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. 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.
At EUROGRAPHICS 2017, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to
present the report at a level that also allows non-experts in the particular
domain to follow this presentation.
For any questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs
co-chairs Matthias Zwicker and Victor Ostromoukhov :
<mailto:chairs-eg2017stars@eg.org> chairs-eg2017stars(a)eg.org
Submission Details
This year, STARs will undergo a single-blind, double cycle review, similar
to the one for regular papers. Hence, there is no need to prepare a STAR
proposal first. Instead, authors must submit their full-length STAR. 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. Each STAR will be reviewed by three members of the IPC who are
experts in the respective topic. Accepted STARs will be published in a
special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before the
Eurographics conference. Submissions needing a major revision will be
transferred to the standard submission track of Computer Graphics Forum.
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 submissions of STARs is mandatory and will be conducted using the
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2017STARs> Submission and Review
Management System (SRMv2).
The deadline for the submission of STAR proposals is 23:59 UTC/GMT,
September 17th 2016, with notification of conditional acceptance on December
23rd, 2016. 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.
We strongly encourage the authors to submit a short abstract before
September 1st, 2016.

Call for Tutorials
The Eurographics 2015 Tutorials Committee invites you to propose tutorials
teaching the technical background of a given subject, or demonstrating its
potential creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be
done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can
be used to do it. In a proposal for a tutorial you should consider that
tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and
development to education and application.
We are soliciting half-day and full-day tutorial proposals at the beginning,
intermediate, or advanced level in all areas pertinent to Computer Graphics.
Half-day tutorials are about three hours, plus a coffee break in the middle.
Full-day tutorials are twice that long, plus two coffee breaks and a longer
lunch break. Full-day tutorials should be motivated by sufficient scientific
material. Tutorial proposals are about 4-5 pages in length, clearly
indicating the audience that is addressed as well as the syllabus of
instruction. They will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs, supported by
external reviewers. The final selection will be based on quality of the
submission, qualification of the presenters, relevance to the conference
topics, and balance of topics.
Each accepted half day tutorial will be granted a free conference
registration for one speaker, while each full-day tutorial will be granted a
maximum of two free conference registrations.
For any question concerning tutorial submissions please contact the tutorial
co-chairs (see below).
Submission Details
Tutorial proposals (in PDF) should be submitted via email to the tutorial
co-chairs. The full proposal (4-5 pages) should be submitted by Friday,
October 28th 2016. The acceptance notification date is Friday, December 2nd,
2016. The full proposal should contain the following information:
Presenter(s) details:
Name(s)
Institution(s)
email address(es)
URL(s)
Tutorial details:
Title of Tutorial
Keywords
Half or full day tutorial (either 2×90 minutes or 4×90 minutes)
A detailed outline of the tutorial.
A statement on the necessary background and potential target audience for
the tutorial.
A brief resume of the presenter(s) indicating their background in the area
the tutorial addresses.
If a (similar) tutorial was previously held, indicate the location (i.e.,
which conference), date, and the number of attendees. Please provide
information highlighting changes, improvements and/or why the tutorial
should be held again in this form.
Course Notes
Sample course notes, although not required in the submission, are highly
encouraged to accompany the tutorial proposals. Notes may include original
text, formatted according to the Eurographics publication guidelines,
reprints of earlier papers (subject to copyright approval), slides and any
other material the authors consider useful. All course notes of accepted
tutorials will be distributed to conference participants online and on
USB-Sticks. The acceptance of tutorial proposals is contingent upon the
final submission of complete course notes.
