Call for Papers: CGVC 2021

by Eurographics Mailing List

_with grovelling apologies for cross-posting_ CGVC 2021, hosted by the University of Lincoln (UK), is the 39th annual computer graphics, visualization, and visual computing conference organized by the Eurographics UK Chapter. The objective of Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (CGVC) is to foster greater exchange between visual computing researchers and practitioners, to welcome more researchers and industry partners in the UK, Europe, and beyond into this rapidly growing area of research. CGVC's scope includes all areas of visual computing, and a steadily more wide-spread visibility that achieves a more wide-spread impact. Submission Deadline: 4th June 2021 Notification of Acceptance: 23rd July 2021 Camera Ready: 6th August Conference (online & in-person): 8-10 September 2021 More info: https://cgvc.org.uk/CGVC2021/ Call for Papers We welcome contributions in the form of full papers, short papers, viewpoint papers and extended abstracts (posters). Submissions are optionally single- or double-blind: authors may choose whether to anonymize their submission or not. Reviewers’ identities are not revealed. Full Papers A full paper submission is upto 8 pages describing completed research, plus 1 page of references only. Papers are refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to give a 20-minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will serve as full paper publications. Short Papers The purpose of short papers is to present late-breaking results, work-in -progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international programme committee. They will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 pages, with an additional page allowed for references. Accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 12-15 minute presentations. Viewpoint Papers CGVC also features a viewpoint paper track (also known as position paper) which enables researchers a new possibility to publish their ideas. Viewpoints articles offer detailed technical opinions on trends in visual computing or reports on how visual computing has contributed to the comprehension of data or phenomena. We encourage discussions of challenges or limitations in today's methods and areas of potential new research topics. We are also interested in application discussions that focus on the physical, life or social sciences, engineering, or commerce, for example, or related to the process of visual computing in general. We encourage an emphasis on lessons learned from practical experience for application discussions, particularly where visual computing has been employed in a real, working environment. Viewpoint papers are submitted with author names and affiliations. Accepted viewpoint papers will be electronically archived, are fully citable publications and will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 12-15 minute presentations. Extended Abstracts / Posters The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. In particular, it provides young researchers, especially postgraduate students, with valuable opportunities to receive feedback from other researchers, and engage in stimulating discussions. The poster track will be managed by the co-chair team and the International Programme Committee (IPC). We solicit poster submissions in the form of an extended abstract of at most 2 pages (with an additional page allowed for references only). Posters will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process. Accepted posters, size A1 recommended, will be presented at the poster viewing session of the conference. In addition to directly submitted posters, some submissions to the full, short and viewpoint paper tracks, that are not accepted for publication but are deemed suitable, will be offered an opportunity to be presented as posters. Such submissions will not require an additional review process. Traditionally, the materials in a poster/sketch can be reused later by the original authors for a more extensive publication (i.e., a full paper) with more detailed content and mature results. This should not be considered as self-plagiarism. However, as posters/sketches are citable, researchers are encouraged to acknowledge novel ideas and results presented in posters/sketches. A poster may describe a piece of work in any aspect of visual computing. For posters, we particularly encourage a summary report of collaborative projects, work-in-progress, and application case studies. Accepted abstracts do not appear in the Eurographics digital library. An extended abstract and industrial project abstract are not considered as a paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. Topics include, but are not limited to: Computer Graphics Visualization Computer Vision Virtual Reality Visual Analytics Visual Data Science Computer Animation Computer-based Arts and Entertainment Image processing Acquisition and Reconstruction Techniques Graphics Architectures and Acceleration Hardware Medical Imaging Multimedia Visualisation Computer Games Rendering Techniques Scientific Visualisation and Big Data Information Visualization and Visual Analytics Geospatial Visualisation Augmented Reality and Collaborative Environments Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices Human Computer Interaction, Robotics, and Haptics Modelling Methods Location We will hold this year's CGVC paper and poster sessions online. We plan to host an in-person social event (as the Covid situation allows). Kind regards, Tom Kelly (scstke(a)leeds.ac.uk; twak.org)

