CfP: EGPGV 2020 (Extended Deadline)

by Eurographics Mailing List

Due to multiple requests, the deadline has been extended to: March 8, 2020 -------------------- EGPGV 2020 - Call for Papers (Regular Deadline) Regular Abstract Deadline: March 2, 2020 Regular Paper Deadline: March 8, 2020 https://conferences.eg.org/egpgv20 -------------------- 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 2020 will be collocated with Eurographics and EuroVis 2020, held May 25-29, 2020, in Norrköping, Sweden. 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 rendering, 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. EGPGV again calls for Full Papers (8 to 10 pages) and Short Papers (up to 4 pages) in Eurographics format. New Deadlines: Mar 02, 2020 Abstract submission deadline Mar 08, 2020 Paper submission deadline Apr 14, 2020 Notification Apr 21, 2020 Camera-ready version All deadlines are at 23:59 AOE For additional information, please visit https://conferences.eg.org/egpgv20, and feel free to contact us via papers(a)egpgv.org.

**Deadline Extension** EGEV2020 Workshop: VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software

by Eurographics Mailing List

Dear colleagues, We have just extended the deadlines, so there is still time to contribute to: ******************************************************************************* VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software (co-located with EuroVis & Eurographics 2020) May 25th, 2020, Norrköping, Sweden ******************************************************************************* Over the years, many visualization methods and tools have been developed and published by the visualization research community. However, most of these are prototypes and never reach a state that can be reliably used by the target audience, e.g., domain scientists. Also, availability of these prototypes as source code or at least as executables is still the exception rather than the norm. The VisGap Symposium aims to shed a light on this gap between research and practical applicability, examine the obstacles every researcher faces, and propose solutions to overcome this problem as a community. VisGap'20 aims at gathering experts from all over the visualization community in order to advance the way our field works with software, sustains software, and values the effort our members put into developing said software. We solicit papers with 4-8 pages, with an additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book or must present a substantial extension of previous work (at least 30%). Papers must be submitted through PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/). All submissions will undergo a single-blind, single-stage peer review process. Accepted papers will be published by the Eurographics Association, and be stored in the Eurographics Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in the VisGap'20 workshop to present their work. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Requirements for successful visualization in applications in general - Domain-specific requirements for visualizations - Reflections on the research community and the visualization software ecosystem - Incentives and funding for developing/maintaining visualization research software - Legal requirements (e.g., licensing, certification) for visualizations in applications - Case studies of (un)successful visualization solutions in applications - Requirements for novel visualization libraries Important Dates ******************************************************************************* Paper Submission Deadline (EXTENDED!): March 10, 2020 Notification of Acceptance (EXTENDED!): April 10, 2020 Camera-ready Deadline (EXTENDED!): April 24, 2020 Workshop Date: May 25, 2020 More info: https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap20/ Organizers and Contact ******************************************************************************* Christina Gillmann, TU Kaiserslautern, Germany Michael Krone, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany Guido Reina, University of Stuttgart, Germany Thomas Wischgoll, Wright State University, Dayton, USA If you have any questions, please contact us: mailto: visgap(a)googlegroups.com Submission ******************************************************************************* Please submit your short and full papers via PCS (Deadline: March 10, 2020): https://new.precisionconference.com/ (EGEV2020 VisGap Workshop) Please follow the VisGap'20 guidelines for writing the paper.
