Addendum to the 4th Call for Papers: - Extension of Paper Submission Deadline to June, 10th, 12:00pm - Notification Deadline moved to July, 31 - Updates on registration process ============================================================================ ============ 4th C A L L F O R P A P E R S NEW: Paper Submission Deadline: June 10, 2014, 12:00pm (UTC) The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage October, 6th - 8th 2014, Darmstadt, Germany in cooperation with TU Darmstadt Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt http://diglib.eg.org/GCH2014 Follow us on Twitter: @EGGCH2014 ============================================================================ ============ INVITATION: =========== You are cordially invited to contribute to the 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH) which, for the first time, will take place in Darmstadt, Germany. In the past, cultural Heritage scientists as well as ICT experts have collaborated to find solutions to optimize all aspects of digitally preserving, managing and delivering cultural information to new generations, but still many unsolved problems remain. Among the challenges the community faces are fast and economic, high quality, large scale 2D/3D digitization, certification, classification, annotation, visualization, storage and faithful 2D/3D replication of cultural heritage artefacts, the definition of digitization and preservation strategies for museum collections, the definition of standard data formats for digital models, the development of longterm data storage technologies as well as standard legislation for digital model rights. In continuation to last years' workshop series and to overcome the aforementioned challenges, we would like to invite and welcome all relevant stakeholders from cultural heritage institutions, academia, research, industry, economy, policy and law makers to create synergies, participate and contribute to the European Forum for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applied to the Cultural Heritage domain. Following a long tradition, this event focuses on the integration of digital tools and solutions into the practice of Cultural Heritage, Archaeology and Museums. LOCATION: ========= GCH 2014 will take place in Darmstadt, the birth place of the last Empress of Russia, Tsarina Alexandra Romanov. Darmstadt is famous for its 'Jugendstil' (art nouveau) buildings. The establishment of the Mathildenhöhe artists colony more than 100 years ago played its part in raising Darmstadt to prominence. Magnificent art nouveau houses give this hill of muses an unmistakable character. Through science, literature, art and architecture, Darmstadt has developed a wholly unique appeal that has earned it much acclaim. Today, Darmstadt boasts a great diversity of science and art, many publishing houses and graphic design studios, as well as the European Space Agency's satellite control centre and internationally acclaimed institutes for ICT, literature, art and music - all of this reflected in Darmstadt's official name as 'City of Science'. TOPICS: ======= The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshops on Graphics and Cultural Heritage aims to foster an international dialogue between the different fields of expertise and in particular allow ICT experts to have a better understanding of the critical requirements of CH scientists for managing, processing and delivering cultural information to a broader audience. Focus of this year's forum is to present and showcase new developments within the overall process chain, from data acquisition, 3D documentation, analysis and synthesis, semantical modelling, data management, to the point of virtual museums or new forms of interactive presentations and 3D printing solutions. GCH 2014 therefore provides scientists, engineers and CH managers a possibility to discuss new ICT technologies applied to data modelling, reconstruction and processing, digital libraries, virtual museums, interactive environments and applications for CH, ontologies and semantic processing, management and archiving, standards and documentation, as well as its transfer into practice. The result of this interaction will be disseminated through use of innovative digital techniques in research and education for Cultural Heritage and through publications: on-going project results, preliminary ideas and works in progress, and overviews of research in the use of digital technology in the context of Cultural Heritage. We therefore seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in theoretical or applied areas of the digital cultural heritage domain, challenging the state of the art solutions and leveraging new ideas for future developments. In particular: * 2/3/4D data capturing and processing in Cultural Heritage * Material acquisition and presentation * Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations * Data acquisition technologies * Digital libraries and 3D documents * Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance, audio, dance, oral) * Interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage * Visualization and Virtual Museums * 3D printing based on new appearance models * Preservation and digital archiving of artefacts * Metadata, classification schemes, ontologies and semantic processing * Multilingual applications, tools and systems for Cultural Heritage * Multimedia data acquisition, management and archiving * Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for Cultural Heritage * On-site and remotely sensed data collections * Serious games in Cultural Heritage * Storytelling and design of heritage communications * Standards and documentation * Usability, effectiveness and interface design for Cultural Heritage Applications * Tools for education and training in Cultural Heritage * New business models and technology transfer into practice GCH 2014 will also include "State-of-the-Art Reports", inspired by the EG STARs. These are longer papers providing useful novel overviews of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of GCH. They are survey papers in what the community considers important areas that have not been covered before or recently. Their aim is to give a detailed account of the principles, algorithms and open problems of a research area, so that an interested reader can quickly become up to speed in this field. We warmly encourage all colleagues to submit to the STAR reports. Two STAR reports will be selected by peer review and published in the local proceedings together with the short and project papers.

