For a wider range of paper types, please see “Broadening Intellectual Diversity in Visualization Research Papers<http://cmci.colorado.edu/visualab/papers/19-CGA-ContributionTypes.pdf>” by B. Lee et al. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS The maximum lengths for submitted papers to the full papers track is 10 pages (in Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) style, including all images, but excluding references). Authors are encouraged to use supplementary documents to provide extra content. Papers exceeding the maximum allowed number of pages will be automatically rejected. Submissions must be made using the Computer Graphics Forum style, using the conference LaTeX template for full papers. A LaTeX style sheet and overleaf template will be provided as well as a sample document explaining the required format. Authors have the option to submit their papers anonymously. In contrast to previous years, double-blind reviewing is optional, not required: authors may choose to disclose their identities to the reviewers. The reviewing process does not consider anonymity as a factor. The process will attempt to preserve anonymity of authors of anonymized submissions. However, the program committee, which is responsible for half of the reviews, will know the authors of submissions reviewed by them. Authors have the option of submitting additional material with their submissions. Supplementary materials, such as videos and supporting data, are encouraged. For papers that have previously been reviewed for other venues and have been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are strongly encouraged to provide the original submission with a cover letter describing the changes they have made to comply with reviewers' comments and requests. All full papers accepted to EuroVis appear in a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, containing the conference proceedings, and will appear at the same time in the Eurographics digital library. EuroVis submissions and papers are subject to the pre-print and self-archiving policies of the Computer Graphics Forum journal. Details are available from the journal web site: https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/open-acce… Given the uncertainty due to the pandemic, further details will be communicated regarding possible Open Access charges. Abstracts and full papers are submitted using the Precision Conference System (PCS): https://new.precisionconference.com/eurovis21a Please note you shall select Eurographics as Society. Submission of an abstract is mandatory by the abstract deadline, with completed papers due on by the full paper deadline. Submissions will not be accepted if an abstract is not submitted by the abstract deadline. Abstract submissions require the title, authors, paper type, abstract, and keywords in the form. The remaining fields (the document, additional material) are submitted by the full paper deadline. Please note that EuroVis accepted papers are published as a regular-length journal article, so submitting just an abstract is not sufficient. Submitters should choose keywords and categories appropriate for their paper as this information is used in reviewer selection. For more details please see the EuroVis 2021 website: https://www.eurovis.org/index.php/for-submitters/full-papers/ IMPORTANT DATES Abstract deadline: November 25, 2020 (Wednesday!)

Eurographics'2021 - Call for Short Papers

by Eurographics Mailing List

Call for Short Papers EUROGRAPHICS'2021 in Vienna, Austria, May 3-7, 2021, conferences.eg.org/eg2021 <http://conferences.eg.org/eg2021> ---> enjoy Vienna ! Authors are invited to submit short papers [4 pages max] that present self-contained, complete, compact works on all areas related to computer graphics, such as rendering, modeling, visualization, animation, simulation, virtual reality, computer vision, computer-aided design, digital fabrication and imaging. We particularly invite submissions which present tangible and practically useful improvements to the state of the art, but which are not thematically wide enough to justify an entire full paper. What we would like to see as short papers are individual smart ideas and intriguing findings that might otherwise remain unpublished, due to them standing in isolation – as opposed to falling within the context of some larger scientific endeavour, where they can be easily mentioned in the corresponding publication. Accepted short papers will be published in the Short Papers digital media proceedings and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their work as an oral presentation at the conference. Timeline December 21, 2020 Submission deadline February 15, 2021 Notification March 21, 2021 Camera-ready April 12, 2021 Fast-Forward video deadline * All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC Submission details Submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRM) system <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021S> . Submitted papers must be anonymous, up to 4 pages in length, and formatted according to the Eurographics Author’s guidelines (short papers LaTeX style package available from the SRM <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021/Instruction> system). Authors of accepted papers will present a super short summary or a teaser during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25 seconds (exact length to be decided) and shall be augmented by slides. To ensure a smooth organization, they will be asked to prepare a short video of the slides for this purpose, in two versions: one with the spoken text and one without. These FF presentations will be available on the web throughout the conference. Details will be sent to accepted paper authors. Plagiarism A submission to the Eurographics Short Papers program should describe an original work of the authors. Authors must not use ideas or content originating from others without properly crediting their original sources. Note that such sources are not limited to peer-reviewed publications but also include patents, textbooks, technical reports, theses, unpublished work posted on arXiv, and other posts on the World Wide Web. Failure to comply with this requirement will be considered plagiarism and result in rejection. Prior Art Authors are expected to cite, discuss differences and novelty, and compare results, if applicable, with respect to relevant existing publications, provided they have been published in a peer-reviewed venue. This also applies to patents, which also undergo a professional reviewing process. But what about technical reports, and other non-peer-reviewed publications, such as technical reports or papers posted on arXiv, which we henceforth refer to as pre-publications? With the rapid progress of search engines and the increased perusal of arXiv papers by the scientific community, asking authors to thoroughly compare their work to these pre-publications imposes an unreasonable burden — a seemingly relevant report that is incomplete in its disclosure or validation might appear online shortly before the deadline. Although peer-reviewed publications are certainly not immune to these shortcomings, they have, at least, been judged sufficiently complete and valid by a group of peers. Consequently, authors are not required to discuss and compare their work with recent pre-publications (arXiv, technical reports, theses, etc.), although they must properly cite those that inspired them (see “Plagiarism” above). Nevertheless, we encourage authors to mention all related works they are aware of as good academic practice dictates. Note that with new works posted on arXiv on a daily basis, it is increasingly likely that reviewers might point out similarities between the submitted work and online reports that have been missed by the authors. In this case, authors of conditionally accepted papers should be prepared to cite these pre-publications in their final revision as concurrent work, without the burden of having to detail how their work compares to or differs from these pre-publications. Double Submission Policy By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Short Papers program, authors acknowledge that the technical contributions they claim have not been previously published or accepted for publication in another peer-reviewed venue, and that no manuscript substantially similar in content is currently under review. Violations constitute grounds for rejection.

