CFP: Computers & Graphics Special Section - Aging and Weathering

by eurographics＠eg.org

CALL FOR PAPERS Aging and Weathering - Special Section of Computers & Graphics - <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/call-for-papers/spe cial-section-aging-weathering/> http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/call-for-papers/spec ial-section-aging-weathering/ Submission deadline: October 1, 2013 Guest Editors: Stéphane Mérillou, Université de Limoges Carles Bosch, Universitat de Girona AIMS AND SCOPE: Aging and weathering have been very active research fields for many years now. Due to the complexity and variety of materials change in appearance, such topics are of interest for a very large part of the Computer Graphics community. Aging and weathering phenomena often involve changes in reflection properties, color, and geometry, simultaneously and over time. Moreover, the characteristics of the surrounding environment, the shape of the objects and their material properties influence all these processes. Despite recent advances in simulation and reproduction techniques, there are many challenges still worth pursuing in this area. New aging models are required for reproducing specific effects, both at single and multiple levels of detail. Furthermore, combining multiple effects and using advanced contextual information are necessary to further enrich aging models. In addition, dealing with large-scale scenes requires more efficient and flexible approaches, providing more user control than that afforded in many present-day techniques. In this Special Section, we seek contributions spanning all aspects of aging and weathering, ranging from modeling to rendering, as well as from theory to practice. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * First-principle simulations for aging and weathering * Procedural models * Example-based and data-driven methods * Image-based approaches * Acquisition procedures and representation of time-varying data * Real-time techniques * Perceptual aspects of aging and weathering * Applications * Validation techniques If you are not sure whether a given idea or topic would suit this Special Section, please contact the Guest Editors. IMPORTANT DATES: September 16, 2013 Special Section opens October 1, 2013 Submissions due November 7, 2013 First decisions to authors December 1, 2013 Revised versions due December 20, 2013 Final decisions communicated to authors January 8, 2014 Final versions of accepted papers due March, 2014 Publication online May, 2014 Paper available SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Computers & Graphics is an Elsevier publication. Authors are encouraged to use two-column Elsevier format with inline images.

REMINDER: SCA Regular Registration Deadline is Friday!

by eurographics＠eg.org

Symposium on Computer Animation 2013 July 19-21 Anaheim, CA, USA Call for Participation ***The Regular Registration deadline is this Friday, June 28th!*** The 12th annual Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) will take place in sunny Anaheim, California from July 19-21, immediately before SIGGRAPH. With 20 full papers, 4 short papers. and 4 TVCG papers, it promises to be a memorable event. This year's SCA features two exciting keynotes: * Michiel van de Panne (University of British Columbia) Title: Movement Skills for Physics-based Characters: A Roadmap Abstract: Physics-based character animation has a long history as a promising method for modeling the motion of humans and animals. Tremendous progress has been made in this area over the past twenty-five years. However, much work still remains to be done before these methods can become truly successful. Our best models for simulating motions (and controlling robots) still fall well short of the agility, adaptability, and range of skills seen in nature. What have we learned? What is the missing ingredient? When might we realize "downloadable skills" for our simulated characters, our robots, and perhaps our brains? I will present my own roadmap of where we have been, the lessons learned, and where we may need to go next. * Ron Henderson (DreamWorks Animation) Title: The Croods: Modern Technology for a Prehistoric World Abstract: DreamWorks Animation produces family entertainment that is enjoyed by audiences worldwide. It is a major consumer of technology, and employs a skilled workforce of scientists and engineers working to advance the state of the art in computer graphics for film production. In this talk we look at some of the key technology behind our recent film The Croods (2013). The movie follows the story of the world's first family as they embark on the journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed. Production for The Croods required many diverse locations to represent the exotic world for this adventure, and an equally diverse set of visual effects challenges: earthquakes and landslides, liquids from tar to shallow seas, torches and wildfires, pyroclastic flow and massive deforming volumes. We review how our technology for achieving these effects have evolved rapidly over the last 3-4 years, showcase some of the artistic achievements in this film, and lay out some of the technology challenges we need to overcome in the future.

Our confirmed speaker list for this year includes: Stelian Coros, Disney Research, Zurich Stephen Guy, University of Minnesota Mark Pauly, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) Ben Sunshine-Hill, Havok 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 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, as well as presentations by a selection of established researchers in areas related to games and simulation. The conference program will also include cultural and social events that foster casual and friendly interactions among the participants. The relevant topics include (but are not limited to): Animation Systems Animation Algorithms and Techniques Character Animation Behavioral Animation Facial Animation Particle Systems Simulation of Natural Environments Natural Motion Simulation Virtual Humans Physics-based Motion Crowd Simulation Path Planning Navigation and Way-finding Flocking and Steering Behaviour Camera Motion Object Manipulation Motion Capture Techniques Motion Analysis and Synthesis Gesture Recognition Papers should be submitted using the MIG online submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mig2013 Papers should be formatted using the SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines: http://www.siggraph.org/sites/default/files/acmsiggraph.zip There are several options for submission which are detailed below. The review process will be double-blind. Long papers: Long papers should be 7-10 pages long. They should include a significant contribution to the state of the art. Short Papers: Short papers should be 4-6 pages long. Short papers should include an augmentation or new application of existing work. Short papers can also contain the mature seeds of new research.

