 as part of
EuroVis 2018.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Molecular Graphics
- Visual Analysis of Molecular Data (e.g., molecular structures, biological
networks and pathways, or omics data)
- Visualization of Dynamic Molecular Data
- Visualization of Large Molecular Systems
- Web-based Molecular Graphics and Visualization
- Immersive Analytics approaches using, e.g., VR/AR technologies

EuroVis 2018 Posters Track
Call for Posters
Deadline: April 4, 2018, 23:59 GMT
EuroVis 2018 (4-8 June 2018, in Brno, Czech Republic) features a posters
track. The posters track will present late-breaking results, work in
progress, and follow-up extensions, application case studies, 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.
Submission Instructions
We solicit poster submissions in the form of a sketch (i.e., an extended
abstract of at most 2 pages in the EuroVis poster format, with an additional
page allowed for references only).We strongly encourage the submission of
additional materials. For example, you can submit an additional PDF (without
any page limit) that contains a number of example results, screenshots, an
interaction sequence, etc. The poster draft can also be added as additional
material (but is not mandatory for the submission). Finally, submissions can
also include supplementary material such as videos or executable programs.
In particular for interactive tools/approaches, a digital video is essential
and thus strongly encouraged to allow the reviewers to assess the
interactive aspects.
Poster sketches are to be submitted using the Precision Conference System (
<http://new.precisionconference.com/> PCS).
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 (less
than one-minute) summary of their poster content at the opening preview
session (also called fast-forward).
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.
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, without being considered self-plagiarism.
For detailed poster preparation and submission instructions please refer to
the submission guidelines (http://eurovis2018.org/submitters-posters/).
Important Dates
* April 04, 2018: Submission deadline
* April 23, 2018: Notification of acceptance
* April 27, 2018: Camera-ready version
All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT.

contribution, and is likely to have a smaller - yet still significant -
scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same
paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics.
The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to
full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may
be suitable for short papers:
* A new visualization technique or system, with evidence of its utility