PhD opportunity in Zaragoza

by Eurographics Mailing List

The Graphics & Imaging Lab (University of Zaragoza, Spain), is looking for candidates for one PhD position within our project VIRTUALIGHT: Virtual optics for transient imaging. The successful candidate will be working towards a PhD degree along a four-year contract. The project comes up from a generalization of our recent Nature paper in which we derive a new formulation called phasor fields which allowed to model the non-line-of-sight problem (to look through corners, or specifically to reconstruct the geometry of an occluded scene through its reflection on an opaque, diffuse wall), as a line-of-sight (direct vision) problem with a virtual optical system, computationally modeled. This allows to solve it by means of typical wave propagation operators, with significantly improved results in occluded scenes with much more complexity. This paper is a milestone which sets the path to solving more complex and/or badly conditioned image and vision problems by their (virtual) computational transformation into more simple problems, which is the basis of this project. The project research field is threefold: * Computer graphics and computational imaging. * Computer vision and deep learning. * Optics and light transport. Specific research tasks within the project will be shaped to the candidate’s profile. The deadline for submitting applications is 13-27 October through Spain’s Ministry of Science and Innovation site. For further details and assistance with the application procedure, please contact the project Principal Investigators: Diego Gutiérrez [diegog AT unizar DOT es] and Adolfo Muñoz [adolfo AT unizar DOT es].

EuroVis 2021 - Call for State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs)

by Eurographics Mailing List

EuroVis 2021 - Call for STARs State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) are intended to provide up-to-date and comprehensive surveys on topics of interest to the visualization research community. We encourage the submission of STARs on topics that have not yet been covered in any recent STAR or other survey [1,2]. We welcome submissions that introduce emerging technologies, as well as proposals on more traditional visualization topics. We also welcome contributions from related disciplines and application areas demonstrating contributions to, or benefits from, the area of visualization including, but not limited to, visual computing, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, image processing, computer vision, psychology, geography, chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, data analysis, computational sciences, medicine, biology, economy, social science, etc. All accepted EuroVis STAR reports will be published in the Computer Graphics Forum. Important Dates Submission of STAR sketch: October 16, 2020 (two pages, +references, +bibliography) Invitation for full STAR submission: November 11, 2020 Submission of full STAR: February 5, 2021 Review notification: March 22, 2021 Second round submission: April 23, 2021 Second review notification: May 5, 2021 Camera-ready deadline: May 14, 2021 All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT on the date indicated. Instructions As part of the acceptance process into Computer Graphics Forum, STARs will undergo a multi-stage process. Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and will be conducted using the Precision Conference System ( <https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions> PCS). For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions please refer to the submission guidelines at https://www.eurovis.org/index.php/for-submitters/stars/. We plan to schedule each STAR as an approximately 45 minute presentation (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis 2021 program). In any circumstances, a STAR presentation will be given a longer time slot than that of a full paper. Any accepted STARs are required to have at least one (paid) registered author to attend and present the STAR at the conference. STAR Sketch Submission First, authors are asked to submit an initial sketch by October 16th 2020. A STAR sketch briefly describes the planned STAR by outlining the topic, discussing its relevance to the visualization community, providing the planned structure and outline of the STAR together with all key references, and short biographies of the authors. The length of a STAR sketch main text is limited to two pages. To demonstrate the relevant expertise needed to produce the proposed STAR, brief biographies of all authors are required as supplementary material. References and short biographies are considered supplementary pages and are not counted within the two page limit. STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR IPC and comments on suitability and relevance will be provided on November 11th 2020. Full STAR Submission In the next stage, authors are required to submit a full STAR. Full STAR submissions will then undergo a single blind, two-stage review process, similar to that of regular papers submitted to Computer Graphics Forum, where 3-4 external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. There is no strict maximum length for full submissions. However, it is unusual for STARs to exceed 20 pages (excluding references). STAR Chairs Noeska Smit, University of Bergen, Norway Katerina Vrotsou, Linköping University, Sweden Bei Wang, University of Utah, USA For any questions concerning State-of-the-Art Report submissions please contact the STAR chairs at <mailto:stars@eurovis.org> stars(a)eurovis.org.

