Workshop: The 2nd Workshop on Visualization in Environmental Sciences (EnvirVis) The EnvirVis-Workshop aims to bring together researchers in the area of visualization of geo-scientific, environmental or climate data to present and discuss recent developments in the field. The workshop "Visualization in Environmental Sciences" invites both contributions in the fields of scientific visualization and visual data integration with a broad application area in environmental research. Important Deadline: 09 March 2014: Submission of Workshop Contribution Organizers: Karsten Rink, Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research, UFZ, Leipzig, Germany Olaf Kolditz, Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research, UFZ, Leipzig, Germany Gerik Scheuermann, Leipzig University, Germany *** Workshop: Towards Visualization Literacy In recent years, visualization has reached almost every walk of life. While the value of visualization has been appreciated by most people, the widely-used visual representations remain fundamentally similar to those invented some 300 years ago. When visualization research is leaping ahead with innovative visual designs, we need to find effective means for improving the visualization literacy within the larger population that produces and consumes visual data analysis content as an integral part of the agenda for visualization science and technology. The workshop aims to engage visualization educators, practitioners, and researchers in a discussion where we define and promote a new research agenda focused on understanding and enriching popular visualization literacy. Important Deadline: Organizers: Mario Romero, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. Maria Velez, CA Technologies, USA. Greg McInerny, Oxford, UK. Deborah Silver, Rutgers University, US. Min Chen, Oxford University, UK. *** Workshop: Toward Visualization-Specific Heuristic Evaluation This workshop is meant to be a community-wide collaborative effort to further develop visualization-specific heuristics for use with visualizations and visualization research. We will begin with a short overview of heuristic evaluation as an evaluation technique - both inside and outside the visualization community - then begin our work of further developing a set of heuristics most appropriate for use with visualizations. We intend to use ThinkTank - a group support software tool - to help capture community input and to facilitate that effort. With community-wide participation and engagement, we expect to emerge from this workshop with a more fully-developed set of visualization-specific heuristics for further application and research within the visualization community. Organizers: Alvin Tarrell, College of Information Science & Technology, University of Nebraska-Omaha, USA. Ann Fruhling, School of Interdisciplinary Informatics; University of Nebraska-Omaha, USA. Rita Borgo, Swansea University, UK. *** Outreach Event: Introduction to Data Visualisation Training Event Description This event will provide delegates with a comprehensive introduction to the art and science of data visualisation. Delivered through an energetic blend of teaching, interactive exercises and discussions, delegates will learn about the most effective techniques for visually analysing and communicating data. The emphasis of the training is critical thinking, helping you to most astutely rationalise all the decisions you are faced with in any context. You will leave with an enhanced appreciation of the many different practical and creative choices, broadening your visual vocabulary and inspiring you to feel more confident when faced with future challenges. Organizer: Andy Kirk, Visualising Data Ltd *** Outreach Event: Workshop on Open Source in Visualization (OSVIS) The goal of this workshop is to present, discuss and assess the development and use of Open-Source Software (OSS) for scientific visualization. This one-day workshop will bring together developers and users of well-known OSS for visualization and will focus on user's experience in specific scientific and industrial contexts.

UDMV 2014 - Eurographics Workshop on Urban Data Modelling and Visualisation - EXTENDED DEADLINE

by eurographics＠eg.org

- UDMV 2014 - Eurographics Workshop on Urban Data Modelling and Visualisation 2nd edition EXTENDED DEADLINE - January 31, 2014: Paper submission April 6th 2014 - Strasbourg, France http://udmv.udg.edu/2014 Important dates: - December 16, 2013: Call for papers - January 31, 2014: Paper submission - March 7, 2014: Author notification - March 21, 2014: Camera-Ready Paper Due - April 6, 2014: Workshop date The objective of this workshop is to discuss the modelling and visualisation of the city at various temporal and spatial scales, and aims at sharing associated techniques, methods, uses and points of view. Managing and understanding urban data are major issues as there are represented by several kind of different data at different scales. Urban data not only embed the geometry of the city model, but also data related to human activities (eg. social data, transports, mobility, history), to physical phenomenon (eg. light, wind, heat), and to environment (eg. geography, climate). Thus, the processing of urban data is a huge challenge for current computing capabilities, specially considering all the sustainable development parameters related to architectural design, urban planning and urban climate studies; but also considering the specific needs of entertainment, cultural heritage or any domains using urban data. The issues found in urban data modelling and visualisation are shared by various domains (eg. Computer Graphics, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Human-Computer Interface, GIS, Conceptual Modelling and others) and are related to data quality, the complexity of the cities and the decision-making processes. Contributions addressing the following topics are welcome: - Modelling the static and dynamic features of the city (spatio-temporal data) - Multi-scale geometric data (from building scale to urban scale) - Multi-scale temporal data (from real time to history time) - Visualisation of several urban data layers (aggregated indicators) - Visual analytics using urban data (decision making processes and CAD) - Acquisition and generation of real or realistic urban data Publication Expected contributions are research papers, 6 pages in EG publication format, presenting unpublished methods, algorithms and techniques with established results. All accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference by one of the authors, and will be published in the EG Digital Library.

