EuroVis 2009 -- Call For Posters and Demos
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite you to contribute to the first Poster/Demo session at
EuroVis 2009,
to be held in Berlin, Germany, June 10-12, 2009. EuroVis 2009 is the
eleventh
annual Visualization Symposium, jointly organized by the Eurographics
Working
Group on Data Visualization and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics
Technical
Committee. Poster/demo abstract submissions are due April 10, 2009.
All poster presenters are encouraged to bring a laptop to present
demos and/or
videos. In addition to the poster session itself, where all
presenters will
concurrently discuss their work with EuroVis attendees, there will be a
fast-forward session where presenters will have 60 seconds each to
preview
their work to the whole audience.
Posters/Demos is a venue for several kinds of work. We welcome
preliminary
findings that are not mature enough for a full paper, interesting
work with a
contribution smaller than a typical research paper (student projects
often
fall into this category), or late-breaking research where you would
benefit
from feedback from the community before writing it up as a full
paper. There
is no explicit research novelty requirement; for instance, we welcome
demonstrations of open-source software even if its research aspects have
already been published in another venue, presentations of commercial
visualization software, or videos showing visualization systems in
action.
Although a full literature review is not expected, the most relevant
previous
work should be cited, particularly if new research results are
presented.
The collection of accepted abstracts will be distributed to conference
attendees (xeroxed, black and white only), but they will not be
included in
the archival proceedings or indexed in a digital library. Thus,
posters do not
preclude the later submission of work as a full research paper at
EuroVis or
another venue.
Each poster abstract will be read and evaluated by the Conference
Chairs.
Submissions will be evaluated based on whether the content is
suitable for
EuroVis and not a repetition of the work of others. Authors of
posters that
are not accepted will receive summary reviews of their poster from
the chairs
explaining the decision and providing feedback.
Suggested topics for posters and demos include, but are not limited to:
- Visualization Taxonomies and Models
- Spatial Data in Visualization
- Non-Spatial Data (Information Visualization)
- Visualization Techniques
- Interaction in Visualization
- Visual Analytics, Visual Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
- Large Data Visualization
- Hardware for Visualization
- Visual Design
- Cognition and Perception
- Design Studies
- Novel Algorithms, Applied Mathematics
- Distributed, collaborative, mobile/ubiquitous visualization
- Evaluation and User Studies
- Visualization Systems
We also encourage submission of application oriented posters dealing
with visualization in different domains, e.g.
- Physical Sciences and Engineering
- Earth, Space and Environmental Sciences
- Bioinformatics, Life Sciences, Medical Research and Applications
- Information Sciences
- Business and Finance
- Software Development
- Humanities, Social Sciences, Education
Before submitting a poster and/or demo abstract, please note the
following:
- Poster abstract submissions should be in two-column format and not
exceed
one page. Authors should prepare and electronically submit a PDF
version of
their poster and/or demo abstract following the guidelines
http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/author-
instructions.pdf.
- Examples of one-page poster abstracts:
http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/poster-abstract-
example1.pdf
http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/poster-abstract-
example2.pdf
- Examples of corresponding posters:
http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/poster-example1.pdfhttp://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/poster-example2.pdf
- Further examples of nice posters: http://www.acm.org/uist/
posterexamplegallery/
- All abstract submissions in PDF format should be sent by email to
kaehler[at]zib.de before 24:00 GMT/UTC on April 10, 2009.
We are not accepting video submissions.
- The submission should clearly state if a demo or video will be
presented during the session.
- Notification about acceptance of posters & demos: April 16, 2009
- At least one of the poster authors must be present at the conference.
All questions pertaining to the EuroVis 2009 poster session should be
directed
to Ralf Kähler kaehler[at]zib.de.

analysis and the augmentation of creative behaviour. CAe also
investigates the creation of tools that can enhance the expressive power
of the fine and applied arts and furthers our understanding of aesthetic
evaluation, perception and meaning.
Dear EG members,
our annual conference is approaching. Please remember to register, the
early bird fees deadline is next Saturday, February 28th.

