Motion in Games Call for Registration

by eurographics＠eg.org

--------------------------------------------------------------- ACM SIGGRAPH Conference Motion in Games 2016 Oct. 10-12, San Francisco <https://mig2016.inria.fr/> https://mig2016.inria.fr/ Register now! <https://mig2016.inria.fr/registration/> https://mig2016.inria.fr/registration/ --------------------------------------------------------------- Games have become a very important medium for education, therapy and entertainment. Motion plays a crucial role in computer games. Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene. Even the motion of the player nowadays is used as input to games. Motion is currently studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also physics, psychology, and urban studies. Cross-fertilization between these communities can considerably advance the state-of-the-art in the area. The goal of the Motion in Games conference is to bring together researchers from this variety of fields to present their most recent results, to initiate collaborations, and to contribute to the establishment of the research area. The conference will consist of regular paper sessions, poster presentations, and as well as presentations by a selection of internationally renowned speakers in all areas related to games and simulation. The conference includes entertaining cultural and social events that foster casual and friendly interactions among the participants. We have assembled a strong set of papers for the conference: <https://mig2016.inria.fr/program/> https://mig2016.inria.fr/program/ We also have an incredible set of keynote speakers. Simon Clavet from Ubisoft will discuss game animation, Michiel van de Panne from the University of British Columbia will discuss physics-based animation and Mark Walsh of Motional A.i., and formerly from Pixar, will discuss effective use of story and animation. <https://mig2016.inria.fr/invited-speakers/> https://mig2016.inria.fr/invited-speakers/ In addition, MiG is co-located this year with The Twelfth Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment <http://www.aiide.org/> http://www.aiide.org/, providing further opportunity for networking.

Any paper that does not adhere to these requirements will be rejected without review. Re-Submitted Material For papers that have previously been reviewed by other venues and have been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are encouraged to provide a cover letter to describe the history of the paper (however, this does not imply reviewer continuity). This cover letter can also answer the comments made in the previous reviews, by either listing the changes that were made to comply with them, or discussing/rebutting/clarifying some elements if need be. Though not mandatory, this procedure is strongly encouraged. The cover letter has to be submitted through SRM as an Additional Attachment (see last section of the SRM upload form for details). Rebuttal, Notification, Publication, and Prizes * The reviews will be made available to the authors on December 1st, 2016. During a rebuttal period from December 1st to December 6th, 2016, authors will be able to submit a brief document to address any factual errors or clarify any issues raised by reviews. * The date for notification of the results of the first round of the review process is December 23rd, 2016. * Revised versions of the papers conditionally accepted in the first round must be submitted by January 18th, 2017. * The final notification of the outcome of the second reviewing round will be made on February 1st, 2017. * The camera-ready version of accepted papers will be due on February 15th, 2017. * From all accepted and presented papers, an international jury will select the best papers.

First, authors are being asked to submit an initial sketch by October 9, 2016. A STAR sketch briefly describes the planned STAR by outlining the topic, discussing its relevance for the visualization community, providing the planned structure and outline of the STAR together with all key references, and short biographies of the authors. The length of a STAR sketch main text is limited to two page. References and short biographies are considered extra pages and are not counted within the two page limit. Bibliographies should be limited to 200 words per author. The format of the sketch can be found at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es> http://eurovis2017.virvig.es. STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR IPC and comments on suitability and relevance will be provided by October 30, 2016. Authors will then be required to submit a full STAR. Full STAR submissions will then undergo a single blind, double cycle review, similar to the one for regular papers submitted to Computer Graphics Forum, where three external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. Full submissions are 25 pages maximum. To demonstrate the relevant expertise needed to produce the proposed STAR, authors are required to submit the brief biographies of all authors as a piece of supplementary materials. Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and will be conducted using <https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/> https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ according to the guidelines defined at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es> http://eurovis2017.virvig.es We plan to schedule each STAR as a 40-100 minute presentation as in Eurographics conferences (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis 2017 program). In any circumstance, a STAR presentation will always be given a longer time slot than that for a full paper. For any questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs co-chairs: ev2017-star(a)cs.upc.edu. Important Dates Submission of STAR sketch (two pages +references+bibliography): October 9, 2016 Invitation for full STAR submission: October 30, 2016 Submission of full STAR: January 26, 2017 Review notification: March 12, 2017 Second round submission: April 19, 2017 Second review notification: April 30, 2017 Camera ready deadline: May 14, 2017 General Chairs Isabel Navazo and Pere-Pau Vázquez, ViRVIG Group, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain STAR Chairs (ev2017-star(a)cs.upc.edu) Miriah Meyer, University of Utah, USA Shigeo Takahashi, University of Aizu, Japan Anna Vilanova, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands

