Expressive 2018: Submission deadlines extended

by eurographics＠eg.org

-=[ Expressive 2018 ]=- !!! Submission deadlines extended !!! === Call for Papers We would like to invite you to submit your work to Expressive 2018. Being at the forefront of expressive rendering research since 2012, Expressive 2018 (http://expressive.graphics/2018) will take place in Victoria, Canada, August 17-19, 2018 - shortly after SIGGRAPH 2018 (http://s2018.siggraph.org/) in Vancouver. A single registration for Expressive 2018 will include all three workshops. Invited talks and artists talks will be shared among the workshops and sessions will be mixed. The submission, review, and publication process for the event will be handled jointly across the three conferences. Expressive is a joint Symposium featuring the following workshops: * Computational Aesthetics (CAe) * Non-photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) * Sketch-based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM) Each paper submission should be designated as belonging to one of the three tracks. === Important dates for technical papers: * Abstract submission deadline (EXTENDED): *** April 11, 2018 *** * Paper submission deadline (EXTENDED): *** April 17, 2018 *** * Acceptance notification: May 8, 2018 * Camera-ready submission: June 5, 2018 All deadlines are at 23:59:59 UTC/GMT. === Computational Aesthetics (CAe) Computational Aesthetics integrates the bridging aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. CAe investigates both tools to enhance the expressiveness of fine and applied arts, as well as theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. === Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering investigates computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually focuses on imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. === Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling focuses on the exploration of models, algorithms, and technologies for efficient sketch-based interfaces. It investigates the classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, text, mathematics or 3D shapes. === Submission Types Paper submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Expressive. We welcome papers in several categories: * Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional academic papers). These must contain novel results that make a substantive contribution to the field. * Production: candid discussion of the process of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or art tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library). We are equally interested in papers on the use of existing techniques combined in novel ways, or applying them in a new or unusual context. * Meta: statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art / aesthetics / psychophysics for a computer science audience. We welcome papers that discuss the challenges of bridging computational expression across disciplines. Accepted papers will be published as a single conference proceedings by the ACM and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Papers will also be archived in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their manuscripts to be considered for publication in a special section of Computers & Graphics journal (Elsevier) via a fast-track review process. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life) * Simulation of natural media, traditional styles, and novel artistic styles * Analysis of image style and saliency (paintings, photographs, others) * Visualization techniques * Simplification and abstraction techniques (e.g. sketching, indication) * Empirically-based metrics of aesthetic attributes * Applied visual perception * Interaction techniques (e.g. sketch, gestural, multi-touch, multi-modal) * Sketch-parsing, classification and recognition * Novel interfaces for art creation, modeling, control, sketch input, etc. * Study designs and methodologies for evaluating and validating sketch-based systems, aesthetic metrics, visual communication systems, etc. * Advanced rendering techniques (e.g. volumetric, GPU, mobile, multi-modal) * Applications in special domains: Medicine, Geology, Biology, Sociology, etc. * Sketch-based information retrieval * Stylistic or aesthetic aspects of character animation and simulated physics * Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films, digital art) or applications in software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) * Visual composition * Design, rendering, and evaluation of layouts for text and presentation graphics * Example-based style transfer * Temporal and spatial coherence * Aesthetic evaluation and stylistic rendering of visual effects such as motion blur, depth of field, and lighting * Non-traditional camera models === Submission Information All work must be previously unpublished. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results, but must make a substantive contribution to the knowledge in the field. Papers should be 8-10 pages in length (excluding citations). Papers longer than 10 pages must make a very significant contribution. Paper submission is electronic using the EasyChair system. For detailed instructions to submit papers, posters, videos and other materials, please view the submission instructions. Please also consult the conference webpage for detailed submission instructions for general submissions and journal presentations, in addition to technical papers: http://expressive.graphics/2018/submissions/ Best Regards, Tunc Aydin, Expressive 2018 Paper Chair Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland Daniel Sykora, Expressive 2018 Paper Chair Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic Li Ji, Organization Chair University of Victoria, Canada

Extended deadline EuroVis 2018 Posters Track

by eurographics＠eg.org

Extended deadline EuroVis 2018 Posters Track Call for Posters Deadline: (April 4) April 11, 2018, 23:59 GMT Due to multiple requests from prospective authors, the deadline for submissions of poster proposals for EuroVis 2018 has been extended from Wednesday 4 April to Wednesday 11 April 2018. 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 (PCS <http://new.precisionconference.com/> ). 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/> http://eurovis2018.org/submitters-posters/). Important Dates * April 11, 2018: Submission deadline * April 23, 2018: Notification of acceptance * April 27, 2018: Camera-ready version All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT. EuroVis General Chair: Barbora Kozlikova (Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic) Poster Program Co-Chairs: Anna Puig (Universitat de Barcelona, Spain), Renata Raidou (TU Wien, Austria)

by eurographics＠eg.org

_________________________________________________________________________________ ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Symposium on Computer Animation http://sca2018.inria.fr <http://sca2018.inria.fr/> _________________________________________________________________________________ Final Call for Papers The papers deadline is appraching fast! You can submit your papers by April 9, 2018 – 23:59 UTC. We also want to highlight again that all accepted submissions will be published at the CGF journal this year. As a consequence, there will be a strict 10-page limit for content (plus references). Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 18. Posters Program We also invite submissions to the poster and demo session, which has traditionally been an integral part of the SCA program. The poster session will follow a posters fast-forward session during which all presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-to-two minute description of their work. Additionally, a best paper award will be given to the top poster! Posters will be included in the ACM and EG digital libraries. Note however that as usual, a SCA poster does not preclure subsequent publication of a complete paper on the same topic by the same authors (however, a SCA poster by other authors is considered prior art and should be cited as such). We encourage any of the following types of poster submissions: - Up and coming computer animation research - Technically novel production work - Lab overviews which present a snapshot of the ongoing animation-related research at a given institution - Half-baked ideas and negative results - Work done outside of SCA that would be of interest to the computer animation community. This includes animation-related works recently accepted to other conferences such as I3D or NPAR. Poster Submissions - Submission website (https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SCA_2018) - SCA will be using the Eurographics / Computer Graphics Forum template style (https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SCA_2018/GetConferenceFile?fileID=8640) - Submission deadline: May 28, 2018 – 23:59 UTC Submission Instructions Poster submissions must be camera-ready, with author names and affiliations listed. The review process will be single blind. Poster abstracts should consist of a PDF formatted paper according to the Eurographics / Computer Graphics Forum publication style given above. As last year, poster abstracts are permitted to be up to two pages in length. Posters should be written and presented in English. Supplementary material such as videos may also be submitted electronically and will be made available to reviewers. Finally, we also encourage the authors to submit a draft of the poster of size A0 in PDF as supplementary material. Poster abstracts will be included in the ACM and EG Digital Libraries, thus providing a better and longstanding referencing to such works. Fast Forward Slide Authors of accepted posters will be required to provide a short video describing their work for the Poster Fast Forward session. Video guidelines will be provided to presenters. Oral Presentation For the final presentation, videos and interactive demonstrations are highly encouraged. We will provide electrical outlets and tables so that authors can display such demonstrations using their own equipment. About SCA The 17th annual Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) will be held in Paris in France, July 11-13, and the symposium will be hosted at the "Maison des Mines" in the center of Paris. SCA is the premier forum for innovations in the software and technology of computer animation. It unites researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of time-based phenomena. Our focused, intimate gathering, with single track program and emphasis on community interaction, makes SCA the best venue to exchange research results, get inspired, and set up collaborations.