by Eurographics Mailing List

EG VCBM 2021 Call for Papers <http://www.vcbm.org/> http://www.vcbm.org/ Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2021 in Paris, France and online. * Workshop Dates: September 22 - September 24, 2021 * Submission Deadline (full, survey, and short papers): July 2, 2021 Aims and Scope EG VCBM (http://www.vcbm.org/), the Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine, is an annual event addressing the state of the art in visual computing research with a strong focus on applications in biology and medicine. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for experts (researchers and practitioners) from visualization, visual analytics, computer graphics, image processing, computer vision, human computer interfaces as well as experts from biology and medicine, jointly working on next generation visual computing solutions for medicine, healthcare and the biotechnology sector. This years workshop (already the 11th VCBM since its foundation in 2008) will be held from September 22 to September 24, 2021, in Paris, France. We currently hope to have a hybrid event at which people can meet in person in Paris. In any case, there will be an option to attend this years VCBM virtually for those who may not be able to travel. EG VCBM solicits the submission of original, application-oriented research papers that advance the fusion of visual computing methods within medicine and biology. All papers (regular papers as well as short papers) should focus on a well-defined biological/medical problem, and demonstrate a significant innovation or improvement in visual computing. Suggested topics for full and short papers include, but are not limited to: * Visual computing solutions for medical applications like radiology, surgery, pathology, cardiology, nephrology, neurology, etc., including medical education * Visual computing solutions for applications that support biomedical research in systems biology, *omics research, molecular pathology, neuroanatomy, biomedical imaging, etc. * The use of virtual reality and augmented reality in biomedical applications (e.g., for surgical procedures, molecular visualization) * Visualization approaches for data from new or challenging imaging modalities (e.g., real-time ultrasound, CyTOF, Spectroscopy, layer fMRI) * Visual computing solutions in the context of the virtual physiological human. * Medical simulation and visual computing solutions that support new approaches in computational medicine. * Visual analytics in Behavioral Biology (e.g., collective behaviour) or epidemiology (e.g., population studies) In addition to that, we solicit: * Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine Information for Authors In addition to full-length papers, there will again be a short papers track and a survey track, encouraging scientific contributions from an even more diverse group of researchers and practitioners. All VCBM 2021 papers (full, short and surveys) will be peer-reviewed and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. We encourage the use of digital videos to support all submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs such as MP4 H.264 to maximize the chances that the reviewers can view it. * Full Papers: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the full papers track. However, it is unusual for papers to exceed 10 pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Papers should only be as long as their content would justify. Reviewers might rate a submission lower if it is perceived as being unnecessarily long or might recommend it for a short paper, instead. Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos or executable programs to provide extra content. The authors of the best papers (usually the best three papers) are invited to submit an extended version of their work to Computer Graphics Forum (CGF), provided that their work fits into the scope of CGF. * Short Papers: Short papers describe a more focused and concise research contribution and are likely to have a smaller - yet significant - scope of contribution. Potential examples include the presentation of initial results from novel ongoing research projects or the exploration of new application areas. Short papers draw from the same list of topics as full papers. Their length is limited to a total of 5 pages (including references). * Surveys: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the surveys track. However, it is unusual for surveys to exceed 20 pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos, to provide extra content. VCBM 2021 will also feature a poster and an image contest program, the details of which will be announced in a separate call. Submission Instructions - Papers can be submitted using the Eurographics SRM conference management system. More information on the preparation of your submissions will also be available on the VCBM 2021 website: <http://www.vcbm.org/> <http://www.vcbm.org/> http://www.vcbm.org/ Important Dates * Paper submission deadline (full, short and survey papers): July 2, 2021 * Author notification: August 6, 2021 * Camera-ready deadline: August 27, 2021 * Workshop: September 22 - September 24, 2021 All deadlines are at 23:59 CET (UTC+1).

