CfP: EGPGV 2021 (Regular Deadline)

by Eurographics Mailing List

*Please note the new abstract+paper submission deadlines below, which are not the same deadlines as the previous CfP for early submissions* 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: Feb 26, 2021 - Abstract Submission Deadline Mar 05, 2021 - Paper Submission Deadline Apr 12, 2021 - Notification For additional information, please contact us via papers(a)egpgv.org.

SHREC'21 track: Retrieval and classification of protein surfaces equipped with physical & chemical properties

by Eurographics Mailing List

/We apologize for multiple messages/ This is to invite you to participate in the following track of "SHREC'21 - 3D Shape Retrieval Contest 2021" (https://www.shrec.net/) SHREC'21 track: Retrieval and classification of protein surfaces equipped with physical & chemical properties (http://shrec.ge.imati.cnr.it/shrec21_protein/) The aim of this SHREC'21 track is to evaluate the performance of retrieval and classification algorithms for protein surfaces characterized by physicochemical properties. Starting from a set of protein structures in different conformational states observed via NMR experiments and deposited in the PDB repository, we build their Solvent Excluded Surface (SES) by the freely available software NanoShaper and compute some physicochemical properties on them. The track is jointly organized by IMATI-CNR and the CONCEPT lab at IIT. The dataset will be available on January 15th. Results are required by February 14th. For further information see: http://shrec.ge.imati.cnr.it/shrec21_protein/ or contact: Andrea Raffo (email: andrea.raffo(a)ge.imati.cnr.it) and Ulderico Fugacci (email: ulderico.fugacci(a)ge.imati.cnr.it) Best regards, Andrea Raffo, Ulderico Fugacci

SHREC'21 - 3D Shape Retrieval Contest 2021

by Eurographics Mailing List

/We apologize for multiple messages/ This is to invite you to participate in the following track of "SHREC'21 - 3D Shape Retrieval Contest 2021" (https://www.shrec.net/) SHREC'21 track: Fitting simple geometric primitives on point clouds from CAD objects The aim of the track is to evaluate the quality of automatic algorithms for fitting geometric primitives on CAD models represented as point clouds. The goal is to identify the number and the type of simple geometric surface primitives that are present on the surface the CAD model. As simple primitives we mean the classical surface primitives derived from constructive solid geometry, i.e., planes, spheres, ellipsoids, tori, cones and cylinders. The files of a preliminary set of models (approx. 70) will be available on January 15h. The point clouds that will be used for the final evaluation (approx. 30) will be available on January 30th. Results are required by February 14h. For further information see: http://shrec.ge.imati.cnr.it/shrec21_fitting/ Contact: chiara.romanengo(a)ge.imati.cnr.it, andrea.raffo(a)ge.imati.cnr.it Best regards, Chiara Romanengo, Andrea Raffo

by Eurographics Mailing List

Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2021 (Eurographics Medical Prize) Submission Deadline: February 12, 2021 Notification: March 26, 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. The <https://www.eg.org/wp/eurographics-awards-programme/other-eg-awards/dirk-ba rtz-prize-for-visual-computing-in-medicine/> Hall of Fame documents previous recipients of the prize.