CfP: EGPGV 2021 (Early Deadline)

by Eurographics Mailing List

Call for Papers The Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV) aims to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge on exploiting and defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization. This area is of growing importance due to the rapidly increasing availability of multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and cluster systems. Computationally demanding and data-intensive applications in graphics and visualization are strongly affected by this trend and require novel, efficient parallel solutions. EGPGV has two submission deadlines: early submission in December and regular submission typically in February. This offers authors the flexibility to choose between two separate submission deadlines. The early submission deadline also provides the opportunity of improving manuscripts and resubmitting them to the regular deadline in case they are not successful in the early review phase, resembling a major revision review process. An FAQ about the early submission process can be found at the bottom of this email. Please notice also that this year there are again abstract deadlines one week in advance to the paper deadlines. EGPGV 2021 will take place on June 14, 2021, and be co-located with EuroVis 2021, held June 14-18, 2021, in Zurich, Switzerland. The proceedings of EGPGV will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Best papers from the EGPGV symposium will be invited to submit an extended journal version to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. EGPGV seeks papers on graphics and visualization that involve any type of parallel computing, and/or focus on very large data sets. Papers on techniques, data structures, algorithms, systems, and applications are welcomed. Parallel computing is broadly defined, including high-performance computing and cloud environments, (multi-)GPU computing and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures, and shared and/or distributed memory architectures. Further, papers focused on processing very large data sets (either for visualization or graphics) are welcomed, even if they do not have a particular focus on parallelism. Typical symposium topics include: - Computationally and data-intensive rendering - Scientific visualization (e.g., volume, flow, and tensor visualization) - Information visualization and visual analytics - In situ analytics and in situ visualization - Out-of-core processing of large data sets for visualization or graphics - Simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation, collision detection, acoustics) - Mesh processing, level-of-detail, and geometric methods - Visual computing (image- and video-based rendering, image processing and exploitation, segmentation) - Scheduling, memory management, and data coherence - Parallelization approaches and algorithms, such as MapReduce - Database-related methods, algorithms or approaches, and query-based visualization - Advanced hardware for data handling or visualization - Large and high-resolution displays, virtual environments - Scientific, engineering, and industrial applications - Data analytics on large scientific data sets - Machine learning as applied to parallel graphics, visualization and/or large data analytics In general, appropriate topics for the symposium fall into one of four categories: (1) parallel graphics, (2) rendering of very large data sets, (3) parallel visualization and analytics, and (4) processing of large data sets for visualization or analytics. For additional information regarding paper submission and publication, please contact the program chairs. EGPGV again calls for Full Papers (8 to 10 pages) and Short Papers (up to 4 pages) in Eurographics format. The EGPGV webpage will be updated soon with more details on submission. Important Dates: December 7, 2020 - Early Submission Abstract Deadline December 14, 2020 - Early Submission Paper Deadline January 25, 2021 - Early Submission Notification Regular Submission deadline: expected to be late February For additional information, please contact us via papers(a)egpgv.org. EGPGV Leadership: Symposium Chair: Markus Hadwiger, KAUST, Saudi Arabia Program Co-Chair: Matthew Larsen, Lawrence Livermore, USA Program Co-Chair: Filip Sadlo, Heidelberg University, Germany FAQ on Early Submission: Q: What happens if my paper is accepted in the early submission review cycle? A: Your paper will have the exact same status as any paper accepted during the regular submission review cycle. It will appear in the proceedings and you will present your paper at EGPGV21. Q: Who can benefit from the early submission process? A: There are benefits whether the paper is accepted or not accepted. For accepted papers, the benefit is in getting acceptance earlier and having more time for, e.g., travel organization. For multiple minor revisions, major revisions, and rejected papers, the benefit is in effectively adding a revision cycle, i.e., getting feedback from the early submission and then submitting the revised paper to the regular submission deadline. Q: If I do not submit to the early submission deadline, can I still submit to the regular submission deadline? A: Yes, you can absolutely submit to only the regular submission deadline. Q: What is the timeline for the regular submission deadline? A: We are still in discussions with Eurographics with respect to camera-ready deadlines. Traditionally, EGPGV has a submission deadline of late February and a notification of early April. We expect the timeline for the regular submissions to match this traditional schedule. Q: What paths can an early submission take? - It might be accepted straightaway on January 25. - It could be conditionally accepted on January 25, which would require a revision on February 8. This could result in an accept, another conditional accept, or a reject on February 15. In case of another conditional accept, the revision will be due at the regular submission deadline. In case of a reject, the work can be resubmitted as new at the regular submission deadline. - It could receive a major revision decision on January 25, which would be due at the regular submission deadline. - It could be rejected on January 25. In this case, the work can still be resubmitted as new at the regular submission deadline.
