Call for Posters: ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Symposium on Computer
Animation
(SCA) Zurich, July 11-13, 2016
Conference website: https://sca2016.ethz.ch
Submission deadline: May 16, 2016
Notification: May 27, 2016
The 15th annual Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) will be held in
beautiful Zurich, Switzerland, July 11-13 2016, at the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). SCA is the premier forum for
innovations in the software and technology of computer animation. It unites
researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of time-based
phenomena. Our focused, intimate gathering, with single track program and
emphasis on community interaction, makes SCA the best venue to exchange
research results, get inspired, and set up collaborations.
Don't miss out!
**Posters**
We invite submissions to the poster and demo session. As in previous years,
the poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA program.
Note that posters are not formal publications, so work submitted as a poster
is still eligible for later publication.
Posters will be included the ACM and EG digital libraries. Note however that
as usual, a SCA poster does not preclure subsequent publication of a
complete paper on the same topic by the same authors (however, a SCA poster
by other authors is considered prior art and should be cited as such).
We encourage any of the following types of poster submissions:
- Up and coming computer animation research
- Technically novel production work
- Work done outside of SCA that would be of interest to the computer
animation community. This includes animation-related works recently accepted
to other conferences.
- Half-baked ideas and negative results
**Electronic Submission**
All PDF poster submissions should be submitted via email to
sca2016.posters(a)gmail.com by the deadline. Due to GMail's limits, each email
message must be less than 25MB. If this is not sufficient for your
submission or supplemental materials, you may send your submission in parts
as attachments to several emails. For supplemental materials, links to
external websites are also allowable.
Submissions must be camera-ready, with author names and affiliations listed.
The review process will be single blind. Poster abstracts should consist of
a PDF formatted according to the Eurographics / Computer Graphics Forum
style, and be no more than 1 page in length. Posters should be written and
presented in English. Supplementary material such as videos may also be
submitted electronically and will be made available to reviewers. Finally,
we also encourage the authors to submit a draft of the poster of size A0 in
PDF as supplementary material.
Poster abstracts will be included in the ACM and EG Digital Libraries, thus
providing a better and longstanding referencing to such works.
**Fast Forward Slide**
Authors of accepted posters will be required to provide a PowerPoint slide
describing their work for the poster fast forward presentation session. A
slide template and video guidelines will be provided to presenters.
**Oral Presentation**
For the final presentation, videos and interactive demonstrations are highly
encouraged. We will provide electrical outlets and tables so that authors
can display such demonstrations using their own equipment.
**Important Dates**
All deadlines are 23:59 GMT.

****************************************************************************
**
The aim of the conference is to focus on smart novel ideas and smart
customization of existing modeling and rendering techniques for effective
Computer Graphics applications. The goal is also to bring together
practitioners, users and researchers, which will hopefully inspire further
collaboration between participants particularly between academia and
industry.
The topics are (but not limited to):
Modeling
Rendering
Animation
Imaging and image processing
Human-Computer Interaction
Graphics systems
Applications
Information visualization
Volume graphics
Web graphics
In particular, we are looking for:
Tricks and Hacks: clever ways to optimize or otherwise improve known
techniques or algorithms for real-world applications
Original Techniques and Algorithms: new ways to solve real problems. Methods
that offer improvements over ones in common use.
Experience/Advice: how to make practical use of known research results. For
example, what are the parameter settings that really work? How much
precision is needed? How many data points?

transfer them in practice, and trace future research and technological
directions. Therefore, we seek original, innovative and previously
unpublished contributions in the computer graphics area applied to digital
cultural heritage, challenging the state of the art solutions and leveraging
new ideas for future developments. Specific sessions will be devoted to
reports on applications, experiences and projects in this domain.
Contributions are solicited (but not limited to) in the following areas:
. 2/3/4D data acquisition and processing in Cultural Heritage
. Multispectral imaging and data fusion
. Digital acquisition, representation and communication of intangible
heritage
. Material acquisition analysis
. Heterogeneous data collection, integration and management
. 3D printing of cultural assets
. Shape analysis and interpretation
. Similarity and search of digital artefacts
. Visualization and Virtual Museums
. Multi-modal and interactive environments and applications for Cultural
Heritage
. Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital
presentations
. Semantic-aware representation of digital artefacts (metadata,
classification schemes, annotation)

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath seeks a
Professor of Visual Computing. The successful candidate will be an
internationally leading academic who will contribute to leading and
enhancing the Department. The Department is structured in four
groups: Visual Computing, Human-Computer Interaction, Intelligent Systems
and Mathematical Foundations.
Currently including seven academic staff and associated researchers, the
Visual Computing group has broad interests bound together by the
contemporary movement of vision and graphics convergence. Research includes
body and face tracking, motion capture, acquisition of natural phenomena and
buildings, 3D geometry, 2D shape, and object recognition. The group
regularly publishes in leading conferences and journals. It currently holds
over £12M in research funding, including the new EPSRC Centre for the
Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications (CAMERA). In
addition, the group hosts the £20M Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE),
in which research students are co-supervised by world-leading industrial
researchers.
Partners include The Imaginarium, The Foundry, the BBC, Double Negative, and
many others. The group enjoys collaborations with academics including
Cardiff, Loughborough, UCL, Tsinghua, Zhejiang and KAUST. The group also
contributes to the international community through its work on steering
committees, editing journals and other activities.
This opportunity arises following the retirement of Professor Phil Willis,
Director of the CDE. The successful candidate may assume the Directorship
of the CDE, subject to negotiation with the University and EPSRC. The
successful candidate will also be expected to conduct excellent research,
with the ability and desire to collaborate effectively and productively with
colleagues across the University and beyond.
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to engage with our
existing research activities. The post holder will also be expected to take
the lead in developing his or her own research funding portfolio from
appropriate national and international sources, and to carry out and
supervise research in line with the Departments strategy and targets.
The post holder will be expected to contribute to teaching at undergraduate
and postgraduate levels and should be able to demonstrate a continuing
commitment to maintaining the Universitys high standards in teaching and
learning, with the ability to educate and inspire some of the brightest
students in the country.
The post holder will also be expected to contribute to the leadership and
management of the Department and group.
The Department and University are committed to providing a supportive and
inclusive working environment. We are working to improve the gender balance
within the Department and particularly welcome applications from women.
Interviews will be held as soon as possible after the closing date for
applications.