UDMV 2014 - Eurographics Workshop on Urban Data Modelling and Visualisation

by eurographics＠eg.org

- UDMV 2014 - Eurographics Workshop on Urban Data Modelling and Visualisation 2nd edition April 6th 2014 - Strasbourg, France http://udmv.udg.edu/2014 Important dates: - December 16, 2013: Call for papers - January 24, 2014: Paper submission - March 7, 2014: Author notification - March 21, 2014: Camera-Ready Paper Due - April 6, 2014: Workshop date The objective of this workshop is to discuss the modelling and visualisation of the city at various temporal and spatial scales, and aims at sharing associated techniques, methods, uses and points of view. Managing and understanding urban data are major issues as there are represented by several kind of different data at different scales. Urban data not only embed the geometry of the city model, but also data related to human activities (eg. social data, transports, mobility, history), to physical phenomenon (eg. light, wind, heat), and to environment (eg. geography, climate). Thus, the processing of urban data is a huge challenge for current computing capabilities, specially considering all the sustainable development parameters related to architectural design, urban planning and urban climate studies; but also considering the specific needs of entertainment, cultural heritage or any domains using urban data. The issues found in urban data modelling and visualisation are shared by various domains (eg. Computer Graphics, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Human-Computer Interface, GIS, Conceptual Modelling and others) and are related to data quality, the complexity of the cities and the decision-making processes. Contributions addressing the following topics are welcome: - Modelling the static and dynamic features of the city (spatio-temporal data) - Multi-scale geometric data (from building scale to urban scale) - Multi-scale temporal data (from real time to history time) - Visualisation of several urban data layers (aggregated indicators) - Visual analytics using urban data (decision making processes and CAD) - Acquisition and generation of real or realistic urban data Publication Expected contributions are research papers, 6 pages in EG publication format, presenting unpublished methods, algorithms and techniques with established results. All accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference by one of the authors, and will be published in the EG Digital Library.

Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2014 (3DOR'14)

by eurographics＠eg.org

----------------------------------------------------------- Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2014 (3DOR'14) ----------------------------------------------------------- A co-event of Eurographics 2014 April 6, 2014 in Strasbourg, France http://3dor2014.ensea.fr/ NEW: the submission deadline has been extended to December 22nd, 2013. # Important dates December 22, 2013: Paper submissions due (!! EXTENDED DEADLINE !!!) February 14, 2014: Notification of acceptance February 21, 2014: Camera-ready papers April 6, 2014: Workshop takes place # 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series 3D object representations have become an integral part of modern computer graphics applications, such as computer-aided design, game development and film production. At the same time, 3D data have become very common in various domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular biology and medicine. Indeed, the rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software, in particular the availability of low cost 3D scanners and modeling tools, has greatly facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation, and manipulation, giving the opportunity to a large user community to experience applications using 3D models. As the number of 3D models is growing rapidly, the problem of creating new 3D models has shifted to the problem of searching for existing 3D models. Thereupon, the development of efficient search mechanisms is required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories. The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on the common goal of 3D object retrieval, to present state-of-the-art work in the field. This will provide a cross-fertilization ground that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2014 will be the seventh workshop in this series and will take place on April 6, 2014 in Strasbourg (France), one day before Eurographics 2014. # Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and practical applications in all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full and short papers, as well as poster and system presentations. Further information about paper format and submission will be available on the workshop website soon. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D object similarity and matching - 3D object classification, indexing, and mining - Similarity of non-rigid shapes - Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation - Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval - Partial and many-to-many matching - Matching under uncertainty and noise - Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification - Sketch-based retrieval - Query interfaces and search modalities - Benchmarking issues - Relevance feedback methods - Active learning - Generative / Discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization - Applications in Multimedia, CAD, and Games industry - Applications in Biometrics, e-Science, e-Learning, Medicine, Biology, and Cultural Heritage - Multimedia Information Retrieval This year's workshop will also feature the 7th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC'2014). A separate call for participation will be issued. It is planned to have extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop appearing, after a further review, in a special issue of an international journal. Selected papers from previous workshops appeared in special issues of The Visual Computer (TVC) journal. # Organization Workshop Chairs Jean-Philippe Vandeborre, Télécom Lille / Institut Mines-Télécom, LIFL, France Hedi Tabia, ENSEA-ETIS, France Programme Chairs Remco Veltkamp, Utrecht University, NL Benjamin Bustos, University of Chile, Chile Programme Committee Ceyhun B.

Thereupon, the development of efficient search mechanisms is required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories. The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on the common goal of 3D object retrieval, to present state-of-the-art work in the field. This will provide a cross-fertilization ground that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2014 will be the seventh workshop in this series and will take place on April 6, 2014 in Strasbourg (France), one day before Eurographics 2014. # Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and practical applications in all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full and short papers, as well as poster and system presentations. Further information about paper format and submission will be available on the workshop website soon. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D object similarity and matching - 3D object classification, indexing, and mining - Similarity of non-rigid shapes - Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation - Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval - Partial and many-to-many matching - Matching under uncertainty and noise - Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification - Sketch-based retrieval - Query interfaces and search modalities - Benchmarking issues - Relevance feedback methods - Active learning - Generative / Discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization - Applications in Multimedia, CAD, and Games industry - Applications in Biometrics, e-Science, e-Learning, Medicine, Biology, and Cultural Heritage - Multimedia Information Retrieval This year's workshop will also feature the 7th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC'2014). A separate call for participation will be issued. It is planned to have extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop appearing, after a further review, in a special issue of an international journal. Selected papers from previous workshops appeared in special issues of The Visual Computer (TVC) journal. # Organization Workshop Chairs Jean-Philippe Vandeborre, Télécom Lille / LIFL, France Hedi Tabia, ENSEA-ETIS, France Programme Chairs Remco Veltkamp, Utrecht University, NL Benjamin Bustos, University of Chile, Chile Programme Committee Ceyhun B.