3DOR 2021: Extended full paper submission deadline

by Eurographics Mailing List

*********************************************************** 3DOR 2021: Extended full paper submission deadline *********************************************************** 14th Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2021 (3DOR'21) In Cooperation with Eurographics and Elsevier September 2-3nd, 2021 Cardiff University, UK https://3dor2021.github.io/index.html 3DOR is the dedicated workshop series for methods, applications and benchmark-based evaluation of 3D object retrieval, classification, and similarity-based object processing. The workshop also includes the 2021 edition of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest, keynotes, project presentations, and a social and networking event. Short papers will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library (pending). Keynote Speakers: Prof. Thomas Funkhouser, Princeton University, USA Prof. Alex M. Bronstein, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology Important Dates: Full Paper Submissions for Computers & Graphics 1 April: Full paper submission, including SHREC papers 27 April: First decision 20 May: First revision 15 June: Second decision 30 June: Final version submission 5 June: Final decision 01 September 2021: Online publication Important Dates: Short Paper Submission for EG Digital Library 10 July: Short paper submission 25 July: Short paper notification 18 August: Short Paper final version submission 01 September 2021: Online publication 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series From the very beginning, the aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers to present state-of-the-art work, learn about or discuss topics in the field 3D object retrieval, search and exploration in a multi-disciplinary context of expertise such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction. 3DOR provides a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2021 will be the 14th workshop in this series. Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. 3D digital content is today pervasive: low-cost 3D scanners, 3D printers, and powerful modelling software have made 3D models appeal to an increasing audience. Repositories of 3D objects are rapidly growing in both number and size. Time-dependant acquisition, animation and simulation give rise to 3D objects as a function of time, yielding 4D objects. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D/4D object repositories and retrieving the models of interest remains a challenging problem. It is crucial to develop algorithms for content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for databases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance, such as the definition of the similarity concept; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms; new challenges such as faceted 3D browsing, social search and navigation of hybrid datasets. The complex yet concrete problems above are drawing increasing attention from the research community, which is becoming more and more varied in terms of disciplines needed to solve various facets of the challenges. The 3DOR Workshop series has been characterized since the beginning by a specific attention to benchmarking with the organization of the session on the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest (SHREC). The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval methods and algorithms. SHREC 2021 is the 16th edition of the contest. As in previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval. Results papers from SHREC tracks will be reviewed in a two stage-review process, like regular full papers (see below). Call for Papers Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D/4D Object Retrieval. State of the art papers on specific topics of interest are particularly welcome. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers, which will be peer-reviewed by a two-stage review process, and published as a special section of Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier). Also, short papers are invited, which will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library (pending). Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D/4D shape analysis - 3D/4D shape similarity and matching - 3D/4D mesh sequence retrieval - 3D/4D mobile media retrieval - 3D/4D search in large scale data - 3D/4D object classification, indexing, and mining - Similarity of non-rigid shapes - Shape correspondence - 3D/4D shape decomposition, and segmentation - Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching - Matching under uncertainty and noise - Semantics-driven 3D/4D object retrieval and classification - Sketch-based retrieval - Query interfaces and search modalities - Benchmarking issues - Deep learning for 3D/4D shape retrieval - Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization - Visual Analytics for 3D similarity assessment - Applications in all areas relevant to 3D/4D objects, including multimedia and information systems, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage, among others.

14th Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2021 (3DOR'21) In Cooperation with Eurographics (pending) and Elsevier September 2-3nd, 2021 Cardiff University, UK https://3dor2021.github.io/index.html 3DOR is the dedicated workshop series for methods, applications and benchmark-based evaluation of 3D object retrieval, classification, and similarity-based object processing. The workshop also includes the 2021 edition of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest, keynotes, project presentations, and a social and networking event. Short papers will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library (pending). Keynote Speakers: Prof. Thomas Funkhouser, Princeton University, USA Prof. Alex M. Bronstein, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology Important Dates: Full Paper Submissions for Computers & Graphics 15 March: Full paper submission, including SHREC papers 15 April: First decision 15 May: First revision 15 June: Second decision 30 June: Final version submission 5 June: Final decision 01 September 2021: Online publication Important Dates: Short Paper Submission for EG Digital Library 10 July: Short paper submission 25 July: Short paper notification 18 August: Short Paper final version submission 01 September 2021: Online publication 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series From the very beginning, the aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers to present state-of-the-art work, learn about or discuss topics in the field 3D object retrieval, search and exploration in a multi-disciplinary context of expertise such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction. 3DOR provides a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2021 will be the 14th workshop in this series. Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. 3D digital content is today pervasive: low-cost 3D scanners, 3D printers, and powerful modelling software have made 3D models appeal to an increasing audience. Repositories of 3D objects are rapidly growing in both number and size. Time-dependant acquisition, animation and simulation give rise to 3D objects as a function of time, yielding 4D objects. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D/4D object repositories and retrieving the models of interest remains a challenging problem.