CGVC_2014 Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

Dear Colleagues, We invite submissions to the forthcoming Conference: COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2014 The 32nd Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 10-11 September 2014, University of Leeds, UK http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2014/ CGVC is a meeting place for all those in the UK and beyond, working in computer graphics and visual computing. The 2014 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on more dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such dialogue, we are therefore seeking contributions mainly in extended abstract and industrial demonstration. However, we also welcome submissions of full papers. Selected best papers from the CGVC2014 will be invited for submission to the Journal of Graphics Tools. Extended abstract - an abstract of up to 1000 words, plus figures and references. An extended abstract can describe work in progress, interim results, industrial work, or research presented more fully elsewhere. Extended abstracts will be refereed by a panel drawn from the EGUK programme committee. Authors of accepted abstracts will be expected to give a 15 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted abstracts will appear in the Eurographics digital library. For the avoidance of doubt, an extended abstract will not be considered as a full paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. See full instruction at the conference website. Industrial demonstration - a technical sketch of 1 page, demonstrating implementations and/or product development. Technical sketches are scheduled 15 minute presentation at the conference. Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research. Papers will be refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will count as full paper publications. Topics include but not limited to: * Computer animation and image-based animation * Computer-based arts and entertainment * Vision-based techniques and image processing * Acquisition and reconstruction techniques * Graphics architectures and acceleration hardware * Medical imaging * Multimedia visualisation * Modelling methods * Rendering techniques * Scientific visualization and big data * Information visualization and visual analytics * Augmented reality and collaborative environments * Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices * Human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics Submission will be handled via Eurographics submission system https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/CGVC_2014 Important Dates: ・ Extended Submission Deadline: 19 May 2014 ・ Notification of Acceptance: 24 June 2014 ・ Camera Ready: 8 July 2014 ・ Conference: 10-11 September 2014 Sincerely, CGVC 2014 Conference Co-Chairs Rita Borgo Tang Wen

The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage: Call for papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

