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 2022 will take place on June 13, 2022, and be co-located with EuroVis
2022, held June 13-17, 2022, in Rome, Italy.
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 (+ 1 page of references). The EGPGV webpage
will be updated soon with more details on submission.

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 EGPGV22.
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 24.
- It could be conditionally accepted on January 24, which would require a
revision on February 7. This could result in an accept, another conditional
accept, or a reject on February 14. 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 24, which would be
due at the regular submission deadline.
- It could be rejected on January 24. In this case, the work can still be
resubmitted as new at the regular submission deadline.

EG TUTORIALS 2022
Call for contributions
The Eurographics2022 Tutorials Committee invites you to propose tutorials
teaching the technical background of a given subject or demonstrating its
potential creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be
done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can
be used to do it. In a proposal for a tutorial, you should consider that
tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and
development to education and application.
We are soliciting half-day and full-day tutorial proposals at the beginning,
intermediate, or advanced level in all areas pertinent to Computer Graphics.
Half-day tutorials are about three hours, plus a coffee break in the middle.
Full-day tutorials are twice that long, plus two coffee breaks and a longer
lunch break. Full-day tutorials should be motivated by sufficient scientific
material. Tutorial proposals are about 4-5 pages in length, clearly
indicating the audience that is addressed as well as the syllabus of
instruction. They will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs, supported by
external reviewers. The final selection will be based on the quality of the
submission, qualification of the presenters, relevance to the conference
topics, and balance of topics.
Digital support of accepted tutorials will be made available to every
Eurographics registered participant and will also be included in the
Eurographics digital library. Eurographics does not require copyright for
the tutorial notes it publishes. The tutorial speakers may reuse their
material freely. For each accepted tutorial, one free registration is
provided per half-day of that tutorial.
