Eurographics 2018: Second Call for State of the Art Reports
Accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum
State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) provide an up-to-date and comprehensive
overview of a special topic of current interest related to Computer
Graphics. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS, and
particularly encourage STARs on topics that have not been covered in any
recent previous STAR. STAR reports on cross-sectional, multi-disciplinary
areas are also highly welcomed. A STAR can also address the use of Computer
Graphics techniques in a different scientific discipline or in industrial
practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, please refer to the
EUROGRAPHICS digital library.
Accepted STARs will be published in a special issue of Computer Graphics
Forum, which appears right before the EUROGRAPHICS conference. The journal
status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with
conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on
the revised submissions. Submissions needing a major revision will be
transferred to the standard submission track of Computer Graphics Forum.
At EUROGRAPHICS 2018, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to
present the report at a level that allows non-experts in the particular
domain to follow the presentation.
For questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs co-chairs
Klaus Hildebrandt and Christian Theobalt: chairs-eg2018stars(a)eg.org
Submission details
Electronic submissions of STARs is mandatory and will be conducted using the
Submission and Review Management System
(https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2018STARs). Papers must be written
in English and prepared according to this year's template, which can be
found at: https://srmv2.eg.org/.
The deadline for the submission of STARs is 23:59 UTC/GMT, October 1 2017,
with notification of conditional acceptance on December 8, 2017. The revised
version of conditionally accepted STARs will have to be submitted at a later
date for a second review, and the camera ready version will be due about 6
weeks before the start of the conference.
The STARs undergo a single-blind review process. To demonstrate the relevant
expertise needed to produce the proposed STAR, authors are required to
submit the brief biographies of all authors as a piece of supplementary
materials.
We do not impose strict maximum lengths for these submissions. However, it
is recommended that papers be up to 20 pages excluding references and the
authors' short bios, to conform to the general recommendation for CGF survey
papers.
Timeline
All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT
October 1, 2017 Full STAR submission deadline
December 8, 2017 First review notification
February 5, 2018 Revised STAR submission
February 26, 2018 Second review notification