Addendum to the 2nd Call for papers: - Updated submission guidelines for STARs (full paper submission, abstr. on May 9, full version on June 30) - Paper Deadline Extension for Full/Short papers (abstr. on May 9 and full papers on May 30) ============================================================================ ============ 2nd C A L L F O R P A P E R S Paper Submission Deadline: May 30, 2014 The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage October, 6th - 8th 2014, Darmstadt, Germany in cooperation with TU Darmstadt Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt http://diglib.eg.org/GCH2014 ============================================================================ ============ INVITATION: =========== You are cordially invited to contribute to the 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH) which, for the first time, will take place in Darmstadt, Germany. In the past, cultural Heritage scientists as well as ICT experts have collaborated to find solutions to optimize all aspects of digitally preserving, managing and delivering cultural information to new generations, but still many unsolved problems remain. Among the challenges the community faces are fast and economic, high quality, large scale 2D/3D digitization, certification, classification, annotation, visualization, storage and faithful 2D/3D replication of cultural heritage artefacts, the definition of digitization and preservation strategies for museum collections, the definition of standard data formats for digital models, the development of longterm data storage technologies as well as standard legislation for digital model rights. In continuation to last years' workshop series and to overcome the aforementioned challenges, we would like to invite and welcome all relevant stakeholders from cultural heritage institutions, academia, research, industry, economy, policy and law makers to create synergies, participate and contribute to the European Forum for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applied to the Cultural Heritage domain. Following a long tradition, this event focuses on the integration of digital tools and solutions into the practice of Cultural Heritage, Archaeology and Museums. LOCATION: ========= GCH 2014 will take place in Darmstadt, the birth place of the last Empress of Russia, Tsarina Alexandra Romanov. Darmstadt is famous for its 'Jugendstil' (art nouveau) buildings. The establishment of the Mathildenhöhe artists colony more than 100 years ago played its part in raising Darmstadt to prominence. Magnificent art nouveau houses give this hill of muses an unmistakable character. Through science, literature, art and architecture, Darmstadt has developed a wholly unique appeal that has earned it much acclaim. Today, Darmstadt boasts a great diversity of science and art, many publishing houses and graphic design studios, as well as the European Space Agency's satellite control centre and internationally acclaimed institutes for ICT, literature, art and music - all of this reflected in Darmstadt's official name as 'City of Science'. TOPICS: ======= The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshops on Graphics and Cultural Heritage aims to foster an international dialogue between the different fields of expertise and in particular allow ICT experts to have a better understanding of the critical requirements of CH scientists for managing, processing and delivering cultural information to a broader audience. Focus of this year's forum is to present and showcase new developments within the overall process chain, from data acquisition, 3D documentation, analysis and synthesis, semantical modelling, data management, to the point of virtual museums or new forms of interactive presentations and 3D printing solutions. GCH 2014 therefore provides scientists, engineers and CH managers a possibility to discuss new ICT technologies applied to data modelling, reconstruction and processing, digital libraries, virtual museums, interactive environments and applications for CH, ontologies and semantic processing, management and archiving, standards and documentation, as well as its transfer into practice. The result of this interaction will be disseminated through use of innovative digital techniques in research and education for Cultural Heritage and through publications: on-going project results, preliminary ideas and works in progress, and overviews of research in the use of digital technology in the context of Cultural Heritage. We therefore seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in theoretical or applied areas of the digital cultural heritage domain, challenging the state of the art solutions and leveraging new ideas for future developments. In particular: * 2/3/4D data capturing and processing in Cultural Heritage * Material acquisition and presentation * Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations * Data acquisition technologies * Digital libraries and 3D documents * Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance, audio, dance, oral) * Interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage * Visualization and Virtual Museums * 3D printing based on new appearance models * Preservation and digital archiving of artefacts * Metadata, classification schemes, ontologies and semantic processing * Multilingual applications, tools and systems for Cultural Heritage * Multimedia data acquisition, management and archiving * Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for Cultural Heritage * On-site and remotely sensed data collections * Serious games in Cultural Heritage * Storytelling and design of heritage communications * Standards and documentation * Usability, effectiveness and interface design for Cultural Heritage Applications * Tools for education and training in Cultural Heritage * New business models and technology transfer into practice GCH 2014 will also include "State-of-the-Art Reports", inspired by the EG STARs. These are longer papers providing useful novel overviews of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of GCH. They are survey papers in what the community considers important areas that have not been covered before or recently. Their aim is to give a detailed account of the principles, algorithms and open problems of a research area, so that an interested reader can quickly become up to speed in this field. We warmly encourage all colleagues to submit to the STAR reports. Two STAR reports will be selected by peer review and published in the local proceedings together with the short and project papers. GCH-STAR authors will present their work within a 60 minute presentation during GCH 2014. CONTRIBUTIONS: ============== We are seeking contributions by following means: - Full research papers presenting new innovative results: these papers will be published by Eurographics in the EG Symposium Series (diglib.eg.org/EG/DL/WS/VAST). - GCH-STAR reports providing a useful novel overview of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of this workshop series. We expect the STAR submissions as full version being available at submission deadline. Please, provide an extended abstract at abstract submission (max. 2 pages) - Short papers presenting preliminary results and work-in-progress or focusing on on-going projects, the description of project organization, use of technology, and lesson learned. These papers will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume. - Tutorials and Workshops: the conference will also host half-day and full-day working sessions that provide an opportunity to get in touch with ongoing projects and cutting-edge research in the field of digital technologies for Cultural Heritage. The best papers of the Conference will be proposed for an extended submission to ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage (http://jocch.acm.org/).

The topics are (but not limited to): - modeling - rendering - animation - imaging and image processing - graphics systems - applications. - information visualization - volume graphics - web graphics In particular, we are looking for: Tricks and Hacks: clever ways to optimize or otherwise improve known techniques or algorithms. Nuts-and-bolts methods that are used by the pros but aren't in the textbooks. Original Techniques and Algorithms: new ways to solve real problems. Methods that offer improvements over ones in common use. Novel Research Ideas: small, elegant research results. Simple good ideas. Often, just an "aha!" insight that has a straightforward implementation. Experience/Advice: how to make practical use of known research results. For example, what are the parameter settings that really work? How much precision is needed? How many data points? A selection of accepted papers will be considered by the editor of Journal of Graphics Tools to be invited for a short track submission to the journal. Important Dates: Submission deadline: June 15th Notification: July 15th Camera ready: July 25th Submission Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory and will be conducted using the (SRMv2) <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsrmv2.eg.org%2FCOMFy%2FConferenc e%252fEG_2014&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEh3tnxwSqeGsPuIt8vjUf6oonkPg> system. Papers must be written in English, must be anonymized, should not exceed 10 pages in length, and must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum publication guidelines. This event uses a double-blind reviewing approach, so please remove all personal data (like such as authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for evaluation.
