Based on the continued growth and success of the event, EuroVis will be a conference for the fourth time. The posters track will present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions 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. A EuroVis poster may describe a piece of work in any aspect of visualization. For directly-submitted posters, we particularly encourage summary report of collaborative projects, work in progress, and application case studies. Important Dates: - submission: 23:59GMT, Tuesday, 7/Apr/2015 - notification: Monday, 20/Apr/2015 Submission: We solicit poster submissions in the form of a poster and an accompanying sketch (i.e., an extended abstract of at most 2 pages, with an additional page allowed for references only). Posters will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage double-blind process. Accepted poster will be presented at the poster session of the conference. Both a PDF version of the poster and the sketch will be included on the conference USB sticks. Traditionally, the materials in a poster/sketch can be reused later by the original authors for a more extensive publication (e.g., a full paper) with more detailed content and mature results. This should not be considered as self-plagiarism. However, as posters/sketches are citable, researchers are encouraged to acknowledge novel ideas and results presented in posters/sketches. Short papers are submitted using the SRM submission system: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EuroVisPosters_2015> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EuroVisPosters_2015 See <http://www.eurovis2015.it/for-submitters/author-guidelines> http://www.eurovis2015.it/for-submitters/author-guidelines for more informations. --------------------------------------------------------- General Chair - Enrico Gobbetti, CRS4, Italy Posters Program Co-Chairs - Ross Maciejewski, Arizona State University, USA - Fabio Marton, CRS4, Italy

Full Papers Deadline for Submission - 29th March !!!!! ============================================================================ ============================ DigitalHeritage is the international event for those working on information technology for heritage. A "federated" world congress of the leading international societies, organizations, and events around IT for heritage, DigitalHeritage 2015 will bring together for the second time, VSMM, Eurographics GCH, Arqueológica 2.0, Archaeovirtual, and special events from CAA, CIPA, Space2Place, ICOMOS ICIP, and more, all in one venue with a prestigious joint publication. A groundbreaking public display of cutting edge digital heritage projects will also grace the conference venue at Granada's Alhambra and Parque de las Ciencias. Following the successful format of the first DigitalHeritage in 2013, the conference will have a single call for papers and a coordinated scientific review process across all the federating events. We are seeking original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in theoretical or applied Digital Heritage areas. All papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed by at minimum 3 referees from the International Scientific Committee. Every submission will have at least one technical and one cultural reviewer to ensure a rich diversity of accepted works spanning both technology and the humanities. All submissions will be reviewed for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. Digital Heritage 2015 is composed of a number of parallel tracks, including full and short papers, special sessions (tutorials, workshops and panels), exhibitions, and special events. SUBMISSIONS =========== Since this is a joint World Congress, you need to submit only once to be considered for the integrated joint proceedings of all affiliated events. We remind that we will have a single review process and publication. Each submission shall indicate the specific Digital Heritage 2015 Theme (see below) that is more relevant. You may submit to participate in DigitalHeritage in several ways: PAPERS Full (8-page properly formatted paper via EasyChair) Short (4-page properly formatted paper via EasyChair). Short papers can be presented as oral presentations or posters. Note that papers not considered ready for full publication may be redirected as posters. SPECIAL SESSIONS Workshop/Tutorial/Panel (up to 4-page overview via EasyChair) EXPO Exhibit (up to 4-page overview via EasyChair) See the following sections for submission details and deadlines. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE ==================== All submissions will need to be submitted by means of EasyChair that is accessible through https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=digitalheritage2015 FULL AND SHORT PAPERS --------------------- Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages for full papers (including figures, tables and references) and 4 pages for short paper presentations. Authors should select a single scientific Theme for each submission. The two best papers on each theme will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper to a an International Journal including: ACM Journ. on Computing and Cultural Heritage - JOCCH (http://jocch.acm.org/) Journal of Cultural Heritage (Elsevier, http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-cultural-heritage/) Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage - DAACH (Elsevier, http://www.journals.elsevier.com/digital-applications-in-archaeology-and-cul tural-heritage/) Also this year all full papers within the proceedings will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore digital library and co-placed in the EG Digital Library. Short papers will be presented at the event by either an oral presentation or by means of a poster and e-posters presentation. Authors of a short paper should indicate the preferred way of presentation (Oral or Poster). As the conference adopts a double-blind reviewing process, authors must ensure that any information that links authors or co-authors, e.g. affiliations, contact details, e-mails, to the paper are removed on the paper for the first submission step. Registration details on easyChair should remain at place. Full and Short papers must be formatted in IEEE double column, single space format, A4 page. The word style or the LaTeX template can be downloaded from the IEEE site. SPECIAL SESSIONS ---------------- Special Sessions will include: Tutorials, Workshops and Panels For a Special Session proposal to be considered for acceptance at Digital Heritage 2015, the proposed topic needs to be a presentation of teaching objectives (tutorials), contributions to the state-of-the-art, new initiatives or an emerging area in one of the core themes of the conference. The topic should be timely and significantly important to the audience, and the speakers need to convey compelling information about it. Tutorials should be planned as half-day or full-day, at introductory, intermediate or advanced levels, and could cover any theme among the entire spectrum of topics of the Conference. They could focus vertically on technology, or could demonstrate its potential for creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can be used to do it. While proposing a tutorial, authors should consider that tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and development to education, curatorship and applications. Proposals for Workshops and Panels will be judged by the ability to bring together key researchers from the CH as well as ICT domains, aiming at introducing a new area to the overall community, to further develop it, and to help establishing a larger research community beyond that area. Special session proposals covering multi-disciplinary areas are particularly encouraged, as well as those proposals regarding common challenges, e.g. (and not restricted to) Methods in Archaeology, Museums and Technology, etc. Special Session submissions (up to 4 A4-pages) should contain the following information: - A title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the DH community (not more than 1,500 words); - Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement of their research interests and areas of expertise; - A short CV for each presenter, participant or authors who have agreed to participate with their results to the session - A description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); - Any special requirements for technical support. Additionally, Tutorial proposals should include: - A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported as well. Workshop proposals must include: - The intended length and format of the workshop and the forecasted number of attendees; - A proposed budget (as DH workshops are expected to be self-financing).

