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
http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/. Note that the style for the final
camera-ready version is included in that for full papers and can be found
under Author Guidelines at
http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/index.php/for-submitters/authors-guidelines.

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.