9th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS
http://www.smartgraphics.org/
May 28-30 2009
Salamanca, Spain
(EXTENDED) Submission deadline February 14th, 2009
Graphics become Smart Graphics when their design and implementation are grounded
in an understanding of human abilities, activities, and motivations from design
experience and the broad spectrum of cognitive and social sciences.
When knowledge from these diverse fields is combined with new methods, tools and
techniques in AI, HCI and computer graphics, environments are created that:
(1) engage the user and are aesthetically satisfying;
(2) participate in human cognition as external or distributed representations;
(3) are sensitive to the real-time demands of the interaction in the context of
the available informational and computational resources;
(4) adapt the form of the output according to a wider set of constraints such as
an individual's perceptual, attentive, and motor abilities and the nature of the
presentation media and available interaction devices.
The International Symposium on Smart Graphics aims at gathering people from the
fields of Cognitive Science, Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence and
Graphics Design to share experiences and experiments in this new and emerging
area of study.
*** Come and Join the Smart Graphics Experience ***
Smart Graphics 2009 welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners, as
well as artists and graphic designers interested in an interdisciplinary
approach to the design of smart interactive visual, auditory, and haptic displays.
Submission categories are divided into:
* Full research papers: these will encompass comprehensive descriptions of
original work within the scope of the symposium (limited to 12 pages in Springer
LNCS format).
* Posters: tentative or preliminary results of research or design work with
emphasis on the interdisciplinary evaluation of the ideas (limited to 4 pages in
Springer LNCS format). Poster papers will be included in the proceedings.
* System demonstrations: short descriptions of research or design work that the
authors intend to show and discuss in a demo session at the symposium (limited
to 2 pages in Springer LNCS format). System demonstration papers will be
included in the proceedings.
* Arts track: computer animations, interactive art, digital music, hybrid art,
etc. A two-three page proposal outlining the concept and technique of the
artwork. An international jury of renowned scientists and artists will select
the submissions that best represent the idea of <<Smart Graphics Arts>>.
Selected works will be exhibited during the Smart Graphics symposium, within the
framework of the 5th International Arts Festival of Castilla y Leon. A report of
the art track including all the selected works will be included in the
proceedings. The best piece will be awarded and its author will be invited to
the symposium.
Smartgraphics specially encourages young researchers to submit their ideas and
results. As in previous conferences, proceedings will be published in the
Springer Lecture Note in Computer Science (LNCS, www.springer.com/lncs) series.
Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):
* information visualization
* visual analytics
* graphical abstraction
* multimodal information presentation
* non-desktop interfaces
* user interaction
* sketch-based interfaces
* interaction science
* scene perception
* cognitive sciences
* user studies
* computer graphics
* artificial intelligence
* virtual and mixed reality
* graphics design
* technological art
This year, we propose a specific emphasis on visual analytics as well as all
kinds of transversal research that harnesses the power of humans and
technological artifacts in order to convey, understand and deal with complex
scientific and social processes.
Smart Graphics, beyond a conventional conference, will be intertwined with the
5th International Arts Festival of Castilla y Leon
(http://www.festivalcyl.com/), and we invite artists, technologists and scholars
from all disciplines to convene in Salamanca, May 28-30, 2009. Both during the
Smart Graphics Symposium and during the Festival (May 29-June 15) workshops,
system demonstrations, exhibitions, performances, panels and open discussions
related to how information technology is provided to the society and how art is
evolving and taking advantage of technological artefacts in its quest of new
artistic forms, will become part of the unique streets and buildings of UNESCO's
World Heritage city of Salamanca.

Aims and Scope
Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important
problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the
complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting
together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be
modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations.
Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation
techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries.
The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling,
animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena.
The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating
aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem
simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non
conscious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows
(animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this
area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. Authors are invited to
submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
- Plant structure modeling
- Ecosystem simulation
- Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog)
- Simulating liquid flows and rain
- Modeling fire and smoke
- Aging and weathering
- Terrain modeling

3rd WORKSHOP ON
DYNAMIC 3D IMAGING
IN CONJUNCTION WITH
Symp. of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM
September 08th, 2009, Jena, Germany
GENERAL INFORMATION
http://www.multi-sensorics.de/dyn3d
SCOPE
3D imaging sensors have been investigated for several decades. In recent
years, improvements on classical approaches such as stereo vision and
structured light on the one hand, and novel ToF-techniques on the other hand
have emerged, leading to 3D vision systems with radically improved
characteristics. Presently, these techniques make full-range 3D data
available
at interactive frame rates, and thus open the path towards a much broader
application of 3D vision systems.
The workshop focuses on sensor systems, data processing approaches and
systems
incorporating interactive, full-range 3D sensors in specific application
areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Development of full-range 3D sensors or sensor systems, including
- active and passive 3D imaging systems
- sensor simulation
* Multi sensor fusion incorporating full-range 3D sensors
* Data processing for dynamic full-range 3D-data, including
- calibration techniques
- sensor based image synthesis
- 3D object recognition and tracking
- 3D optical flow
* Applications using interactive, full-range 3D sensors, e.g. in
areas like
- autonomous robotics
- medicine and health care
- industrial automation
- surveillance
- human-machine interaction
- automotive
Novel results of theoretical and practical significance based on interactive
3D vision will be considered. All accepted contributions will be published
in
a volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

Final Call for Papers
Eurographics 2009 Workshop on 3D object retrieval
( http://3dor.ge.imati.cnr.it/ )
March 29, 2009
Munich, Germany
3D content is now widely recognized as the upcoming wave of digital media. Inexperience and professional users are becoming more and more actively involved in the content creation pipeline and ask for intuitive and effective tools for creating, sharing, retrieving and re-using 3D content. Search and retrieval of 3D objects is therefore rapidly become a key issue in the upcoming panorama of multimedia content, both in general usage scenarios, such as online gaming or 3D social networks, and in scientific domains, such as molecular biology and medicine. The development of efficient search mechanisms is required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories, both of a single class (such as human faces) and across classes.
The aim of this workshop is to stimulate researchers from different fields (computer vision, computer graphics, machine learning, human-computer interaction, semantic web) who work on the common goal of 3D object retrieval, to present state-of-the-art work in the field and thus provide a cross-fertilization ground that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area.
Topics
Topics of interest include but are not limited to :
- 3D object similarity and matching
- 3D Object classification, indexing, and mining
- Feature extraction, model decomposition and segmentation
- Partial and many-to-many matching
- Matching under uncertainty and noise
- Query interfaces and search modalities
- Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval
- Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification
- Sketch-based retrieval
- Benchmarking issues
- Relevance feedback methods
- Active learning
- Generative / Discriminative approaches in 3D object categorisation
- Applications in Multimedia industry
- Applications in CAD industry
- Applications in Games industry
- Applications in Biometrics
- Applications in e-Science
- Applications in e-Learning
- Applications in Medicine and Biology
- Applications in Cultural Heritage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