CfP: EGPGV 2021 (Extension of Regular Deadline)

by Eurographics Mailing List

*** Please note the extended abstract+paper submission deadlines below *** EGPGV 2021 -- 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 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. We already had an early submission deadline last December, and we are now asking for submissions to the regular submission deadline given below. Please notice also that this year there is again an abstract submission deadline one week in advance to the paper submission deadline. 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 (https://www.egpgv.org) will be updated soon with more details on submission. Important Dates: Mar 05, 2021 - Abstract Submission Deadline Mar 12, 2021 - Paper Submission Deadline Apr 12, 2021 - Notification For additional information, please contact us via papers(a)egpgv.org.

CfP EuroVis 2021 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 2021) June 14th, 2021, online / Zurich, Switzerland ******************************************************************************* 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'21 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'21 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: March 10, 2021 Notification of Acceptance: April 10, 2021 Camera-ready Deadline: April 24, 2021 Workshop Date: June 14, 2021 More info: https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap21/ 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, 2021): https://new.precisionconference.com/ (Society: Eurographics / Conference/Journal: VisGap 2021) Please follow the VisGap'21 guidelines for writing the paper.

EuroVis 2021 Short Papers 2nd CFP

by Eurographics Mailing List

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** EuroVis 2021 (June 14-18 2021, Virtual Conference) https://www.eurovis.org CALL FOR SHORT PAPERS Due: March 1, 2021 Notification: April 2, 2021 EuroVis 2021 features a short paper track to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. All accepted short papers (4 pages plus an optional page only with references) will be presented orally at the conference. Please submit your work to the Short Papers program! A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller -- yet still significant -- scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers: * A new visualization technique or system and evidence of its utility compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation). * An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization technique or system with convincing evaluation. * An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system. * A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that helps to understand its limitations. * A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the implementation). * A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community (without extensive evaluation of the methodology). IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: March 1, 2021 Notification: April 2, 2021 Camera Ready Version: April 16, 2021 All submission deadlines are at 23:59 GMT on the date indicated. For detailed submission instructions, please see: https://www.eurovis.org/index.php/for-submitters/short-papers/ For any questions concerning short paper submissions please contact the Short Paper Co-Chairs at shortpapers(a)eurovis.org.

Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2021 (Eurographics Medical Prize) -- Deadline extensions Submission Deadline: February 12, 2021 February 19, 2021 Notification: March 26, 2021 April 2, 2021 Camera-Ready: April 23, 2021 Talk at Conference and Award: June 14-18, 2021 The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition, to acknowledge the contribution of computer graphics and visualization techniques in medicine and life sciences, and to encourage further development. Originally called "Eurographics Medical Prize", the competition was renamed to "Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine" in 2010---in honor of Dirk Bartz, who passed away in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was a highly recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher, and promoter of Visual Computing in Medicine; furthermore, he was an active member of the Eurographics Association, and Chair of the EG Medical Prize, in 2007 and 2009. Before, the prize was co-located with the Eurographics Conference. Since this year, it will be co-located with EuroVis and it is broadened to include contributions in life sciences. ==Call Submissions to the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2021 are being invited from researchers and developers, who can demonstrate that a particular benefit in a medical/life sciences application has resulted from the use of visual computing technology that they have produced/developed. We welcome submissions from all areas of visual computing---examples include the use of new data visualization techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments. Entries typically summarize a body of research and/or development that has been conducted over the course of a project, PhD thesis, etc. and weight is put on demonstrating the medical/life sciences impact of the work. ==Winners The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2021 will receive a prize and their submission will be published in the "Short Papers and Medical Prize Awards" digital media proceedings, and in the EG Digital Library. The judging panel will select the winning entry, based on its medical/life sciences value, use of visual computing methods, and novelty. All three winning teams will have an opportunity to present their results at EuroVis 2021, which means that at least one author of each winning team must register and attend, to present the results.
