Open Position with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group Bremen PhD research position with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group at the University of Bremen, Germany, to be filled as soon as possible Salary is according to the German Federal pay scale (TV-L 13). Job Description: The work in this position will be carried out within the SFB "EASE - Everyday Activity Science and Engineering" (funded by the DFG), which is to perform fundamental research to enable robots to do human everyday activities, such as setting a table or loading a dish washer. One strand of research of the CGVR lab in this endeavor is to develop algorithms such that robots can "envision" the outcomes of their tentative plans by simulating the real world around them before they actually follow through with their plan. This requires novel methods for faster-than-realtime physically-based simulation and the development of predicates in order to evaluate the outcomes. In another strand, we will deal specifically with the challenge of grasping. Here, the task is to develop novel methods such that a human user can grasp virtual objects using a virtual hand with high simulation fidelity and high dexterity. The goal is to allow humans to interact with virtual objects just like in real live, and to study their grasping behaviors under a large variety of scenarios and parameters. The tasks will also comprise a small amount of help with teaching in the computer science program (e.g., as teaching assistant). About us: The position offers great opportunities for collaboration with other members of both the computer graphics group and other groups. This job provides a vibrant research environment where a broad range of activities related to 3D graphics algorithms and virtual reality are being pursued (see cgvr.cs.uni-bremen.de). The successful candidate will be working with a dynamic, friendly, and helpful team of computer graphics researchers. Our research group is part of the school of computer science at University of Bremen. Our university is a mid-sized university with about 20,000 students, a lot of them from abroad, offering a broad range of fringe benefits such as sports facilities, cultural activities, and daycare. Qualifications: Candidates should have an excellent Master's degree in computer science, or a related discipline such as mathematics, physics, etc. You should be passionate about your work and highly self-motivated. Required skills are solid experience in C++ software development, and a good command of English (reading/writing/speaking). Ideally, you have specialized in real-time computer graphics or physically-based simulation, you are capable of effectively applying mathematical methods, and you have knowledge in GPGPU programming. In addition, the successful candidate will be highly self-motivated, passionate about their work, and have good ability to work both independently as well as in a team in a multidisciplinary environment. Speaking German is a plus, but not required. Conditions of employment: The position is available until mid 2021 (under the condition of job release). As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply. In case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification, disabled persons will be given priority. Applicants with a migration background are welcome.

Managing and understanding urban data are major issues as they are represented by several kind of different data sets at various scales. Urban data not only embed the geometry of the city model, but also data related to human activities (e.g. social data, transportation, mobility, history), to physical phenomena (e.g. light, wind, heat), and to environment (e.g. geography, climate). Thus, the processing of urban data is a huge challenge for current GIS and computing capabilities, especially 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 workshop aims to gather in a same place GIS, BIM and computer graphics communities. Location ======== Following the success of the 4th workshop on Urban Data Modelling and Visualisation in Liège, Belgium, the smart living lab and the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland in Fribourg propose the 5th edition of the workshop. Under the auspice of the Eurographics organization, the workshop will held on November 24 in Fribourg, Switzerland. Important dates ========== July 16, 2017 : Paper submission August 25, 2017 : Author notification October 27, 2017 : Camera-ready paper November 24, 2017 : Workshop Contributions addressing the following topics are welcome ========================================================= The fifth UDMV workshop focuses on users experiences and gives a special emphasis on urban comfort. The user experience relates to urban density, ambiances, vegetation, pollution, networks, and transports. Therefore, all papers dealing with the data modelling and visualisation of the user experience will be greatly appreciated. Other topics are also 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) * Modelling of thematic information relying on multi-dimensional city models (3D thematic information) Publications ============ Expected contributions are research papers, 8 pages in Eurographics (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.

COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2017: deadline extended

by eurographics＠eg.org

COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2017 (CGVC2017) The 35th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 14-15 September 2017, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2017/ The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK working in computer graphics and visual computing. It attracts researchers from across the country and from further afield. The 2017 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on increasing the dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such dialogue, we are seeking contributions mainly in the form of extended abstract and industrial demonstrations. However, we also welcome submissions of full papers. Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research. Papers will be refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will count as full paper publications. Extended abstract - an abstract of up to 1000 words, plus figures and references. An extended abstract can describe work in progress, interim results, industrial work, or research presented more fully elsewhere. Extended abstracts will also be refereed by a panel drawn from the EGUK programme committee. All accepted extended abstracts will be presented as posters in a poster session and authors of selected submissions will also be expected to give a 15 minute presentation at the conference. Industrial project abstracts - a technical abstract of 1 to 4 pages, demonstrating implementations and/or product development. Technical abstracts will be presented at the conference site as large format posters during a poster session. Accepted abstracts will appear in the Eurographics digital library. An extended abstract and industrial project abstract will not be considered as a full paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. See full instruction at the conference website. Topics include but are not limited to: ● Computer animation and image-based animation ● Computer-based arts and entertainment ● Vision-based techniques and image processing ● Acquisition and reconstruction techniques ● Graphics architectures and acceleration hardware ● Medical imaging ● Multimedia visualisation ● Computer Games ● Rendering techniques ● Scientific visualization and big data ● Information visualization and visual analytics ● Augmented reality and collaborative environments ● Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices ● Human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics ● Modelling methods Important Dates: Submission Deadline Notification of Acceptance Camera Ready Conference 16 June 2017 27 June 2017 14 July 2017 4 August 2017 14-15 September 2017 Conference co-chairs: Dr Tao Ruan Wan, Bradford University, UK, Dr Franck Vidal, and Bangor University, UK.

The authors of the best three papers will be invited to submit an extended article version of their paper as journal publication to Computer Graphics Forum. *) Short Papers: Short papers describe a more focused and concise research contribution and are likely to have a smaller - yet significant - scope of contribution. Potential examples include the presentation of initial results from novel ongoing research projects or the exploration of new application areas. Short papers draw from the same list of topics as full papers. Their length is limited to a total of 5 pages (including references). VCBM 2017 will also feature a poster program, the details of which will be announced in a separate call. == Submission Instructions == Papers can be submitted using the Eurographics SRM conference management system here: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2017> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2017 Login with your existing SRM account, or create a new one using the relevant links. Papers can be up to 10 pages (for full papers) or 5 pages (for short papers) and should be prepared using the Eurographics style. More details can be found on the SRM web page.
