ACM/EG Expressive 2019 — Call for Submissions
http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/
Paper deadline: February 21, 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.

The Department of Computer Science of the Dortmund University of Technology,
Germany, is seeking for a Full Professor (W3) in Computer Graphics. Details
are available in the attachment.
The 18th annual Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) will take place in
sunny Los Angeles, California from July 26 to July 28, 2019, immediately
before SIGGRAPH. For almost two decades now, SCA has been the premier forum
for presenting innovations in the theory and practice of computer animation.
Bringing together academic and industrial researchers and practitioners
working in all aspects of time-based phenomena, SCA provides an intimate
setting that encourages community interaction, promotes the exchange of
research results, inspires future ideas, and establishes new collaborations.
Conditionally accepted regular papers will undergo a second round of
revision and will, upon approval, appear in the new journal Proceedings of
the ACM on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (PACMCGIT). Best
Paper Awards will be given to excellent submissions that push the leading
edge. New this year, we are also excited to introduce SCA Sketches, which
provides a forum to present and discuss your late-breaking, innovative, and
thought-provoking animation ideas and work-in-progress at SCA.
Website: <https://sca2019.kaist.ac.kr/> https://sca2019.kaist.ac.kr/
We invite work on a broad range of animation topics, including:
2D, 3D, and N-D animation systems
Autonomous characters
Clothing and hair animation and simulation
Expressive motion / communication
Facial animation
Fabrication of dynamic objects and characters
Group and crowd behavior
Intuitive interfaces for creating and editing animations
Mathematical foundations of animation
Methods of control and artistic direction of simulations
Nature in motion (natural phenomena, plants, clouds, .)
New time-based art forms on the computer
Novel time-varying phenomena
Perceptual foundations and metrics for animation
Physical realism / measuring the real world for animation
Physical simulation
Fluid animation
Planning / learning / optimization for animation
Real-time and interactive methods
Camera control methods for computer animation
Sound and speech for animation
as well as related problems and techniques in robotics, game development,
human-computer interaction, simulation, visualization, computer vision, and
beyond.
Regular Papers:
We invite submissions of original, high-quality papers on computer
animation, broadly defined as computation dealing with time-varying
phenomena. Each submission should be 7-10 pages in length and will be
reviewed by an international program committee for technical quality,
novelty, significance, and clarity. All conditionally accepted regular
papers will be guaranteed a presentation slot and to appear in the SCA
proceedings. They will then undergo a thorough second round of revision and
review, and (conditional on final acceptance) be published in the new
journal Proceedings of the ACM in Computer Graphics and Interactive
Techniques (PACMCGIT). In the case that a paper fails to pass the second
review round, authors retain the option to withdraw the paper or exclude it
from the conference/proceedings, if requested.
Posters:
As in previous years, the poster (1-2 pages) session will be an integral
part of the SCA program. The poster session will be held prior to the
reception Friday evening and will follow a posters fast-forward session
during which all presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-minute
description of their work. Posters will be included in the conference
proceedings and the ACM and EG digital libraries.
Sketches (NEW!):
We also invite sketch submissions (in 2-4 pages) for quick dissemination of
fresh, compact ideas. These submissions will also undergo a full review by
the program committee, but with greater emphasis placed on novelty and
potential future impact over polish or completeness. Accepted submissions
will be presented during the symposium. Sketches can be freely published in
other venues because they will not be archived in any journal, conference
proceedings, or digital libraries. We hope that feedback from reviewers and
attendees will help to improve your work for a future paper submission!

CALL FOR SHORT PAPERS
<http://www.eurovis.org/short-papers/> http://www.eurovis.org/short-papers/
Due: February 28, 2019
Notification: March 31, 2019
EuroVis 2019 features a short paper track to present late-breaking
visualization research results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions
or evaluations of existing methods. All accepted short papers (4 pages) will
be presented orally at the conference. Please submit your work to the Short
Papers program!
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.
For detailed submission instructions, please see:

3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series
Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. Also, a new wave of information is underway: low-cost 3D scanners, 3D printers, and powerful modelling software have made 3D models appeal to an increasing audience. Repositories of 3D objects are rapidly growing in both number and size. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D repositories and retrieving the models of interest remains a challenging problem. It is crucial to develop algorithms for content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for databases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance, such as the definition of the similarity concept; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms; new challenges such as faceted 3D browsing, social search, and navigation of hybrid datasets. The complex yet concrete problems above are drawing increasing attention from the research community.
The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on or are interested in 3D object retrieval search and exploration, to present state-of-the-art work in the field or learn about it and participate in discussions. This will provide a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2019 will be the 12th workshop in this series.
***********************************************************
Call for Papers
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers presented in a poster session (up to 4 pages). State of the arts papers on specific topics of interest in the workshop are also welcome and may exceed the 8 pages limit.
All accepted papers will be published in the EG Digital Library.
Extended and revised versions of selected full papers will be considered for publication in a special section of the Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier), based on the reviewers' comments and on the feedback from the 3DOR workshop. The deadline for this special issue will be 6 weeks after the workshop (end of June 2019) and reviewer continuity will be aimed for.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
3D shape analysis
3D shape similarity and matching
3D mesh sequence retrieval
3D mobile media retrieval
3D search in large scale data
3D object classification, indexing, and mining
