# Call for Contributions
Topological Data Analysis has become, over the last few years, an
established framework for the extraction and analysis of subtle structural
patterns in complex data. It has been successfully applied in a variety of
application fields, including quantum chemistry, astrophysics, fluid
dynamics, combustion, material sciences, biology, and data science. In
particular, the genericity, efficiency, and robustness of topological
methods have made them particularly well suited for the multi-scale,
interactive analysis and visualization of the structural information of
data.
Despite their rising mainstream popularity, topological methods still face a
number of challenges, including, for instance efficient computational
methods for large-scale time-varying data, the characterization of noise and
uncertainty, or the support of emerging data types such as ensemble data or
high-dimensional point clouds.
The IEEE VIS Workshop on Topological Data Analysis and Visualization aims at
being an inclusive forum for the fast dissemination of the latest results in
theory, algorithms, and applications of topological methods for the
interactive and visual analysis of data. This workshop is a remodeling of
the established TopoInVis workshop series, with the goal of being more
diverse (in terms of applications) and inclusive (in terms of communities),
with a clear will to open to other members of the visualization community
potentially interested in topological methods, or experts in topological
methods from other communities willing to experiment with interactive and
visual applications.
New in 2022: This year, in addition to full paper presentations, we will
host a session of lightning talks (approx. 5 minutes) for early-career
researchers (Ph.D. students, post-docs, etc.) to advertise their work to the
community.
Relevant topics include (but are not limited to):
- Topological methods for the analysis and visualization of:
* High dimensional point cloud data
* Graph data
* Scalar, vector, tensor, multi-field data
* Time-varying data
* Ensemble data
* Uncertain data
- Topological methods for data science (dimensionality reduction,
clustering, etc.)
- Computational methods for topological data analysis and visualization
- Software systems for topological data analysis and visualization
- Visual analytic frameworks relying on topological methods
- Applications of topological data analysis and visualization
We welcome contributions as regular papers in the IEEE VGTC format (up to 9
pages of content, plus up to 2 pages of references), as well as abstracts
(at most 500 words) for early-career lightning talks.
Paper submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international program
committee, including experts in topological methods for scientific data,
information visualization, visual analytics, computational geometry and
machine learning.
Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Call for Submissions: SIGGRAPH 2022 Posters
https://s2022.siggraph.org/program/posters/
Submission Deadline: Tue, 26 April 2022 22:00 +00:00 GMT
The SIGGRAPH Posters program is an interactive forum where students, researchers, artists, enthusiasts, and practitioners present the latest developments and ongoing research. No matter the core concept --whether an art installation, a technical brief, or anything in between--, the ideal Posters submission expresses a novel and applicable idea in a simple, concise, visually appealing manner. There is no need to have a completely finished and polished product as long as the foundation of the work is strong and demonstrative results and initial findings are presented.
Accepted posters will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
Students also are encouraged to submit to the Student Research Competition for the chance to win a prize, be recognized, and progress to the ACM Student Research Competition Grand Finals!
Learn more about the poster track and timeline on the website above. For further questions, please contact posters-s2022(a)siggraph.org<mailto:posters-s2022@siggraph.org>.

The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2022 will take place from July 4th
to July 6th, 2022, hosted by Charles University in Prague. This 33nd event
continues the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia and
Workshops on Rendering.
This year, EGSR features two paper submission tracks: the Research Track and
the Industry Track.
All accepted research papers will be presented at EGSR 2022 and archived in
the Eurographics digital library. Furthermore, a selection of them will be
published in an issue of the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) journal, based on
both the recommendations of the reviewers and the outcome of a second cycle
of review.
The industry track provides an accessible venue for getting out ideas that
have found practical use in industry and could impact the future of
rendering research, but might not meet the standards/expectations of
scientific evaluation expected in formal research papers. These papers will
be curated by the paper co-chairs and will be presented in the conference
along with the traditional research papers.
Topics of interest
We invite original contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in topics
related, but not limited, to:
* Physically-based rendering and global illumination
* Monte Carlo sampling, reconstruction, and integration
* Real-time rendering, including ray tracing, acceleration structures, and
GPU algorithms
* Rendering software systems
* Specialized rendering hardware systems
* Inverse and differentiable rendering
* Image processing for rendering and compositing, such as denoising,
matting, deblurring, colorization
* Image manipulation, such as warping, inpainting, relighting

Call For Papers: SMI-SCULPT 2022
https://smiconf.github.io/2022/sculpt.html
SMI-SCULPT 2022 will be organized as a teleconference due to the
coronavirus outbreak. The conference program will be exactly the same
as in previous years; it will include paper presentations, keynote
talks, and several workshops but everything will be done using remote
conferencing services. All attendees will participate in the
conference remotely with video/audio and slide sharing; there will be
no on-site participation.
Call for Papers
https://easychair.org/cfp/SMI-SCULPT2022
The SCULPT track: “Shape Creation Using Layouts, Programs, &
Technology” is the successor of the former FASE track (Fabrication and
Sculpting Event) at SMI. SCULPT is focused on original research on
the theory and practice of shape design, sculpting, and architecture,
including the physical realization of the envisioned shapes via
modeling, construction, fabrication, or manufacturing. The presented
work should have a clear algorithmic or mathematical basis, and it may
also address the inverse process of obtaining a clean CAD model from a
given physical artifact.
Topics
SCULPT solicits papers that pose new questions and motivate further
research in designing, fabrication, and sculpting. Topics should be
useful, for example, in the following areas: (1) Fabrication of
digital models, (2) Advanced manufacturing techniques such as additive
manufacturing, laser cutting or CNC milling, (3) Interactive or
procedural design of manufacturable shapes, (4) Interconnections of
complex modeling and fabrication processes, (5) Visually stimulating
fabrication techniques or printed structures.
Submissions
All SCULPT paper submissions will be handled via the easy-chair system
following a one-stage peer review cycle. Accepted SCULPT papers will
be published in a special issue of the Hyperseeing magazine. SCULPT
paper presentations will be 15 minutes in length. They will be
presented in a special SCULPT session at the SMI 2022. Accepted papers
and posters must be presented in person by registering for the SMI
conference.
Location
SMI-SCULPT 2022 will be co-located with the Shape Modeling
International (SMI 2022) and organized as an event of Shape Modeling
International conference (SMI 2022).
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to
another journal or conference. The following paper categories are
welcome:
Full papers describing methods in detail with a limit of 16 pages.
Short papers describing methods in less detail with a limit of 8 pages.
