Post doctorate in Geovisualization 18 months
Multi-scale spatiotemporal urban data visualization for urban communication
and development
TyCiTy Project
Territories constantly need to evolve in order to face demographic,
energetic, environmental, economic and heritage-related challenges. The dual
pressure of constrained financial resources and civic expectations calls for
tools to predict and explain those evolutions. 3D visualization and mapping
tools were designed to meet those needs. However, software solutions
struggle to find their place, as they require constant updating. This has
led to the generating of numerous, expensive and ill-adapted city modelling
generators. The TyCiTy project proposes to design an innovative production
tool for 3D modelling of the territory, in order to understand its
evolutions and to plan for the future. Its users, whether they are
communities or private actors, will be able to create autonomously 3D
communication models from their own GIS data, to predict visualization
routes, and thus to communicate better on the territory.
The TyCiTy is a SME research project from the Images&Réseaux Centre
(2018-2020).
Missions
* To elaborate scenarios for urban data use in collaboration with the
users (communities, urban planning agencies, planners);
* To propose methods for the multi-scale spatiotemporal urban data
visualization for urban communication and development;
* To participate in the prototyping and to carry out user tests.
Key words
Geomatics, information visualization, urban data models, spatiotemporal
data, user tests.

EuroVis 2018 Short Paper Track
Call for Papers
Deadline: March 2, 2018, 23:59 GMT
----------------------------------
For the seventh time, EuroVis 2018 (June 4-8, 2018, Brno, Czech Republic)
features a short paper track 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 double-blind
process by an international program committee. They will be electronically
archived in the EG Digital Library and are fully citable publications. All
accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference.
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, with 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 in understanding 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 visualization community (without extensive
evaluation of the methodology).
Submission Information
----------------------
Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 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.
For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions, please refer to
the guidelines in the Submitter Area on the conference web page at
http://www.eurovis2018.org/submitters-short-papers/. Note that the LaTeX
submission template for short papers is included in that for full papers and
can be found also on the short paper submission instructions linked above.
For any questions concerning short paper submissions, please contact the
co-chairs: short(a)eurovis2018.org

"Workshop on Molecular Graphics and Visual Analysis of Molecular Data"
(co-located with EuroVis 2018), June 4, 2018, Brno, Czech Republic
************************************************************************
Molecular visualization is one of the oldest branches of scientific
visualization, which has been developing for over 50 years. Due to the
continuous advances in both computational biology and computer graphics
techniques, molecular graphics and visualization are still very active areas
of research. Not only the ever-increasing dataset sizes yield a constant
challenge for visual analysis, but also new technologies like advances in
web-based graphics or augmented and virtual reality open new possibilities.
In this half-day workshop, which is held for the first 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 since 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 Brno, Czech Republic, June 4th, 2018 as part of
EuroVis 2018.
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

EuroVis 2018 Posters Track
Call for Posters
Deadline: April 4, 2018, 23:59 GMT
EuroVis 2018 (4-8 June 2018, in Brno, Czech Republic) features a posters
track. The posters track will present late-breaking results, work in
progress, and follow-up extensions, application case studies, 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.
Submission Instructions
We solicit poster submissions in the form of a sketch (i.e., an extended
abstract of at most 2 pages in the EuroVis poster format, with an additional
page allowed for references only).We strongly encourage the submission of
additional materials. For example, you can submit an additional PDF (without
any page limit) that contains a number of example results, screenshots, an
interaction sequence, etc. The poster draft can also be added as additional
material (but is not mandatory for the submission). Finally, submissions can
also include supplementary material such as videos or executable programs.
In particular for interactive tools/approaches, a digital video is essential
and thus strongly encouraged to allow the reviewers to assess the
interactive aspects.

EuroVis 2018 Short Paper Track
Call for Papers
Deadline: March 2, 2018, 23:59 GMT
----------------------------------
For the seventh time, EuroVis 2018 (June 4-8, 2018, Brno, Czech Republic)
features a short paper track 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 double-blind
process by an international program committee. They will be electronically
archived in the EG Digital Library and are fully citable publications. All
accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference.
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, with 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 in understanding 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 visualization community (without extensive
evaluation of the methodology).
Submission Information
----------------------
Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 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.
For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions, please refer to
the guidelines in the Submitter Area on the conference web page at
http://www.eurovis2018.org/submitters-short-papers/. Note that the LaTeX
submission template for short papers is included in that for full papers and
can be found also on the short paper submission instructions linked above.
For any questions concerning short paper submissions, please contact the
co-chairs: short(a)eurovis2018.org
Important Dates
---------------
* Mar. 2, 2018: Submission deadline
* Mar. 30, 2018: Notification of acceptance
* Apr. 20, 2018: Camera-ready version
All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT.

