Eurographics 2017 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2017) Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

[We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message.] Eurographics 2017 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2017) Call for Papers ========================================================================= June 12-13, 2017, Barcelona, Spain Co-located with EuroVis 2017 <http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/egpgv/egpgv2017/> http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/egpgv/egpgv2017/ Dear colleagues, The importance of parallel computing is increasing rapidly with the ubiquitous 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. The aim of this symposium is to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge exploiting and defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization. The proceedings of the EGPGV Symposium 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. Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and systems for: - large-data - HPC and cloud environments - (multi-)GPU computing, and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures - shared and/or distributed memory architectures - out-of-core The symposium topics include: - computationally and data intensive rendering - scientific visualization (volume rendering, flow, and tensor visualization) - information visualization and visual analytics - in-situ analytics and in-situ visualization - 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 - distributed, parallel, or multi-threaded approaches - mapReduce-based and database-related methods, algorithms or approaches, query based visualization - advanced hardware for data handling or visualization - large and high resolution displays, virtual environments - scientific, engineering, and industrial applications Submission types ======================== You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works. Two types of submissions are accepted, as follows. Full papers ======================== Full papers are expected to be eight to ten (8-10) pages in length, with the final length appropriate to the contribution of the paper. Submissions are to be formatted along the Eurographics paper publication guidelines. We expect that full paper submissions will clearly discuss the novel and significant contributions as well as related work in the field. Authors must highlight how their contributions differ and advance the state of the art in parallel graphics and visualization. The full paper and all supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system. Short papers ============================ This year we introduce a new type of submission: short papers. Short papers target the same interest topics as full papers, but are maximally 4 pages in length. As such, they typically address novel ideas or work in progress which has not been sufficiently solidly validated as for full papers. Short papers can also target use-cases and applications of parallel graphics and visualization, presentation of parallel graphics and visualization tools and systems, industry success stories, and showcases of applications making use of parallel graphics and visualization. The short paper track thus broadens the visualization showcase track that was present in earlier editions of EGPGV. Short papers and their supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system. Accepted papers (both full and short) will appear in the symposium proceedings and be published via the Eurographics Digital Library. Submission process ================= Papers are accepted when submitted via the PCS system (precisionconference.com). Additional details with respect to the submission process will be announced shortly on egpgv.org/egpgv2017 Reviewing process ================= Both paper types (full and short) will be reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee (IPC), in a single review pass. Full papers deemed insufficient in terms of the contribution level expected for a full paper, but presenting otherwise interesting, novel, and valuable results, can be selected by the IPC to be accepted as short papers. The review process is not double blind; we leave it to the latitude of the authors whether they want to disclose their identity in their submissions. Important Dates ================= Papers Submission: March 6, 2017 Author Notification: April 20, 2017 Camera-Ready Submission: April 27, 2017 Symposium: June 12-13, 2017 Symposium Chair ================= Fernando Cucchietti, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain Program Chairs =============== Alexandru Telea, University of Groningen, the Netherlands Janine Bennett, Sandia National Laboratories, USA

-------------------------------------- EuroVis 2017 Short Paper Track Call for Papers ** Extended Deadline ** Feb 27th 2017 -------------------------------------- For the sixth time, EuroVis 2017 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. Short papers will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. All accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference. 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. 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). For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions please refer to the guidelines in the Submitter Area on the conference web page at http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/.

Deadline extension: EG WICED 2017

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017). http://wiced.inria.fr/ NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: February 24. NEW TRACK for INVITED TALKS: Send one page abstract. The expressive use of virtual cameras, mise-en-scene, lighting and editing (montage) within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to extend the communicative power of film and video into the artificial environments of interactive games and virtual worlds. At the same time, recent advances in computer vision-based object, actor and action recognition make it possible to envision novel re-cinematography (re-lighting, re-framing) and automatic editing of live-action video. The workshop series is intended to bridge the gap between the two areas and confront research being performed in both domains. One common area of active research is the representation and understanding of the story to be told and its relation to its communicative goals. Another area is the extension of traditional film grammar towards more immersive and interactive experiences, and the emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality movie making. This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and industrial experts working in all aspects of digital cinematography and film editing in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, visualization, interactive narrative, cognitive and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational aesthetics and visual effects. Drawing upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic art-work, the workshop seeks to offer a glimpse of the future of cinematography and film editing, as well as a forum for discussion of outstanding research issues. The 6th edition of the workshop will take place at Villa Lumiere, 25 rue du Premier Film, in Lyon, France on April 24, 2017, immediately before Eurographics 2017. The workshop will include a visit of the Lumiere Museum, which honours the contribution to filmmaking by Auguste and Louis Lumière - inventors of the cinématographe and fathers of the cinema. ========== Submission ========== Researchers should submit one of: Regular paper (max 8 pages) reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area.

