ACM/EG Expressive 2019 — Call for Submissions

by eurographics＠eg.org

ACM/EG Expressive 2019 — Call for Submissions http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/ Paper deadline: February 21, 2019 Acceptance by: March 21, 2019 Camera-ready: April 5, 2019 Symposium: May 5-6, 2019 Artworks/posters/demos by: Rolling notification, closes March 15, 2019 The Expressive symposium explores the capacity of computer graphics, animation, and computational media to be used in artistic, aesthetic, and creative ways. The field can be seen as encompassing problems in expressive understanding, expressive communication, and expressive interaction: * Expressive understanding integrates aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied, and performing arts, investigating theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. * Expressive communication focuses on imagery and motion which is expressive rather than photorealistic, although it may incorporate realistic elements. * Expressive interaction explores models, algorithms, and technologies for sketch-based interfaces, particularly classifying and recognizing hand-drawn shapes as a way to create or edit digital models, text, mathematics, or 3D shapes. <http://expressive.graphics/2019> Expressive 2019 will take place in Genova, Italy, May 5-6, 2019 — co-located with <https://www.eurographics2019.it/> Eurographics 2019 in Genova. Expressive technical papers will be submitted, evaluated, and presented in a single, unified track. This unification reflects the ongoing evolution of the symposium, which originated as the union of three separate events: Computational Aesthetics (CAe), Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR), and Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM). The symposium will also include an arts program, posters and demos, and presentations of published journal articles. <http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/#call-for-papers> > Call for Papers <http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/#call-for-posters-and-demos> > Call for Posters and Demos <http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/#call-for-artworks--generative-…> > Call for Artworks <http://expressive.graphics/2019/submissions/#call-for-journal-presentations> > Call for Journal Presentation _____ General Co-Chairs: Joaquim Jorge, Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal Lyn Bartram, Simon Fraser University, Canada Chiara Eva Catalano, Institute for Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies, Italy Program Co-Chairs: Craig Kaplan, University of Waterloo, Canada Angus Forbes, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA Stephen DiVerdi, Adobe Research, USA Arts Program Co-Chairs: Daniel Berio, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK Pedro Cruz, Northeastern University, USA Posters and Demo Chair: Jose Echevarria, Adobe Research, USA Publicity Chair: Amir Semmo, Hasso Plattner Institute, University of Potsdam,Germany

SCA CFP 2019

by eurographics＠eg.org

The 18th annual Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) will take place in sunny Los Angeles, California from July 26 to July 28, 2019, immediately before SIGGRAPH. For almost two decades now, SCA has been the premier forum for presenting innovations in the theory and practice of computer animation. Bringing together academic and industrial researchers and practitioners working in all aspects of time-based phenomena, SCA provides an intimate setting that encourages community interaction, promotes the exchange of research results, inspires future ideas, and establishes new collaborations. Conditionally accepted regular papers will undergo a second round of revision and will, upon approval, appear in the new journal Proceedings of the ACM on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (PACMCGIT). Best Paper Awards will be given to excellent submissions that push the leading edge. New this year, we are also excited to introduce SCA Sketches, which provides a forum to present and discuss your late-breaking, innovative, and thought-provoking animation ideas and work-in-progress at SCA. Website: <https://sca2019.kaist.ac.kr/> https://sca2019.kaist.ac.kr/ We invite work on a broad range of animation topics, including: 2D, 3D, and N-D animation systems Autonomous characters Clothing and hair animation and simulation Expressive motion / communication Facial animation Fabrication of dynamic objects and characters Group and crowd behavior Intuitive interfaces for creating and editing animations Mathematical foundations of animation Methods of control and artistic direction of simulations Nature in motion (natural phenomena, plants, clouds, .) New time-based art forms on the computer Novel time-varying phenomena Perceptual foundations and metrics for animation Physical realism / measuring the real world for animation Physical simulation Fluid animation Planning / learning / optimization for animation Real-time and interactive methods Camera control methods for computer animation Sound and speech for animation as well as related problems and techniques in robotics, game development, human-computer interaction, simulation, visualization, computer vision, and beyond. Regular Papers: We invite submissions of original, high-quality papers on computer animation, broadly defined as computation dealing with time-varying phenomena. Each submission should be 7-10 pages in length and will be reviewed by an international program committee for technical quality, novelty, significance, and clarity. All conditionally accepted regular papers will be guaranteed a presentation slot and to appear in the SCA proceedings. They will then undergo a thorough second round of revision and review, and (conditional on final acceptance) be published in the new journal Proceedings of the ACM in Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (PACMCGIT). In the case that a paper fails to pass the second review round, authors retain the option to withdraw the paper or exclude it from the conference/proceedings, if requested. Posters: As in previous years, the poster (1-2 pages) session will be an integral part of the SCA program. The poster session will be held prior to the reception Friday evening and will follow a posters fast-forward session during which all presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-minute description of their work. Posters will be included in the conference proceedings and the ACM and EG digital libraries. Sketches (NEW!): We also invite sketch submissions (in 2-4 pages) for quick dissemination of fresh, compact ideas. These submissions will also undergo a full review by the program committee, but with greater emphasis placed on novelty and potential future impact over polish or completeness. Accepted submissions will be presented during the symposium. Sketches can be freely published in other venues because they will not be archived in any journal, conference proceedings, or digital libraries. We hope that feedback from reviewers and attendees will help to improve your work for a future paper submission!

