----------
EuroVA 2017 is the eighth international EuroVis workshop on Visual
Analytics.
It will take place June 12-13, 2017 in Barcelona, Spain.
Visual Analytics is a problem-solving and sense-making technology that
integrates analytical computations, visual representations, and interaction.
It includes the analysis of complex (massive, dynamic, ambiguous,
conflicting, .) data and information for gaining understanding, building
knowledge, and inferring insight. Visual Analytics aims at a synergistic
collaboration of humans and computers mediated through interactive visual
interfaces. As such, Visual Analytics is an interdisciplinary field of
research, including aspects of visualization, human-computer interaction,
statistics and mathematics, data management and knowledge representation,
data analysis and machine learning, cognitive and perceptual sciences, and
more.
EuroVA is an established workshop to present and discuss new ideas, methods
and theories, interesting applications and designs, and studies of the use
of Visual Analytics in practice.
The workshop will accept three paper types:
. Research papers present new unpublished concepts, methods, or
techniques
. Special session papers focus on a topic of particular topic of
interest
. Position papers express relevant and potentially controversial
standpoints
The workshop seeks to attract innovative, fresh and creative ideas with a
high potential of becoming significant contributions to the Visual Analytics
community.
Special Session on Interaction
Visual Analytics integrates the human in the loop. Interaction between the
human and Visual Analytics methods and tools is essential for effective data
exploration and analysis. EuroVA 2017 especially invites papers that focus
on interaction in Visual Analytics. Topics of interest for the special
session on interaction include but are not limited to:
. Interaction techniques for Visual Analytics
. Interface design for exploration and analysis
. New display environments and interaction modalities
. Guidance for Visual Analytics
. Syntax and semantics of interactions for data analysis activities
. Models of human-in-the-loop data analysis
. Collaborative Visual Analytics
Regular Topics
Regular topics of interest include but are not limited to:
. Visual representations of complex data
. Computational methods to support analysis tasks
. Data management, data provenance, and data uncertainty
. Theoretical foundations of Visual Analytics
. Cognitive and perceptual aspects
. Infrastructures and architectures for Visual Analytics systems and
services
. Visual Analytics applications
. Evaluation of Visual Analytics techniques and procedures
Position Papers

2017 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2017) Call for
Papers
=========================================================================
June 12-13, 2017, Barcelona, Spain
Co-located with EuroVis 2017
<http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/egpgv/egpgv2017/>
http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/egpgv/egpgv2017/
Dear colleagues,
The importance of parallel computing is increasing rapidly with the
ubiquitous availability of multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and cluster systems.
Computationally demanding and data-intensive applications in graphics and
visualization are strongly affected by this trend and require novel
efficient parallel solutions. The aim of this symposium is to foster the
exchange of experiences and knowledge exploiting and defining new trends in
parallel graphics and visualization.
The proceedings of the EGPGV Symposium will be published in the Eurographics
Proceedings Series and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Best papers from
the EGPGV symposium will be invited to submit an extended journal version to
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and
visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and systems for:
- large-data
- HPC and cloud environments
- (multi-)GPU computing, and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures
- shared and/or distributed memory architectures
- out-of-core
The symposium topics include:
- computationally and data intensive rendering
- scientific visualization (volume rendering, flow, and tensor
visualization)
- information visualization and visual analytics
- in-situ analytics and in-situ visualization
- simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation, collision
detection, acoustics)
- mesh processing, level-of-detail, and geometric methods
- visual computing (image- and video-based rendering, image processing and
exploitation, segmentation)
- scheduling, memory management, and data coherence
- distributed, parallel, or multi-threaded approaches
- mapReduce-based and database-related methods, algorithms or approaches,
query based visualization
- advanced hardware for data handling or visualization
- large and high resolution displays, virtual environments
- scientific, engineering, and industrial applications
Submission types
========================
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works. Two types
of submissions are accepted, as follows.
Full papers
========================
Full papers are expected to be eight to ten (8-10) pages in length, with the
final length appropriate to the contribution of the paper. Submissions are
to be formatted along the Eurographics paper publication guidelines.
We expect that full paper submissions will clearly discuss the novel and
significant contributions as well as related work in the field. Authors must
highlight how their contributions differ and advance the state of the art in
parallel graphics and visualization. The full paper and all supplementary
material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system.
Short papers
============================
This year we introduce a new type of submission: short papers. Short papers
target the same interest topics as full papers, but are maximally 4 pages in
length. As such, they typically address novel ideas or work in progress
which has not been sufficiently solidly validated as for full papers. Short
papers can also target use-cases and applications of parallel graphics and
visualization, presentation of parallel graphics and visualization tools and
systems, industry success stories, and showcases of applications making use
of parallel graphics and visualization. The short paper track thus broadens
the visualization showcase track that was present in earlier editions of
EGPGV. Short papers and their supplementary material, if any, must be
submitted via the PCS online system.
Accepted papers (both full and short) will appear in the symposium
proceedings and be published via the Eurographics Digital Library.
Submission process
=================
Papers are accepted when submitted via the PCS system
(precisionconference.com). Additional details with respect to the submission
process will be announced shortly on egpgv.org/egpgv2017
Reviewing process
=================
Both paper types (full and short) will be reviewed by at least three members
of the International Program Committee (IPC), in a single review pass. Full
papers deemed insufficient in terms of the contribution level expected for a
full paper, but presenting otherwise interesting, novel, and valuable
results, can be selected by the IPC to be accepted as short papers. The
review process is not double blind; we leave it to the latitude of the
authors whether they want to disclose their identity in their submissions.
Important Dates
=================
Papers Submission: March 6, 2017
Author Notification: April 20, 2017