Open PhD Position in Strasbourg (France) The IGG group, ICube Lab (UMR 7357, University of Strasbourg / CNRS) seeks an excellent student for a 3-years funded PhD position in the field of Computer Graphics starting September 2016. Candidates are invited to contact us as soon as possible via the two following e-mail addresses: <mailto:dischler@unistra.fr> dischler(a)unistra.fr and <mailto:allegre@unistra.fr> allegre(a)unistra.fr. Candidates must send us the following elements: a detailed CV, marks obtained during Bachelor and Master degree, or Engineering School degree, and a one-page motivation letter. The application deadline is July 8th, 2016. Please feel free to relay the information. Title : Extraction and analysis of geometric and photometric properties for the classification of materials of 3d objects digitized under uncontrolled lighting conditions Host team : IGG (Computer Graphics and Geometry groupe) at ICube Lab Advisor : Jean-Michel Dischler, Professor in Computer Science - <mailto:dischler@unistra.fr> dischler(a)unistra.fr Co-advisor : Rémi Allègre, Associate Professor in Computer Science - <mailto:allegre@unistra.fr> allegre(a)unistra.fr Prerequisites : Computer graphics and geometric modeling Abstract : The media content production industry is in increasing demand of tools for creating complex geometric models with realistic appearances more rapidly and more efficiently. While current 3d digitization technologies for real objects considerably simplify the process of creating 3d models, especially for geometry, there is a lot of room for improvement in the field of appearance processing and representation. In this context, it is highly desirable that photometric acquisitions be performed in an uncontrolled lighting environment, and that the appearance of the models be represented by texture layers that fit the requirements of commercially available rendering engines. Existing techniques however only reconstruct approximate reflectance and sophisticated reflectance models do not easily comply with texture layers representations. The goal of this thesis is to devise a new processing pipeline in two stages. The first stage will consist in accurately extracting the geometric and photometric properties of a 3d object digitized under uncontrolled lighting conditions (geometry, normals, diffuse color, specularity, occlusion), as well as storing them in texture maps. The second stage will consist in analyzing these properties in order to provide a classification of the materials as close as possible to the reality over the whole surface of a digitized object. This classification will be used as input for texture synthesis algorithms developed in the IGG group. A detailed version of the proposal including bibliography is available at the following address: <https://dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr/~allegre/SUJETS/THESE/SujetTheseIGG2016-JMD-R A_EN.pdf> https://dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr/~allegre/SUJETS/THESE/SujetTheseIGG2016-JMD-RA _EN.pdf

We invite submissions of new ideas, and encourage all forms of research creativity and originality. We are interested in practice, experience, novel applications, technological or theoretical papers, with the ambition of setting the standard in the field and stimulating future trends. Accepted full papers will be presented at <http://eurographics2017.fr/> Eurographics 2017 and published in a special issue of the Eurographics journal <https://www.eg.org/index.php/publications/computer-graphics-forum> Computer Graphics Forum, and the submissions will undergo a two-step review process. We encourage submissions from all areas related to computer graphics, including but not limited to rendering, modeling, animation, simulation, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, display technology, image processing, visual computing, computational fabrication, human-computer interaction, and related disciplines. Timeline October 7th, 2016, 23:59 GMT Preliminary abstract due (required for any further submission) October 14th , 2016, 23:59 GMT Full papers due December 1st, 2016 Reviews available December 1st - December 06, 2016 Rebuttal period December 23rd, 2016 First notification January 18th, 2017 Revised version due February 1st, 2017 Final notification February 15st, 2017 Camera ready version due Submission Dates A preliminary abstract is due by 23:59 GMT, Friday, October 7th, 2016, and the full paper deadline is 23:59 GMT, Friday, October 14th, 2016. Note that a full paper can only be submitted if an abstract has been submitted by the abstract deadline. Submission Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory and will be conducted using the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2017> Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system. Papers must be written in English, must be anonymized, and must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum guidelines. <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2017/Instruction> The publication guidelines and LaTeX templates are available on SRMv2. Accepted papers must be presented orally in English at Eurographics 2017. Review of full papers is based on a double-blind reviewing approach, so please be sure to remove all personal data (such as authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. References to your own work should be made in the third person to maintain anonymity. Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for evaluation. Note that there is no maximum length imposed on papers. However, papers should only be as long as they need to be, but not longer. Reviewers might rank submissions perceived as being either repetitive or unnecessarily long lower than they would score concisely written papers. Double Submission Policy Authors are required to include a declaration stating that the scientific contribution of their work is original: this means that no paper with similar results has been published, or is submitted for consideration at another venue during the review period of Eurographics 2017. Any paper that does not adhere to these requirements will be rejected without review. Re-Submitted Material For papers that have previously been reviewed by other venues and have been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are encouraged to provide a cover letter to describe the history of the paper (however, this does not imply reviewer continuity). This cover letter can also answer the comments made in the previous reviews, by either listing the changes that were made to comply with them, or discussing/rebutting/clarifying some elements if need be. Though not mandatory, this procedure is strongly encouraged. The cover letter has to be submitted through SRM as an Additional Attachment (see last section of the SRM upload form for details). Rebuttal, Notification, Publication, and Prizes * The reviews will be made available to the authors on December 1st, 2016. During a rebuttal period from December 1st to December 6th, 2016, authors will be able to submit a brief document to address any factual errors or clarify any issues raised by reviews. * The date for notification of the results of the first round of the review process is December 23rd, 2016. * Revised versions of the papers conditionally accepted in the first round must be submitted by January 18th, 2017. * The final notification of the outcome of the second reviewing round will be made on February 1st, 2017. * The camera-ready version of accepted papers will be due on February 15th, 2017. * From all accepted and presented papers, an international jury will select the best papers. The best paper will receive the Günter Enderle Award, including a cash prize of 1,000 Euros, presented at Eurographics 2017. For any question concerning full paper submissions please contact the papers program co-chairs: <mailto:chairs-eg2017@eg.org> chairs-eg2017(a)eg.org Full Papers Co-chairs Bedrich Benes, Purdue University, USA, <mailto:bbenes@purdue.edu> bbenes(a)purdue.edu Loïc Barthe, IRIT, Université de Toulouse, France, <mailto:loic.barthe@irit.fr> loic.barthe(a)irit.fr