Deadline Extension February 13: 3DOR'19 (12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2019)

by eurographics＠eg.org

*********************************************************** 3DOR 2019: Extended deadline! Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2019 (3DOR'19) *********************************************************** A co-event of Eurographics 2019 May 5-6, 2019, Genova, Italy http://3dor2019.ge.imati.cnr.it/call-for-papers/ Important Dates Full/Short Paper Submission: February 13, 2019 (extended deadline!) Acceptance Notification: March 4, 2019 Camera Ready: April 5, 2019 Workshop dates: May 5-6, 2019 *********************************************************** 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. Also, a new wave of information is underway: 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. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D 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. The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on or are interested in 3D object retrieval search and exploration, to present state-of-the-art work in the field or learn about it and participate in discussions. This will provide a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2019 will be the 12th workshop in this series. *********************************************************** Call for Papers Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers presented in a poster session (up to 4 pages). State of the arts papers on specific topics of interest in the workshop are also welcome and may exceed the 8 pages limit. All accepted papers will be published in the EG Digital Library. Extended and revised versions of selected full papers will be considered for publication in a special section of the Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier), based on the reviewers' comments and on the feedback from the 3DOR workshop. The deadline for this special issue will be 6 weeks after the workshop (end of June 2019) and reviewer continuity will be aimed for. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 3D shape analysis 3D shape similarity and matching 3D mesh sequence retrieval 3D mobile media retrieval 3D search in large scale data 3D object classification, indexing, and mining Similarity of non-rigid shapes Shape correspondence 3D shape decomposition, and segmentation Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching Matching under uncertainty and noise Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification Sketch-based retrieval Query interfaces and search modalities Benchmarking issues Deep learning for 3D shape retrieval Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization Visual Analytics for 3D similarity assessment Applications in multimedia, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage. Also this year, the workshop will feature the 14th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC 2019). The SHREC 2019 call for participation is available at: http://www.shrec.net/. *********************************************************** Submission: The submission should be formatted according to the Eurographics guidelines. Submissions should be done through the SRM website (https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/3DOR_2019). The 3DOR 2019 conference will use a double-blind review process.

fully funded PhD scholarship at CS Department, Liverpool John Moores University, UK

by eurographics＠eg.org

Dear colleagues, we are inviting applications for a fully funded PhD scholarship at Computer Science Department, Liverpool John Moores University, UK on Virtual Stroke Simulator. A serious game in a form of a training package for healthcare workers involved in the care of acute stroke patients. The proposed virtual stroke simulator will be built on a spectrum of information acquired by a detailed literature search, input from clinical studies, and through discussions with clinical neurologists. We will use a standardised approach to build the simulator based on our clinical protocols at SRFT and international structured rating scales of stroke severity and inclusion/exclusion criteria for the various treatments of stroke. The result will be a highly-realistic graphical and audio system which will provide the appropriate behavioural response to any of a predetermined user inputs and will consider different situations that may come during the neurological procedures. The key research question this project will address is: How the quality and multi-modal nature of the virtual simulator in a form of serious games can make a significant difference to the level of engagement of the user (healthcare professional (s)), and his/her/their learning curve in training for the management of patients with acute stroke. Please forward this call to any of your EU students who may be interested to spend their time as PhD students abroad (or home for UK students). https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/research/phd%20scholarships https://www.noldus.com/labs/immersive-technology-lab-liverpool <https://hes32-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f %2fwww.noldus.com%2flabs%2fimmersive%2dtechnology%2dlab%2dliverpool&umid=c08 39a8c-e7cc-4832-8ab0-17852490e2dd&auth=768f192bba830b801fed4f40fb360f4d1374f a7c-c8b2bf565b20b2dfa9b7c9cc2bb2a7c57f9750fc> Application deadline: 4th March 2019 Starting date: Fall 2019 Contact: Dr. Silvester Czanner, s.czanner(a)ljmu.ac.uk <mailto:s.czanner@ljmu.ac.uk> Location: Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, UK Language of communication: English <http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/> Dr. Silvester Czanner, PhD, SFHEA Subject Head - Computer Science Department of Computer Science James Parsons Building, Byrom Street, Liverpool, L3 3AF t: +44 (0) 151 231 2268 e: <mailto:S.Czanner@ljmu.ac.uk> S.Czanner(a)ljmu.ac.uk _____ Important Notice: the information in this email and any attachments is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).

Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2019: CfP

by eurographics＠eg.org

*********************************************************** Paper Submission Deadline is Approaching Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2019 (3DOR'19) *********************************************************** A co-event of Eurographics 2019 May 5-6, 2019, Genova, Italy http://3dor2019.ge.imati.cnr.it/call-for-papers/ Important Dates Full/Short Paper Submission: February 4, 2019 Acceptance Notification: March 4, 2019 Camera Ready: April 5, 2019 Workshop dates: May 5-6, 2019 *********************************************************** 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. Also, a new wave of information is underway: 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. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D 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. The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on or are interested in 3D object retrieval search and exploration, to present state-of-the-art work in the field or learn about it and participate in discussions. This will provide a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2019 will be the 12th workshop in this series. *********************************************************** Call for Papers Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers presented in a poster session (up to 4 pages). State of the arts papers on specific topics of interest in the workshop are also welcome and may exceed the 8 pages limit. All accepted papers will be published in the EG Digital Library. Extended and revised versions of selected full papers will be considered for publication in a special section of the Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier), based on the reviewers' comments and on the feedback from the 3DOR workshop. The deadline for this special issue will be 6 weeks after the workshop (end of June 2019) and reviewer continuity will be aimed for. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 3D shape analysis 3D shape similarity and matching 3D mesh sequence retrieval 3D mobile media retrieval 3D search in large scale data 3D object classification, indexing, and mining Similarity of non-rigid shapes Shape correspondence 3D shape decomposition, and segmentation Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching Matching under uncertainty and noise Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification Sketch-based retrieval Query interfaces and search modalities Benchmarking issues Deep learning for 3D shape retrieval Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization Visual Analytics for 3D similarity assessment Applications in multimedia, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage. Also this year, the workshop will feature the 14th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC 2019). The SHREC 2019 call for participation is available at: http://www.shrec.net/. *********************************************************** Submission: The submission should be formatted according to the Eurographics guidelines. Submissions should be done through the SRM website (https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/3DOR_2019). The 3DOR 2019 conference will use a double-blind review process.

In this half-day workshop, which is held for the second time in conjunction with EuroVis, we would like to initiate a multidisciplinary meeting which brings visualization researchers together working with molecular data. Whereas molecular graphics is an established topic for many years, the hybrid-dimensional visual analysis of molecular structures is still a quite new research field with a lot of potential. We would like to encourage submissions especially using new technologies, such as immersive analytics-related approaches. We invite short papers as well as full papers (2-4 pages for short and up to 8 pages for full papers, both with an additional page reserved for references). All papers will undergo a single-stage, double-blind peer review process. Accepted papers will be published in the EG digital library. The workshop will be held in Porto, Portugal, June 3, 2019, as part of EuroVis 2019. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - Molecular Graphics - Visual Analysis of Molecular Data (e.g., molecular structures, biological networks, and pathways, or omics data) - Visualization of Dynamic Molecular Data - Visualization of Large Molecular Systems - Web-based Molecular Graphics and Visualization - Immersive Analytics approaches using, e.g., VR/AR technologies - Tools papers describing new molecular visualization tools or novel features in existing tools More info: <http://decibel.fi.muni.cz/~xbyska/molva/> http://decibel.fi.muni.cz/~xbyska/molva/ Important Dates ************************************************************************ Paper Submission Deadline: February 28, 2019 Notification of Acceptance: April 5, 2019 Camera-ready Deadline: April 15, 2019 Workshop Date: June 3, 2019 Organizers and Contact ************************************************************************ - Jan Byska, University of Bergen, Norway - Michael Krone, University of Tübingen, Germany - Björn Sommer, University of Konstanz, Germany If you have any question, please contact us: mailto: <mailto:molva.eurovis@gmail.com> molva.eurovis(a)gmail.com Submission ************************************************************************ Please submit your short and full papers via PCS (Deadline: February 28, 2019): <https://new.precisionconference.com/> https://new.precisionconference.com/ (EuroVis 2019 MolVA Workshop) Please follow the EG guidelines for writing the paper.
