Open position in CG/VR at U Bremen, Germany

by eurographics＠eg.org

Open Position with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group Bremen Research assistant with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group at the University of Bremen, Germany. Salary is according to the German Federal pay scale, TV-L 13, full position. Job Description: The work in this position will comprise 3D geometric algorithms and virtual reality in the context of medical simulation. The particular application is the training of surgeons for procedures involving the replacement of hip joints. The successful candidate will collaborate with other German partners providing 3D models, force-feedback, and game software platforms. The job of the successful candidate is to work on geometric algorithms for penetration computations and the simulation of milling during the procedure. At the end of the project, after two years, the system should enable surgery students to experience a hip joint procedure both visually and haptically in a virtual reality setup. This will greatly facilitate the training of surgeons and help them make fewer mistakes when beginning to practice. 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. 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 or equivalent in computer science, or related disciplines such as mathematics, physics, etc. 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 3D geometric algorithms, you are capable of effectively applying mathematical methods, and you have good 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, at least for conversation, is a plus. Conditions of Employment: For the time being, the position is available until 31.8.2018 (under the condition of job release), with the aim of extension. As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply.

EuroVis 2017: CALL FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORTS - STAR sketch submission deadline October 9, 2016

by eurographics＠eg.org

CALL FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORTS All accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum Important Upcoming Dates Submission of STAR sketch (two pages +references+bibliography): October 9, 2016 Invitation for full STAR submission: October 30, 2016 Submission of full STAR: January 26, 2017 EuroVis 2017 is the 19th annual scientific gathering on visualization jointly organized by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. EuroVis 2017 will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from June 12th till June the 16th, 2017 Like last year, all accepted EuroVis 2017 STAR reports will be published in Computer Graphics Forum. State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) are intended to provide up-to-date and comprehensive surveys on topics of interest to the visualization research community. We encourage the submission of STARs on topics that have not yet been covered in any recent previous STAR or other survey. We welcome submissions that introduce emerging technologies, as well as proposals on more traditional visualization topics. We also welcome contributions from related disciplines and application areas demonstrating contributions to, or benefits from, the area of visualization including, but not limited to, visual computing, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, image processing, computer vision, psychology, geography, chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, data analysis, computational sciences, medicine, biology, economy, politology, etc. As part of the acceptance process into Computer Graphics Forum, STARs will undergo a multi-stage process. First, authors are being asked to submit an initial sketch by October 9, 2016. A STAR sketch briefly describes the planned STAR by outlining the topic, discussing its relevance for the visualization community, providing the planned structure and outline of the STAR together with all key references, and short biographies of the authors. The length of a STAR sketch main text is limited to two page. References and short biographies are considered extra pages and are not counted within the two page limit. Bibliographies should be limited to 200 words per author. The format of the sketch can be found at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es> http://eurovis2017.virvig.es. STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR IPC and comments on suitability and relevance will be provided by October 30, 2016. Authors will then be required to submit a full STAR. Full STAR submissions will then undergo a single blind, double cycle review, similar to the one for regular papers submitted to Computer Graphics Forum, where three external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. Full submissions are 25 pages maximum. 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. Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and will be conducted using <https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/> https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ according to the guidelines defined at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es> http://eurovis2017.virvig.es We plan to schedule each STAR as a 40-100 minute presentation as in Eurographics conferences (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis 2017 program). In any circumstance, a STAR presentation will always be given a longer time slot than that for a full paper. For any questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs co-chairs: ev2017-star(a)cs.upc.edu. Important Dates Submission of STAR sketch (two pages +references+bibliography): October 9, 2016 Invitation for full STAR submission: October 30, 2016 Submission of full STAR: January 26, 2017 Review notification: March 12, 2017 Second round submission: April 19, 2017 Second review notification: April 30, 2017 Camera ready deadline: May 14, 2017 General Chairs Isabel Navazo and Pere-Pau Vázquez, ViRVIG Group, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain STAR Chairs (ev2017-star(a)cs.upc.edu) Miriah Meyer, University of Utah, USA Shigeo Takahashi, University of Aizu, Japan Anna Vilanova, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
