Dear Colleagues,
The exciting EuroVis 2014 poster deadline is:
*** 8 April 2014 ***
EuroVis 2014 is re-introducing a poster track. The purpose of this
track is to 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.
The poster track will be managed by the co-chair team and the
International Program Committee (IPC) for the short paper track.
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 posters will be presented at the poster fast-forward session
and poster viewing session of the conference. Both a PDF version of the
poster and the sketch will be included on the conference USB stick.
In addition to directly submitted posters, some submissions to the
short paper track will be offered an opportunity to be presented as posters.
Such submissions will not require an additional review process.
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. 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.

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) that, for the first time, will take
place in Darmstadt, Germany.
Archaeologists and Cultural Heritage scientists as well as ICT experts have
in the past collaborated to find solutions to optimize all aspects of
managing and delivering cultural information to new generations, but still
many unsolved problems remain. In continuation to last years' workshop
series, we would like to invite you to 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.
- 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/).

A post-doctoral researcher is being sought to join the Institute of Computer
Graphics and Knowledge Visualisation at the Graz University of Technology
(see <http://www.cgv.tugraz.at> http://www.cgv.tugraz.at for details of the
group).
Duration: 1 year fixed-term, with the option to extend.
Salary: Starting from 48766.20 Euro per annum (3483.30 Euro gross per month,
14x per year).
Start date: May 2014
Description of the project:
The goal of the project is to make it easier to produce computerised models
from captured data. We have methods for finding curvatures and features in a
point cloud or triangle mesh and, based on those, developed a software tool
which aids the manual generation of good subdivision meshes from scan data.
Your work will be to investigate methods that automatically reduce a point
cloud or triangle mesh to a good coarse subdivision mesh. A good subdivision
mesh is not only accurate and coarse but also regular. The method for
finding high quality quadrilateral representations should be general and
applicable to complex meshes of arbitrary topology.
Requirements:
We are seeking a highly motivated researcher interested in the field of
Geometry Processing. The ap- plicant ideally has a good understanding of
geometric modeling and mesh generation. Experience in surface reconstruction
will be highly desirable. Due to the computational nature of the project,
program- ming skills are also required. You would be expected to hold, or be
close to completion of, a PhD in computer graphics or geometry processing.

Call for 16 PhD-Fellowships and 4 Post-Doc Positions in the area of Digital
Cultural Heritage
The "Initial Training Network for Digital Cultural Heritage: Projecting our
Past to the Future" with acronym ITN-DCH ( <http://www.itn-dch.eu>
www.itn-dch.eu), is the first and one of the largest Marie Curie fellowship
projects in the area of the e-documentation / e-preservation and Cultural
Heritage (CH) protection funded by the European Union under the FP7 PEOPLE
research framework ( <http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/>
http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/ ). The Project started on
the 1st of October 2013 and it is a consortium comprising of 14 full
partners and 9 associate members covering the entire spectrum of European CH
actors, ranging from academia, research institutions, industry, museums,
archives and libraries. The project aims to train 20 fellows (16 Early Stage
Researchers and 4 Experienced Researchers - 500 person months) in the area
of CH digital documentation, preservation and protection in order to create
for them a strong academic profile and market oriented skills which will
significantly contribute to their career prospects. The consortium and the
fellows training programme will be supported by a prestigious advisory
board.
ITN-DCH aims -for the first time worldwide- to analyze, design, research,
develop and validate an innovative multidisciplinary and inter-sectorial
research training framework that covers the entire lifecycle of digital CH
research for a cost- effective preservation, documentation, protection and
presentation of cultural heritage. CH is an integral element of Europe and
vital for the creation of a common European identity and one of the greatest
assets for steering Europe's social, economic development and job creation.
However, the current research training activities in CH are fragmented and
mostly design to be of a single discipline, failing to cover the whole
lifecycle of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) research, which is by nature a
multi-disciplinary and inter-sectorial research agenda. ITN-DCH targets all
aspects of CH ranging from tangible (books, newspapers, images, drawings,
manuscripts, uniforms, maps, artefacts, archaeological sites, monuments) to
intangible content (e.g., music, performing arts, folklore, theatrical
performances) and their inter-relationships. The project aims to boost the
added value of CH assets by re-using them in real application environments
(protection of CH, education, tourism industry, advertising, fashion, films,
music, publishing, video games and TV) through research on (i) new
personalized, interactive, mixed and augmented reality enabled e-services,
(ii) new recommendations in data acquisition, (iii) new forms of
representations (3D/4D) of both tangible /intangible assets and (iv)
interoperable metadata forms that allow easy data exchange and archiving.
The ITN-DCH project is seeking highly motivated and valuable researchers for
PhD positions in the entire field of Digital Heritage, such as: Data
Acquisition (Photogrammetry, Terrestrial laser scanning, GIS) and Computer
Vision data processing, 3D reconstruction and modeling, symbolic, semantic
and ontology representation, metadata, mixed and augmented reality
technologies, CH e-services. All the fellows are supposed to travel between
the project partners and attend a series of complementary training courses,
scientific workshops and summer schools.
The call for fellows is available on the ITN-DCH website:

CALL FOR PAPERS, SCA 2014
The 13th annual Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) will take place in
Copenhagen, Denmark on July 21-23. For more than a decade, SCA has been the
premier forum for innovations in the software and technology of computer
animation. Bringing together researchers and practitioners working in all
aspects of time-based phenomena, SCA's focused, single-track program creates
an intimate setting that encourages community interaction, promotes the
exchange of research results, inspires new ideas, and establishes new
collaborations.
Submission Deadline
===================
April 15, 2014
Conference chairs
=================
Kenny Erleben, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Julien Pettré, Inria,
France
Program Chairs
==============
Vladlen Koltun, Adobe Research, U.S.A.
Eftychios Sifakis, University of Wisconsin-Madison, U.S.A.
Regular Papers
==============
We invite submissions of original, high-quality papers on computer
animation, broadly defined as computation dealing with time-varying
phenomena. We particularly encourage submissions that broaden the scope of
the field, including work in robotics and mechatronics (animation of
physical systems), biomechanics and motor control (study of the animation of
biological systems), human-computer interaction (interactive control of
animation), and machine learning (learning to animate complex systems).
Each submission should be 7-10 pages in length, and will be reviewed by an
international program committee for technical quality, novelty,
significance, and clarity. All of the accepted regular papers will be
archived in the EG and ACM digital libraries. All submissions will be
considered for Best Paper Awards.
Short Papers
============
Continuing the highly successful short papers track from last year, we also
invite 4-6 page submissions for quick dissemination of fresh ideas. These
papers will undergo the same rigorous review process as regular papers, will
appear in the electronic proceedings, and will be archived in the EG and ACM
digital libraries.
Topics of Interest
==================
Animation authoring
Animation systems
Animatronics
Biomechanics
Clothing simulation
Computational fluid mechanics
