====================================================== COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2019 (CGVC2019) The 37th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 12-13 September 2019, Bangor University, UK http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2019/ ====================================================== The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK working in computer graphics and visual computing (including, Computer Graphics and Vision, Information and Scientific Visualization, and Visual Analytics). It attracts researchers from across the country and from further afield. The 2019 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 in the form of full papers, short papers, viewpoint papers and extended abstracts (posters). Optional single-blind or double-blind - reviewers' identities are not revealed. Authors may choose whether to anonymize their submission or not. . Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research, plus an additional page of references. Papers are refereed by members of an international program committee (IPC). Authors of accepted papers are expected to give a 15-20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will serve as full paper publications. . Short papers - The purpose of short papers is 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 process by an international program committee (IPC). They will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 pages, with an additional page allowed for references. Accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 12-15 minute presentations. . Viewpoint Papers (aka. Position paper) - Viewpoint paper track enables researchers a new possibility to publish their ideas. Viewpoints articles offer detailed technical opinions on trends in visual computing or reports on how visual computing has contributed to the comprehension of data or phenomena, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. We encourage discussions of challenges or limitations in today's methods and areas of potential new topics of research. We are also interested in application discussions that focus on, for example, the areas of physical, life or social sciences, engineering, or commerce, or areas related to the process of visual computing in general. We encourage an emphasis on lessons learned from practical experience for application discussions, particularly where visual computing has been employed in a real, working environment. Viewpoint papers are submitted with author names and affiliations (at most 4-pages). Accepted viewpoint papers will be electronically archived, are fully citable publications and will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 12-15 minute presentations. . Extended Abstracts (Poster Papers) - The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions 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. The poster track will be managed by the co-chair team and the International Program Committee (IPC). We solicit poster submissions in the form of an extended abstract of at most 2 pages (with an additional page allowed for references only). Posters will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process. Accepted posters, size A1 recommended, will be presented at the poster viewing session of the conference. In addition to directly submitted posters, some submissions to the full, short and viewpoint paper tracks, that are not accepted for publication but are deemed suitable, will be offered an opportunity to be presented as posters. Such submissions will not require an additional review process. Accepted abstracts (poster papers) do not appear in the Eurographics digital library, and will not be considered as a paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one-page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated full paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract or a poster at the conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. Topics include, but are not limited to: ====================================================== Computer Graphics Visualization Computer Vision Virtual Reality Visual Analytics Visual Data Science Computer Animation Computer-based Arts and Entertainment Image processing Acquisition and Reconstruction Techniques Graphics Architectures and Acceleration Hardware Medical Imaging Multimedia Visualisation Computer Games Rendering Techniques Scientific Visualisation and Big Data Information Visualization and Visual Analytics Geospatial Visualisation Augmented Reality and Collaborative Environments Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices Human Computer Interaction, Robotics, and Haptics Modelling Methods ====================================================== Important Dates: Submission deadline: 21 Jun (Fri) 2019 (extended) Notification of Acceptance: 23 Jul (Tue) 2019 Camera Ready: 10 Aug (Sat) 2019 Conference: 12-13 September 2019 (Thu-Fri) ====================================================== Publication type | Page limit | Accepted publication Full Paper | 4-8 pages, + 1-page refs only | fully citable publication Short Paper | 2-4 pages, + 1-page refs only | fully citable publication Viewpoint Paper (i.e. Position Paper) | 2-4 pages, + 1-page refs only | fully citable publication Extended Abstract (i.e. Poster Paper) | 1-2 pages, + 1-page refs only | not considered as a paper publication ====================================================== Programme Chairs Jonathan C.

VCBM 2019 - Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

VCBM 2019 Call for Papers http://www.vcbm.org/ Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2019 in Brno, Czech Republic *) Workshop Dates: September 4-6, 2019 *) Submission Deadline: June 14, 2019 Aims and Scope EG VCBM (http://www.vcbm.org/), the Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine, is an annual event addressing the state of the art in visual computing research with a strong focus on applications in biology and medicine. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for experts (researchers and practitioners) from visualization, visual analytics, computer graphics, image processing, computer vision, human computer interfaces as well as experts from biology and medicine, jointly working on next generation visual computing solutions for medicine, healthcare and the biotechnology sector. This years workshop (already the 9th VCBM since its foundation in 2008) will be held during September 4-6, 2019, in Brno, Czech Republic. EG VCBM solicits the submission of original, application-oriented research papers that advance the fusion of visual computing methods within medicine and biology. All papers (regular papers as well as short papers) should focus on a well-defined biological/medical problem, and demonstrate a significant innovation or improvement in visual computing. Suggested topics for full and short papers include, but are not limited to: *) Visual computing solutions for medical applications like radiology, surgery, pathology, cardiology, nephrology, neurology, etc., including medical education *) Visual computing solutions for applications that support biomedical research in systems biology, *omics research, molecular pathology, neuroanatomy, biomedical imaging, etc. *) Operation room of the future, including the uses of virtual reality and augmented reality in medical applications. *) Visualization approaches for data from new or challenging imaging modalities including real-time imaging (e.g., ultrasound) *) Visual computing solutions in the context of the virtual physiological human. Medical simulation and visual computing solutions that support new approaches in computational medicine. *) Visual analytics solutions for data coming from epidemiological studies, like population studies. In addition to that, we solicit: *) Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine Information for Authors In addition to full-length papers, there will be again a short papers track and a survey track, encouraging scientific contributions from an even more diverse group of researchers and practitioners. All VCBM 2019 papers (full, short and surveys) will be peer-reviewed and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. We encourage the use of digital videos to support all submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs such as MP4 to maximize the chances that the reviewers can view it. *) Full Papers: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the full papers track. However, it is unusual for papers to exceed 10 pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Papers should only be as long as their content would justify. Reviewers might rate a submission lower if it is perceived as being unnecessarily long or might recommend it for a short paper, instead. Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos or executable programs to provide extra contents. As in previous years, the authors of the best three papers will be invited by the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) journal to submit a revised version, which needs to have a significant amount of novel material and be within the focus subjects of the CGF journal. In addition to this, we will feature a Computers and Graphics Special Section on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine. For this, significantly extended and revised versions of full papers presented at the 2019 EG Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine (VCBM) will be eligible and fully peer reviewed according to the standards of Computers and Graphics. Extended versions of conference papers need to have at least 30% new material. *) Short Papers: Short papers describe a more focused and concise research contribution and are likely to have a smaller - yet significant - scope of contribution. Potential examples include the presentation of initial results from novel ongoing research projects or the exploration of new application areas. Short papers draw from the same list of topics as full papers. Their length is limited to a total of 5 pages (including references). *) Surveys: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the surveys track. However, it is unusual for surveys to exceed 20 pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos, to provide extra contents. Surveys are also eligible for the CGF and Computers and Graphics journal invitations. VCBM 2019 will also feature a poster program, the details of which will be announced in a separate call. Submission Instructions Papers can be submitted using the Eurographics SRM conference management system here: https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2019 <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2019%0d> Login with your existing SRM account, or create a new one using the relevant links. More information on the preparation of your submissions will also be available on the VCBM 2019 website: <http://www.vcbm.org/> http://www.vcbm.org/ Important Dates *) Paper submission deadline (full, short and survey papers): June 14, 2019 *) Author notification: July 12, 2019 *) Camera-ready deadline: August 2, 2019 *) Workshop: September 4-6, 2019 All deadlines are at 23:59 CET (UTC+1).
