CALL FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORTS
All accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum
EuroVis 2016 is the 18th annual scientific gathering on visualization
jointly organized by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization
and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. EuroVis 2016
will be held in Groningen, The Netherlands from June 6-10, 2016.
For the first time, all accepted EuroVis 2016 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. 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 is limited to three pages whereby the last page may only
contain references. The format of the sketch can be found at
http://www.cs.rug.nl/jbi/eurovis2016/ForSubmitters/SubmissionGuidelines.
STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR program co-chairs for suitability
and relevance, and the authors of accepted sketches will be invited to
submit a full STAR. Full STAR submissions will then undergo a single blind,
double cycle review, similar to the one for regular papers, where three
external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. Full
submissions are 25 pages maximum.
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://www.cs.rug.nl/jbi/eurovis2016/ForSubmitters/SubmissionGuidelines>
http://www.cs.rug.nl/jbi/eurovis2016/ForSubmitters/SubmissionGuidelines
We plan to schedule each STAR as a 50-100 minute presentation as in
Eurographics conferences (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis
2016 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

** VACANCIES: POSTGRADUATE TEACHING ASSISTANTSHIPS **
The School of Computing, Mathematics and Digital Technology at Manchester
Metropolitan University is making a targeted, strategic investment in
academic positions, in order to both strengthen our growing reputation in
applied research, and continue to provide an excellent level of support for
taught courses. These posts address both priorities by combining a part-time
PhD programme with ten hours per week (on average) of teaching support. At
the completion of the contract, the successful candidate will have gained
both a doctoral qualification and significant teaching experience.

The Eurographics Best PhD Thesis Award aims to recognize good thesis work in
Europe, to incentivize young researchers, and to offer them the opportunity
to publish the state of the art section of their thesis as a STAR in the
Computer Graphics Forum Journal. Eurographics annually grants three PhD
thesis awards. They are jointly sponsored by Eurographics and the Computer
Graphics Forum Journal. The PhD Thesis Awards Committee consists of five
members.
The current Call will close on November 30th, 2015. Candidates will be PhD
Theses defended and mainly conducted in Europe or in countries having a
Eurographics Chapter or in EG Organizational Member Institutions (
<https://www.eg.org/index.php/about-eg/local-chapters>
https://www.eg.org/index.php/about-eg/local-chapters ). Theses defended and
awarded the degree from May 1st, 2014, up October 31st, 2015, are eligible
in this edition. The required documentation includes:
1. The Thesis in English, or a link to the corresponding entry in the EG
Digital Library.
2. Names and contact details of four possible reviewers, of which at least
one is not the Thesis supervisor or one of the examiners or a co-author in a
publication resulting from the thesis. The connection of each possible
reviewer to the Thesis (Supervisor, Examiner, Co-author, None) should be
stated. The Awards Committee reserves the right to solicit reviews also from
persons not on this list.
3. The submission must include a link to the Thesis pdf in the Eurographics
Digital Library, Graphics Dissertation Online. Nominations must refer to
Thesis documents being publicly available at Graphics Dissertation Online.
Forms and procedures for submission of the thesis for archiving in the
Eurographics Digital Library are available at:
<http://diglib.eg.org/handle/10.2312/8107>
http://diglib.eg.org/handle/10.2312/8107
4. Full CV of the candidate with explicit mention of which publications
resulted from the thesis.
The documentation of candidate nominations must be sent by e-mail to the PhD
Thesis Awards chair, Paolo Cignoni ( <mailto:paolo.cignoni@isti.cnr.it>
paolo.cignoni(a)isti.cnr.it), not later than November 30th, 2015. Submissions
can be sent by the candidate, the supervisor or any other researcher. All
submitted material should be in English. Every Thesis can be submitted only
once.
The PhD Thesis Awards Committee consists of five members. Committee
membership will be for five years terms, which will be staggered to ensure
continuity. The committee can decide, as an extraordinary measure, to
increase the number of awards in some years. The Committee will consider the
quality of the work, the review reports, the quality and impact of the
publications derived from the thesis, the coherence of the state of the art
section in the thesis and any other relevant aspect of the work.
Awarded researchers will be announced and receive a certificate at the
opening session of the Annual Eurographics Conference (where they will
profit from a free registration). They will also receive a three-years free
Eurographics membership, and will be invited to prepare a State-of-the-Art
paper within two months after the Conference. Submitted papers will follow a
fast track review cycle for publication in the STAR section of the Computer
Graphics Forum Journal.