Eurographics Symposium on Rendering
July 2-4, 2018
Karlsruhe, Germany
http://cg.ivd.kit.edu/egsr18/
===============================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2018 will take place at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany from July 2nd to July 4th, 2018. This 29th event continues the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia and Workshops on Rendering.
EGSR has two different tracks: the Experimental Ideas & Implementations (EI & I) track, and the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) track. Authors have the choice of submitting their work to the CGF track, the EI & I track, or both.
The CGF track continues the tradition of disseminating the state-of-the-art scientific results in rendering and related fields. Accepted papers in this track will be published in an issue of Computer Graphics Forum after a full journal-style peer review, including a rebuttal and a second review cycle.
The EI & I track emphasizes criteria such as whether the idea is stimulating and provides valuable insights to the rendering community, while the requirements on comparisons to related work and citations are relaxed. It thus serves as a venue for soliciting exciting new ideas that have not yet been fully validated according to the high academic standards of the CGF track, or that describe interesting implementation issues for known algorithms in practical industry-scale uses. Papers in this track will undergo full double-blind peer review, and will be published in the EGSR conference proceedings series and in the Eurographics Digital Library, but not the CGF journal. There is neither a rebuttal nor a second review cycle, however. As is common for conference papers, authors have the opportunity to build upon their work, add comparisons and validation, and submit to a journal later. Please the FAQ below for further information on the EI & I track.
For both tracks, we are looking for work that shapes the future of rendering and related fields. We would like to emphasize that the conference is not exclusively about rendering, and we encourage submissions in the related topics of appearance modeling, virtual/augmented reality, computational displays, fabrication, and hardware architectures.
Neither track imposes a fixed maximum paper length. However, submissions over 12 pages in length will be treated as exceptional cases, and length must be proportional to contribution.
If a paper is submitted to both tracks, the paper will initially be reviewed using the CGF process, and reviewers will be unaware of the dual-track submission. If such a paper is rejected from the CGF track, it will then undergo an accelerated EI & I review.
Core conference topics include (but are not limited to):
* Global illumination
* Real-time and offline rendering
* Statistics and machine learning-based techniques for image synthesis
* Acquisition, modeling, and manipulation of light transport & appearance
* Realistic, non-photorealistic, 2D, and 3D image processing & synthesis
* Computational photography, optics & displays
* Human perception of rendered images
* Image synthesis for augmented or virtual reality
* Software and hardware systems/architectures for rendering
* Audio/sound rendering
Important dates (note the updated deadlines. The dates apply to both CGF and EI&I tracks unless specifically indicated):
* Abstract deadline: 6 April 2018
* Papers deadline: 9 April 2018
* Reviews due: 7 May 2018
* Rebuttals due: 14 May 2018 (CGF track)
* Author notification: 25 May 2018
* Final papers due: 1 June 2018
* Final notification: 8 June 2018
All times are 23:59 (midnight) UTC.
We hope to see you and your work in Karlsruhe!

Frequently Asked Questions about the Experimental Ideas & Implementations Track
Q: What’s the process to publish an extended journal version of my EI & I paper?
A: Once you have a paper accepted in the EI & I track and published in the conference proceedings, many journals, CGF included, apply the rule by which adding 30% new material and addressing any major issues that had precluded journal publication would qualify the revised paper for consideration in the journal. The authors should indicate the nature of the submission in a cover letter.
In addition, the EGSR papers committee and CGF editors may, at their discretion, invite select papers from the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track to a fast-track second review cycle in Computer Graphics Forum.
Q: Why would I submit to both tracks?
A: Should the committee decide your paper is not, in the form it was submitted, suitable for the CGF track, it will then be forwarded to the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track. You, the author, get a paper, valuable feedback, visibility for your ideas, and the possibility of later extending your work into a journal paper if the work is accepted in this second track.
However, if you feel your contribution clearly falls within the scope of the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track but not the CGF track, please only submit to the former. This makes the job of the reviewers and the committee easier, which is of particular importance because the review schedule is tight.
Q: What if my paper includes interesting system and implementation details but less algorithmic or mathematical novelty?
A: We would love to consider your work for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track!
Q: I have an intriguing idea but I am not certain if it only works in a certain special cases.
A: We would love to consider your paper for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track!
Q: Are Experimental Ideas & Implementations papers presented in separate sessions?
A: No. In the spirit of promoting new and stimulating ideas, all papers will be presented alongside in sessions that fit their topic.