Research Assistant/PostDoc - Visualization of Neuroscientific Data

by eurographics＠eg.org

Research Assistant/PostDoc - Visualization of Neuroscientific Data The Virtual Reality Group at RWTH Aachen University focuses on application-driven research in virtual reality and scientific visualization. We are currently looking to expand our team in the area of large data visualization. The open position is embedded in the Human Brain Project, one of two FET EU flagship projects (http://www.humanbrainproject.eu). You will be developing visualization methods for heterogeneous data sets including, e.g., medical imaging data, experimentally acquired data, and large-scale neural network simulations. Major challenges are the heterogeneity and volatility of existing workflows and the size and amount of available data sets. As part of your work you will present your results at internationally visible venues. Successful candidates will have a university degree in computer science or a related subject. You have specialized in scientific visualization, real-time computer graphics, and/or parallel programming. In addition, you have acquired solid skills in software development, ideally while participating in one or more major software projects. You are highly motivated to work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment. You will be employed by RWTH Aachen University, one of Germany's premier institutions in engineering and science, as a full-time research assistant (TV-L E13) or PostDoc (TV-L E14). As a research assistant, you will be given the opportunity to work towards a PhD degree in computer science. As a post-doc you will conduct independent research in order to further sharpen and extend your academic profile and advise PhD students during their daily research work. For more information please contact Prof. Dr. Torsten Kuhlen Head Virtual Reality Group, RWTH Aachen University Email: kuhlen(a)vr.rwth-aachen.de or mail your formal application to Rechen- u. Kommunikationszentrum RWTH Aachen z. Hd. Heide Walaszkowski Seffenter Weg 23 D-52074 Aachen

SCA 2013 Call for Posters

by eurographics＠eg.org

SCA 2013 Call for Posters The SCA poster and demo session is the perfect opportunity for authors to display late-breaking technical achievements that are not yet ready for publication as a full paper. As in previous years, the poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA program. The poster session will be held Friday evening, and will follow a fast-forward session during which all presenters will give a one-minute description of their work. A Best Poster award will be presented to the top poster. Posters are not formal publications. Work submitted as a poster is still eligible for later publication, and will be exempt from inclusion in the ACM and Eurographics Digital Libraries. However, the 2-page extended abstracts will still be distributed to the attendees on the preprint proceedings USB drive. For further details and submission instructions please visit: <http://sca2013.cs.tamu.edu/callForPosters.html> http://sca2013.cs.tamu.edu/callForPosters.html The deadline for the extended abstract submissions is this Friday, May 31.

C&G Special Section on Uncertainty and Parameter Space Analysis in Visualization

by eurographics＠eg.org

C&G Special Section on Uncertainty and Parameter Space Analysis in Visualization (Submission Deadline: ***July 15, 2013***) For details see: <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/call-for-papers/unc ertainty-and-parameter-space-analysis-in-visualization/> http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/call-for-papers/unce rtainty-and-parameter-space-analysis-in-visualization/ Uncertainty and parameter space analysis in visualization are becoming increasingly prevalent and play an important role in astronomic, (bio)-medical, industrial, and engineering applications. All these areas require methods and techniques which help domain specialists to understand the processes involved in data generation, the reliability of the data, and the distribution of and reasons for uncertainty. Furthermore, with increasing algorithmic complexity additional questions arise: How does a slight parameter change modify the result? How stable is a parameter? In which range is a parameter stable, or which parameter set is optimal for a specific problem? Such questions are frequently neglected when new visualization techniques are introduced. This special section of Computers and Graphics on Uncertainty and Parameter Space Analysis in Visualization is a follow up initiative to the Guest editors IEEE VisWeek 2012 tutorial with the same name (see <http://bit.ly/R93BXv> http://bit.ly/R93BXv). Our aim is to promote research which takes into account the various aspects of uncertainty and its influence on the visualization pipeline, as well as algorithmic stability and the exploration of parameters. We invite the authors to submit high-quality research-focused contributions of all aspects of uncertainty visualization and parameter space analysis. Important Dates: June 15, 2013: Special Section opens for submissions July 1, 2013: Abstracts due July 15, 2013: Submissions due August 15, 2013: 1st Decision September 15, 2013: Revised versions due September 30, 2013: Final decision October 15, 2013: Final versions of accepted papers due December 2013: Publication Guest editors: Christoph Heinzl Stefan Bruckner Eduard Gröller