Call for Doctoral Consortium Submissions EUROGRAPHICS'2021 in Vienna, Austria, May 3-7, 2021, conferences.eg.org/eg2021 <http://conferences.eg.org/eg2021> ---> enjoy Vienna ! The Eurographics Doctoral Consortium is a networking event that provides PhD students, working in all areas of computer graphics, with an excellent opportunity to present their work and interact with distinguished and experienced researchers in the field, receiving feedback and mentoring, as well as a different perspective from senior researchers outside their home institution. In addition, the Doctoral Consortium provides a unique forum for PhD students to share their work and experience among their fellow PhD students. The Doctoral Consortium will take place within the Eurographics’2021 conference, to be held in Vienna, May 3-7, 2021. Who should apply? PhD students working in all areas of computer graphics are encouraged to apply. We particularly encourage applications from students who are in the first half of their PhD work, especially those who already have a clear research direction (possibly with some published results), as they have sufficient time ahead to profit from their participation in the Doctoral Consortium. Students who are close to finishing their doctorate degree, or have very recently finished it, are also welcome, to share their experience and to discuss their ongoing research and future research plans. The applicants are strongly encouraged to consider submitting a poster of their work to the poster track in parallel. Timeline January 31, 2021 Submission deadline March 4, 2021 Notification of acceptance March 28, 2021 Camera ready submission and video * All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC Submission guidelines Submission website: Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRM) <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021DC> system. Template: Format should be in accordance with Eurographics Author’s guidelines <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021DC/Instruction> . Eligible Doctoral Consortium students who would like to participate in the Doctoral Consortium should submit the following documents as a single PDF file: 1. Research Statement: A 3-4 pages extended abstract summarizing their dissertation research, singly authored by themself. The submissions should NOT be anonymous. The use of figures is encouraged. This document should include: * university doctoral program context in which the work is being conducted, including starting date and expected graduation date; * motivation that drives the dissertation research; * research objectives/questions; * background and related work that informs the author’s research; * research approach, methodology and proposed experiments (where appropriate); * dissertation status and a description of the remaining work; * current and expected contributions. The research statement should transcend the scope of a single publication or project, and instead focus on the general research theme or agenda for the student’s PhD thesis. 2. Supervisor’s letter of support: A one-page signed letter from the PhD student’s supervisor, supporting her/his participation in the Doctoral Consortium, and providing the following information: * the student’s status with respect to the institution’s PhD requirements; * the expected date of thesis/dissertation defense or graduation; * why attendance at this Doctoral Consortium would be particularly beneficial to the student; * what contributions the student is likely to make to the event if invited to attend. 3. Curriculum vitae: A 1-2 pages CV plus the list of all publications. All three documents must be written in English. Review Process The review process is single-blinded. The review and decision of acceptance will take into account: (1) Quality of the submission (potential contribution and impact of the research to the field of computer graphics) and the author’s stage of doctoral research; (2) the benefits of the consortium for the author’s PhD research; (3) the author’s contribution to the diversity of topics, backgrounds and profiles that will integrate the Consortium. Participation All authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend the Doctoral Consortium, where they will present their work to a panel of experts, selected by the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs to match at best the topics related to the accepted submissions. For this, the authors will prepare a 10 minute long pre-recorded video to present their work. The panelists will then interact with the presenter to discuss their approach and provide constructive advice and suggestions. Social events will be conducted to engage panelists and all presenters to initialize a friendly environment in the community.

Eurographics'2021 - 2nd Call for Short Papers

by Eurographics Mailing List

2nd Call for Short Papers EUROGRAPHICS'2021 in Vienna, Austria, May 3-7, 2021, <http://conferences.eg.org/eg2021> conferences.eg.org/eg2021 ---> enjoy Vienna ! Authors are invited to submit short papers [4 pages max] that present self-contained, complete, compact works on all areas related to computer graphics, such as rendering, modeling, visualization, animation, simulation, virtual reality, computer vision, computer-aided design, digital fabrication and imaging. We particularly invite submissions which present tangible and practically useful improvements to the state of the art, but which are not thematically wide enough to justify an entire full paper. What we would like to see as short papers are individual smart ideas and intriguing findings that might otherwise remain unpublished, due to them standing in isolation - as opposed to falling within the context of some larger scientific endeavour, where they can be easily mentioned in the corresponding publication. Accepted short papers will be published in the Short Papers digital media proceedings and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their work as an oral presentation at the conference. Timeline December 21, 2020 Submission deadline February 15, 2021 Notification March 21, 2021 Camera-ready April 12, 2021 Fast-Forward video deadline * All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC Submission details Submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021S> Submission and Review Management (SRM) system. Submitted papers must be anonymous, up to 4 pages in length, and formatted according to the Eurographics Author's guidelines (short papers LaTeX style package available from the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021/Instruction> SRM system). Authors of accepted papers will present a super short summary or a teaser during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25 seconds (exact length to be decided) and shall be augmented by slides. To ensure a smooth organization, they will be asked to prepare a short video of the slides for this purpose, in two versions: one with the spoken text and one without. These FF presentations will be available on the web throughout the conference. Details will be sent to accepted paper authors. Plagiarism A submission to the Eurographics Short Papers program should describe an original work of the authors. Authors must not use ideas or content originating from others without properly crediting their original sources. Note that such sources are not limited to peer-reviewed publications but also include patents, textbooks, technical reports, theses, unpublished work posted on arXiv, and other posts on the World Wide Web. Failure to comply with this requirement will be considered plagiarism and result in rejection. Prior Art Authors are expected to cite, discuss differences and novelty, and compare results, if applicable, with respect to relevant existing publications, provided they have been published in a peer-reviewed venue. This also applies to patents, which also undergo a professional reviewing process. But what about technical reports, and other non-peer-reviewed publications, such as technical reports or papers posted on arXiv, which we henceforth refer to as pre-publications? With the rapid progress of search engines and the increased perusal of arXiv papers by the scientific community, asking authors to thoroughly compare their work to these pre-publications imposes an unreasonable burden - a seemingly relevant report that is incomplete in its disclosure or validation might appear online shortly before the deadline. Although peer-reviewed publications are certainly not immune to these shortcomings, they have, at least, been judged sufficiently complete and valid by a group of peers. Consequently, authors are not required to discuss and compare their work with recent pre-publications (arXiv, technical reports, theses, etc.), although they must properly cite those that inspired them (see "Plagiarism" above). Nevertheless, we encourage authors to mention all related works they are aware of as good academic practice dictates. Note that with new works posted on arXiv on a daily basis, it is increasingly likely that reviewers might point out similarities between the submitted work and online reports that have been missed by the authors. In this case, authors of conditionally accepted papers should be prepared to cite these pre-publications in their final revision as concurrent work, without the burden of having to detail how their work compares to or differs from these pre-publications. Double Submission Policy By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Short Papers program, authors acknowledge that the technical contributions they claim have not been previously published or accepted for publication in another peer-reviewed venue, and that no manuscript substantially similar in content is currently under review. Violations constitute grounds for rejection. Eurographics'2021 Short Papers Chairs Holger Theisel, University of Magdeburg, Germany Michael Wimmer, TU Wien, Austria For any question concerning short paper submissions please contact the short papers program co-chairs: <mailto:chairs-eg2021shorts@eg.org> chairs-eg2021shorts(a)eg.org -- EUROGRAPHICS'2021 Calls are open now -> May 3-7, 2021, online ! conferences.eg.org/eg2021 ---> enjoy virtual Vienna! sponsored by Eurographics, VRVis, Adobe, Disney, KAUST, Snap, GritWorld

