**Deadline Extension** EGEV2020 Workshop: VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software

by Eurographics Mailing List

Dear colleagues, We have just extended the deadlines, so there is still time to contribute to: ******************************************************************************* VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software (co-located with EuroVis & Eurographics 2020) May 25th, 2020, Norrköping, Sweden ******************************************************************************* 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'20 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'20 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 (EXTENDED!): March 10, 2020 Notification of Acceptance (EXTENDED!): April 10, 2020 Camera-ready Deadline (EXTENDED!): April 24, 2020 Workshop Date: May 25, 2020 More info: https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap20/ 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, 2020): https://new.precisionconference.com/ (EGEV2020 VisGap Workshop) Please follow the VisGap'20 guidelines for writing the paper.

by Eurographics Mailing List

Authors are invited to submit proposals for poster presentations of recent results, work in progress, new ideas and other smaller projects which may be of interest to the general community, but which are still too speculative, incomplete or not of sufficient extent to warrant a (full or short) paper. Accepted posters will be included in the digital media. Posters will also be displayed during the conference and will form the focus of a poster session to be run in conjunction with one of the social events. We encourage submissions from all areas related to computer graphics, such as rendering, modeling, visualization, perception, animation, simulation, virtual reality, computer vision, and imaging. Authors of accepted posters are expected to be present at their posters during the poster session to discuss their work and answer questions. An A0 portrait format poster board will be available for each accepted poster and it's the authors' responsibility to print, bring and put up their A0 poster at the conference. More details will follow when the conference program is available. The deadline for proposals of poster submission is extended to February 14.

CfP EGEV2020 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 & Eurographics 2020) May 25th, 2020, Norrköping, Sweden ******************************************************************************* 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'20 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'20 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: February 29, 2020 Notification of Acceptance: April 3, 2020 Camera-ready Deadline: April 17, 2020 Workshop Date: May 25, 2020 More info: https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap20/ 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: February 21, 2020): https://new.precisionconference.com/ (EGEV2020 VisGap Workshop) Please follow the VisGap'20 guidelines for writing the paper. You can find more info here and templates below: https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap20/#papers https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap20/files/egPublStyle-VisGap-2020.zip Best regards, Christina Gillmann, Michael Krone, Guido Reina, Thomas Wischgoll VisGap'20 Organizing Committee

EGPGV 2020 - Call for Papers (Regular Deadline)

by Eurographics Mailing List

-------------------- EGPGV 2020 - Call for Papers (Regular Deadline) Regular Abstract Deadline: February 28, 2020 Regular Paper Deadline: March 3, 2020 https://conferences.eg.org/egpgv20 -------------------- 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 2020 will be collocated with Eurographics and EuroVis 2020, held May 25-29, 2020, in Norrköping, Sweden. 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 rendering, 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. EGPGV again calls for Full Papers (8 to 10 pages) and Short Papers (up to 4 pages) in Eurographics format. New Deadlines: Feb 28, 2020 Abstract submission deadline Mar 03, 2020 Paper submission deadline Apr 13, 2020 Notification Apr 20, 2020 Camera ready version For additional information, please visit https://conferences.eg.org/egpgv20, and feel free to contact us via papers(a)egpgv.org.

3D Shape Retrieval Challenge, SHREC2020, http://www.shrec.net/ Call for Track Proposals ======================== *New this year: In 2020, full paper submissions will follow a two-stage review process and will be published in the international journal Computes & Graphics upon acceptance.* *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://workshop.cgv.tugraz.at/3dor2020/. 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. *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. . 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. .
