CfP EuroVis 2024 Workshop: VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software

by Eurographics Mailing List

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to contribute to: ******************************************************************************* VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software (co-located with EuroVis 2024) May 27th, 2024, Odense, Denmark ******************************************************************************* 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 workshop aims to shed 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'24 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. **The scope of VisGap also includes reproducibility and replicability. Both are cornerstones of the scientific method and essential for building trust in visualizations and increasing their acceptance, ultimately fostering adoption in the wild. We also explicitly solicit contributions about visualization systems and tools, and their employment in research and practice.** We solicit papers with 4-8 pages, with one 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'24 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 - Verification and validation in visualization (applications) - Reproducibility of visualizations Important Dates (Early Submission Deadline) ******************************************************************************* Paper Submission Deadline: February 23, 2024 Notification of Acceptance: April 10, 2024 Workshop Date: May 27, 2024 More info: https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap24/ 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 Best regards, Christina Gillmann, Michael Krone, Guido Reina, Thomas Wischgoll VisGap'24 Organizing Committee

CLIPE workshop at EG2024

by Eurographics Mailing List

CLIPE workshop at EG2024: CREATING LIVELY INTERACTIVE POPULATED ENVIRONMENTS Advances in technology are pushing towards making VR/AR worlds a daily experience. Whilst virtual characters are an important component of these worlds, bringing them to life and giving them interaction and communication abilities requires highly specialized programming combined with artistic skills, and considerable investments: millions spent on countless coders and designers to develop video-games is a typical example. The objective of CLIPE is to design the next-generation of VR-ready characters. This workshop is part of an MSCA-ITN project also called CLIPE (https://www.clipe-itn.eu <https://www.clipe-itn.eu/> ) that started in 2020 and has been addressing the most important current aspects of the problem, making the characters capable of: * Behaving more naturally; * Interacting with real users sharing a virtual experience with them; * Being more intuitively and extensively controllable for virtual worlds designers. To meet the goals, there is a need for multidisciplinary research on VR/AR, computer graphics, computer animation, psychology and perception. This workshop will present the results of the CLIPE project, but is also opened to publications from other researchers. CALL FOR PAPERS This workshop will be co-Located with Eurographics 2024 and invites researchers to submit original research papers related to modeling and animation of humans and/or crowds. The workshop welcomes both technical papers and position papers, and authors may also submit work in progress. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: * Modeling and animation of humanoid characters * authoring virtual human behavior * Expressive character animation (e.g. face, gaze, gestures, ...) * Capture of human appearance and movement. * Perceptual studies to evaluate character simulation quality and communication abilities. * ML and deep-learning algorithms for character animation * Avatars in VR/AR and embodiment * Social interaction and groups of virtual humans * Navigation for autonomous characters * Crowd simulation * Motion Capture to facilitate character animation * Computer vision method for the reconstruction of shape, geometry or animation of humans * Authoring virtual humans' behavior or animations IMPORTANT DATES: * Submission deadline: 9 February 2024 (Anywhere on Earth) * Notification of acceptance: 8 March 2024 * Camera-ready deadline: 29 March 2024 * Workshop date: 23 April 2024 The submission Web page for CLIWEG24 is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cliweg24 PROGRAM CHAIRS: Nuria Pelechano, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Julien Pettré, Inria-Rennes WORKSHOP CHAIR: Yiorgos Chrysanthou, University of Cyprus -- --------------------------------------------------- Dra.