EuroVis 2017 Short Paper Track
Call for Papers
** Extended Deadline ** Feb 27th 2017
--------------------------------------
For the sixth time, EuroVis 2017 features a short paper track to present
late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or
evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a
one-stage double-blind process by an international program committee. Short
papers will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications.
All accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference.
Submission Information
----------------------
Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 pages, with an
additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original
works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings,
magazine, journal, or edited book.
A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research
contribution and is likely to have a smaller - yet still significant - scope
of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper
types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The
following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full
papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be
suitable for short papers:
A new visualization technique or system and evidence of its utility
compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to
assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without
exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation).
An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization
technique or system with convincing evaluation.
An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system.
A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that
helps to understand its limitations.
A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a
significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the
implementation).
A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has
demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community (without extensive
evaluation of the methodology).
For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions please refer to
the guidelines in the Submitter Area on the conference web page at

Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and
Film Editing (WICED'2017).
http://wiced.inria.fr/
NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: February 24.
NEW TRACK for INVITED TALKS: Send one page abstract.
The expressive use of virtual cameras, mise-en-scene, lighting and editing
(montage) within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to extend the
communicative power of film and video into the artificial environments of
interactive games and virtual worlds.
At the same time, recent advances in computer vision-based object, actor and
action recognition make it possible to envision novel re-cinematography
(re-lighting, re-framing) and automatic editing of live-action video.
The workshop series is intended to bridge the gap between the two areas and
confront research being performed in both domains.
One common area of active research is the representation and
understanding of the story to be told and its relation to its communicative
goals. Another area is the extension of traditional film grammar towards
more immersive and interactive experiences, and the emergence of virtual
reality and augmented reality movie making.
This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and industrial
experts working in all aspects of digital cinematography and film editing
in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence,
computer vision, visualization, interactive narrative, cognitive
and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational
aesthetics and visual effects.
Drawing upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the
production and comprehension of cinematographic art-work, the workshop
seeks to offer a glimpse of the future of cinematography and film editing,
as well as a forum for discussion of outstanding research issues.
The 6th edition of the workshop will take place at Villa Lumiere, 25 rue du
Premier Film, in Lyon, France on April 24, 2017, immediately before
Eurographics 2017. The workshop will include a visit of the Lumiere Museum,
which honours the contribution to filmmaking by Auguste and Louis Lumière
- inventors of the cinématographe and fathers of the cinema.

Symposium on Visual Computing and Perception
June 7-8, 2017
TU Braunschweig, Germany
https://graphics.tu-bs.de/svcp17
Computer graphics, vision, and psychophysics form a scientific triad whose
interdisciplinary research is about to fundamentally change the way we drive
our cars, watch movies, play games, communicate with one another and
computers, socially interact, learn, live. In six distinguished lectures,
some of the most renowned scientists in these fields will share their view
on what has already been accomplished, which challenges still lie ahead, and
what we may expect in the future.
The symposium is intended to bring together all scientific communities
interested in visual computing and perception, to stir everyone's
imagination, and to foster exciting new research between graphics, vision,
and perception.
Distinguished lecturers:
Michael Bach: Imaging in our brain Optical illusions neither trick the
eye nor fool the brain
Heinrich Bülthoff: Perceptual Graphics: closing the loop between Perception,
Graphics and Computer Vision
Jan Koenderink: Construction of the mirror-world
Erik Reinhard: High dynamic range imaging: A soon-to-be-successful example
of industry adoption
Bernt Schiele: Computer Vision: Progress in the Last Decade and Open
Problems
Hans-Peter Seidel: 3D Image Analysis and Synthesis -- The World Inside the
Computer