SHREC2021 call for track proposals

by Eurographics Mailing List

3D Shape Retrieval Challenge, SHREC2021, http://www.shrec.net/ Call for Track Proposals =================== *New since 2020: Full paper submissions will follow a two-stage review process and will be published in the international journal Computes & Graphics upon acceptance.* *We strongly encourage to consider the graphics replicability stamp initiative, http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/, and to apply for this additional sign of recognition.* *Introduction* The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC2020 is the fifteens edition of the contest. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval, where the results will be reviewed and presented, https://3dor2021.github.io/. Thanks to the efforts of previous track organizers, SHREC already provides many resources to compare and evaluate 3D retrieval methods. For this year's contest, we aim to explore new and updated tracks. Therefore, the participants are invited to have an active role in the organization of the event. This includes proposing track themes, building or acquiring a test collection, and deciding upon the queries, relevance assessment, and performance measures. The participants of each track will collectively write a paper, which will be peer reviewed, and published in Computers & Graphics upon acceptance. At least one author per track must register for the workshop, and present the results. We also cordially invite all participants of a track to register and attend the workshop. *Tracks* The tracks organized in the past years have covered different aspects and tasks of 3D shape retrieval, for example: rigid or non-rigid models; partial (e.g. range scan) or complete models; sketch-based 3D retrieval; generic or domain specific models (e.g. CAD, biometrics, architectural and protein), and various aspects such as metric learning, outlier detection, correspondence, robustness, stability, registration, classification, recognition, pose estimation, and machine learning. Now we solicit again proposals for tracks. You may opt for one of the above themes, or propose new ones. Track organizers are responsible for all aspects of organizing the track, such as: the task, the data collection (copyright issues, etc.), the queries, the ground truth, the experimental design, the evaluation method, and the procedural aspects, writing the final paper in collaboration with the contestants, and submitting it. See the SHREC home page http://www.shrec.net/ for examples of organizational aspects of previous tracks. We strongly encourage to consider the graphics replicability stamp initiative, http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/, to apply for this additional sign of recognition, and to include this in your track proposal. *Procedure* The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities: . Potential track organizers send their proposal to shrec(a)cs.uu.nl <mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl> , describing the envisioned task, collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, and expected number of participants, and plans to apply for the graphics replicability stamp. . Promising tracks and their organizers will be listed at the SHREC web page, the track organizers start working out the details. . Participants register for the tracks they want to participate in. . Each track is performed according to its own schedule. . The track organizers collect the results. . The track results are combined into a joint paper. Papers are subject to peer review, accepted journal papers are published in Computers & Graphics. .
