Call for Papers: EuroVis Workshop on Trustworthy Visualization (formerly EuroRVVV)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Dear Colleagues, You are kindly invited to contribute to the EuroVis Workshop on Trustworthy Visualization (TrustVis). TrustVis, formerly known as EuroRVVV, will be held as a co-located event with EuroVis 2019 on June 3rd in Porto, Portugal. /// EuroVis Workshop on Trustworthy Visualization /// <http://www.eurovis.org/> http://www.eurorvvv.org/ TrustVis is a continuation of the EuroRVVV workshop, which was held six times in conjunction with EuroVis and IEEE VIS. TrustVis includes the topics covered by EuroRVVV Reproducibility, Verification, and Validation in visualization and also widens the scope. We use the term trust in a broad sense. As a user, trust in a visualization might mean that: * It shows the numbers I know from my spreadsheets (a common use case in industry) * I understand how it is showing the data and I know how to interpret it (HCI, perception, etc.) * It shows results that I can verify or validate by some means (verification, validation) * It employs methods that are based on sound research (reproducibility of research) * If I get sued for a decision I make based on this, I will be able to use it as evidence that I did nothing wrong (reproducibility of decisions) * It shows me the limits of what my data and/or models can provide (uncertainty) Topics we are looking for in the TrustVis workshop include, but are not limited to: * Verification and validation in visualization * Reproducibility of visualization methods and decision making * Ways to improve trust in visualization * Uncertainty visualization * Ways to attack visualization (adversarial visualization) We welcome short paper contributions, which will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international program committee. They will be electronically archived in the Eurographics Digital Library and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the TrustVis track should be no longer than 4 pages for the main content, plus one page for references. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop. Besides regular short papers, we also welcome short position papers, where authors have an opportunity to state opinions, present controversial arguments, show on-going work, or share thoughts for future directions. Important Dates: *Paper Submission Deadline*: March 7, 2019 Acceptance Notification: April 10, 2019 Camera-ready Deadline: April 24, 2019 Workshop Date: June 3, 2019 Further details, including the call for papers and submission instructions (coming soon), can be found at <http://trustvis.org/> http://trustvis.org/ The TrustVis 2019 Organizers Robert Kosara // Tableau Software, United States Kai Lawonn // University of Koblenz Landau, Germany Lars Linsen // University of Münster, Germany Noeska Smit // University of Bergen, Norway If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via <mailto:chairs@trustvis.org> chairs(a)trustvis.org Further details, including the call for paper below, can be found at <http://trustvis.org/> http://trustvis.org/

For this year's challenge, we aim to explore new and updated tracks. Therefore, the participants are invited to have an active role in the organization of the event. This includes proposing track themes, building or acquiring a test collection, and deciding upon the queries, relevance assessment, and performance measures. The participants of each track will collectively write a paper, which will be published in the proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop 3D Object Retrieval. At least one author per track must register for the workshop, and present the results. We also cordially invite all participants of a track to register and attend the workshop.

ACM/EG Expressive 2019 - Call for Submissions - Extended Deadline

by eurographics＠eg.org

ACM/EG Expressive 2019 Call for Submissions <http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/> http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/ Paper deadline: February 21, 2019 March 3, 2019 Acceptance by: March 21, 2019 Camera-ready: April 5, 2019 Symposium: May 5-6, 2019 Artworks/posters/demos by: Rolling notification, closes March 15, 2019 The Expressive symposium explores the capacity of computer graphics, animation, and computational media to be used in artistic, aesthetic, and creative ways. The field can be seen as encompassing problems in expressive understanding, expressive communication, and expressive interaction: * Expressive understanding integrates aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied, and performing arts, investigating theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. * Expressive communication focuses on imagery and motion which is expressive rather than photorealistic, although it may incorporate realistic elements. * Expressive interaction explores models, algorithms, and technologies for sketch-based interfaces, particularly classifying and recognizing hand-drawn shapes as a way to create or edit digital models, text, mathematics, or 3D shapes. <http://expressive.graphics/2019> Expressive 2019 will take place in Genova, Italy, May 5-6, 2019 co-located with <https://www.eurographics2019.it/> Eurographics 2019 in Genova. Expressive technical papers will be submitted, evaluated, and presented in a single, unified track. This unification reflects the ongoing evolution of the symposium, which originated as the union of three separate events: Computational Aesthetics (CAe), Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR), and Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM). The symposium will also include an arts program, posters and demos, and presentations of published journal articles. <http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/#call-for-papers> > Call for Papers <http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/#call-for-posters-and-demos> > Call for Posters and Demos <http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/#call-for-artworks--generative- chronicles> > Call for Artworks <http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/#call-for-journal-presentations > > Call for Journal Presentation _____ General Co-Chairs: Joaquim Jorge, Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal Lyn Bartram, Simon Fraser University, Canada Chiara Eva Catalano, Institute for Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies, Italy Program Co-Chairs: Craig Kaplan, University of Waterloo, Canada Angus Forbes, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA Stephen DiVerdi, Adobe Research, USA Arts Program Co-Chairs: Daniel Berio, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK Pedro Cruz, Northeastern University, USA Posters and Demo Chair: Jose Echevarria, Adobe Research, USA Publicity Chair: Amir Semmo, Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam,Germany

SHREC'19 track Matching Humans with Different Connectivity

by eurographics＠eg.org

/We apologize for multiple messages/ This is to invite you to participate in the following tracks of SHREC'19: SHREC'19 track Matching Humans with Different Connectivity SHREC'19 track: why connectivity? Although recent publications in the field of shape analysis achieve high-quality results in point-to-point matching, their quantitative evaluations have been performed only on meshes that share the connectivity. The aim of this track is to evaluate the performance of the automatic algorithms or signatures for point-to-point matching when the shapes to be matched have different connectivity. We consider the concurrent presence of 1) different meshing, 2) rigid transformation in 3D space, 3) non-rigid deformations, 4) different vertex density, ranging from 5K to more than 50K, and 5) topological changes induced by mesh glueing in areas of contact. The correspondence between these shapes is obtained through the recently proposed registration pipeline FARM (FARM: Functional automatic registration method for 3D human bodies, Marin et al, arxiv 2018). For further information see: <http://profs.scienze.univr.it/~marin/shrec19> http://profs.scienze.univr.it/~marin/shrec19 Best regards, Simone Melzi, Riccardo Marin, Emanuele Rodolà and Umberto Castellani.