Eurographics 2017 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2017) Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

[We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message.] Eurographics 2017 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2017) Call for Papers  =========================================================================  June 12-13, 2017, Barcelona, Spain  Co-located with EuroVis 2017  http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/egpgv/egpgv2017/ Dear colleagues, The importance of parallel computing is increasing rapidly with the ubiquitous 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. The aim of this symposium is to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge exploiting and defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization.  The proceedings of the EGPGV Symposium 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.  Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and systems for:   - large-data   - HPC and cloud environments  - (multi-)GPU computing, and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures  - shared and/or distributed memory architectures  - out-of-core The symposium topics include:   - computationally and data intensive rendering - scientific visualization (volume rendering, flow, and tensor visualization)  - information visualization and visual analytics - in-situ analytics and in-situ visualization  - 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  - distributed, parallel, or multi-threaded approaches - mapReduce-based and database-related methods, algorithms or approaches, query based visualization - advanced hardware for data handling or visualization - large and high resolution displays, virtual environments  - scientific, engineering, and industrial applications Submission types  ========================  You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works. Two types of submissions are accepted, as follows. Full papers ======================== Full papers are expected to be eight to ten (8-10) pages in length, with the final length appropriate to the contribution of the paper. Submissions are to be formatted along the Eurographics paper publication guidelines.  We expect that full paper submissions will clearly discuss the novel and significant contributions as well as related work in the field. Authors must highlight how their contributions differ and advance the state of the art in parallel graphics and visualization. The full paper and all supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system.  Short papers  ============================ This year we introduce a new type of submission: short papers. Short papers target the same interest topics as full papers, but are maximally 4 pages in length. As such, they typically address novel ideas or work in progress which has not been sufficiently solidly validated as for full papers. Short papers can also target use-cases and applications of parallel graphics and visualization, presentation of parallel graphics and visualization tools and systems, industry success stories, and showcases of applications making use of parallel graphics and visualization. The short paper track thus broadens the visualization showcase track that was present in earlier editions of EGPGV. Short papers and their supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system. Accepted papers (both full and short) will appear in the symposium proceedings and be published via the Eurographics Digital Library. Submission process ================= Papers are accepted when submitted via the PCS system (precisionconference.com). Additional details with respect to the submission process will be announced shortly on egpgv.org/egpgv2017  Reviewing process ================= Both paper types (full and short) will be reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee (IPC), in a single review pass. Full papers deemed insufficient in terms of the contribution level expected for a full paper, but presenting otherwise interesting, novel, and valuable results, can be selected by the IPC to be accepted as short papers. The review process is not double blind; we leave it to the  latitude of the authors whether they want to disclose their identity in their submissions. Important Dates  =================  Papers Submission: March 6, 2017 Author Notification: April 21, 2017 Camera-Ready Submission: April 30, 2017 Symposium: June 12-13, 2017     Symposium Chair  =================  Fernando Cucchietti, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain    Program Chairs  ===============  Alexandru Telea, University of Groningen, the Netherlands  Janine Bennett, Sandia National Laboratories, USA

EuroVis 2017 Short Paper Track

by eurographics＠eg.org

--------------------------------- EuroVis 2017 Short Paper Track Call for Papers Deadline: 23:59GMT, Feb 17th 2017 --------------------------------- For the sixth time, EuroVis 2017 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. Short papers will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. All accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference. 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. 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). For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions please refer to the guidelines in the Submitter Area on the conference web page at http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/ (to be updated). Note that the style for the final camera-ready version is included in that for full papers and can be found under Author Guidelines at http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/index.php/for-submitters/authors-guidelines. For any questions concerning short paper submissions please contact the co-chairs: ev2017-short(a)cs.upc.edu Important Dates --------------- The submission deadline is 23:59GMT, Feb 17th 2017. Please see http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/ for further details.