Deadline extension: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Editing (WICED 2015)

by eurographics＠eg.org

The deadline for this EG workshop is being extended until Sunday, March 15. Check the workshop web site <https://wiced2015.inria.fr/> https://wiced2015.inria.fr/ for updates. Please register your submissions before March 10 on the EG submission site at <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/WICED_2015> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/WICED_2015 with a title and abstract to ease the reviewing process. The organizers, William Bares, Marc Christie and Rémi Ronfard ============================ 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 games and virtual worlds. Cinematics produced in virtual worlds play a role not just for entertainment, but also for training, education, health-care communication, simulation, visualization and many other contexts. The automatic creation of cinematics in these environments holds the potential to produce video sequences appropriate for the wide range of applications and tailored to specific spatial, temporal, communicative, user and application contexts. 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. This third workshop on intelligent cinematography and editing 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 teaching, training or therapeutic goals. The workshop is open to researchers and industrial experts working on the many related aspects of digital cinematography and film editing in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, visualisation, interactive narrative, cognitive and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational aesthetics and visual effects. These researchers will draw upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic artworks in virtual worlds and the real world. Topics of interest o Camera path planning o Visibility computation o Viewpoint entropy o Navigation techniques and proximal exploration o Interactive camera control metaphors o Approaches to framing and composition of individual shots o Automatic lighting design o Intelligent staging and blocking of virtual lights, cameras and actors o Expressive performance of virtual characters o Intelligent video editing tools o Efficient algorithms for camera placement and shot sequence selection o Natural user interfaces for camera control and video editing o Parallels between cinematic and linguistic communication o Cognitive models of the comprehension of virtual cinematics o Re-cinematography, re-lighting and re-framing of live-action video o Computer-assisted multi-camera production o Virtual cinematography as a pre-visualisation tool for real-world filming o Intelligent tools and novel interfaces for in-game cinematics, replays, and machinima o Intelligent generation of comic book layouts o Evaluation methodologies and user experience o Interactive and generative cinema o Cinematic serious game and applications o Collaborative visual storytelling o Non-linear storytelling o Transmedia storytelling o Creativity in cinematic communication Submission Researchers should submit one of: 8 page paper reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area. 1 page abstract describing emergent work or a vision of the near term future of intelligent cinematography. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee; review criteria will intentionally be inclusive rather than competitive, to encourage work in progress and a broader participation in a nascent community of researchers. Reviews will include feedback for authors regardless of decision for acceptance or rejection. All the selected papers (excluding statements of interest) will be published in the workshops working notes. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by EG Publishing provided in the EG Digital Library. Submission site: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/WICED_2015> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/WICED_2015
