CLIPE workshop at EG2024: CREATING LIVELY INTERACTIVE POPULATED ENVIRONMENTS
Advances in technology are pushing towards making VR/AR worlds a daily experience. Whilst virtual characters are an important component of these worlds, bringing them to life and giving them interaction and communication abilities requires highly specialized programming combined with artistic skills, and considerable investments: millions spent on countless coders and designers to develop video-games is a typical example. The objective of CLIPE is to design the next-generation of VR-ready characters. This workshop is part of an MSCA-ITN project also called CLIPE (https://www.clipe-itn.eu <https://www.clipe-itn.eu/> ) that started in 2020 and has been addressing the most important current aspects of the problem, making the characters capable of:
* Behaving more naturally;
* Interacting with real users sharing a virtual experience with them;
* Being more intuitively and extensively controllable for virtual worlds designers.
To meet the goals, there is a need for multidisciplinary research on VR/AR, computer graphics, computer animation, psychology and perception. This workshop will present the results of the CLIPE project, but is also opened to publications from other researchers.
CALL FOR PAPERS
This workshop will be co-Located with Eurographics 2024 and invites researchers to submit original research papers related to modeling and animation of humans and/or crowds. The workshop welcomes both technical papers and position papers, and authors may also submit work in progress. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
* Modeling and animation of humanoid characters

EuroVis short papers present late-breaking results, work in progress, and
follow-up extensions, or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers may
cover all areas of visualization and describe more focused and concise
research contributions and are likely to have a smaller - yet still
significant - scope of contribution than full papers. Short papers draw from
the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested
topics. The following descriptive examples may be helpful in understanding
what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers:
- A new visualization approach and sufficient evidence of its utility.
- Incremental improvements or variations of known approaches and their
convincing evaluation.
- An extensive evaluation of existing techniques or systems.
- Well-proven counter examples that enhance our understanding of the
strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of existing visualizations.
- Discussions or reflections - potentially controversial - of current
visualization practice that substantially advance our understanding of
visualization.
- A new implementation approach that has demonstrably resolved a significant
technical issue.
- A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has
demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community.
- Novel practical applications of established visualization techniques and
evidence of their usefulness.

Doctoral Consortium submission deadline
February 13, 2024
Call for Doctoral Consortium
The Eurographics Doctoral Consortium is a networking event that provides PhD students, working in all areas of computer graphics, with an excellent opportunity to present their work and interact with distinguished and experienced researchers in the field. They will receive feedback and mentoring, as well as a different perspective from senior researchers outside their home institution. In addition, the Doctoral Consortium provides a unique forum for PhD students to share their work and experience among their fellow PhD students. Thanks to Meta’s generous sponsorship, accepted students will receive a complimentary registration to the full Eurographics 2024 conference. The Doctoral Consortium will take place within the Eurographics’2024 conference, April 22-26, 2024, Limassol, Cyprus.
WHO SHOULD APPLY?
PhD students working in all areas of computer graphics are encouraged to apply. We particularly encourage applications from students who are in the first half of their PhD work, especially those who already have a clear research direction (possibly with some published results), as they have sufficient time ahead to profit from their participation in the Doctoral Consortium. Students who are close to finishing their doctorate degree, or have very recently finished it, are also welcome to share their experience and to discuss their ongoing research and future research plans.
The applicants are strongly encouraged to consider submitting a poster of their work to the poster track in parallel.

Short Papers submission deadline
January 5, 2024
Call for Short Papers
Authors are invited to submit short papers [4 pages max] that present self-contained, complete, compact works on all areas related to computer graphics, such as rendering, modeling, visualization, animation, simulation, virtual reality, computer vision, computer-aided design, digital fabrication, imaging and computational photography. We particularly invite submissions which present tangible and practically useful improvements to the state of the art, but which are not thematically wide enough to justify an entire full paper. What we would like to see as short papers are individual smart ideas and intriguing findings that might otherwise remain unpublished, due to them standing in isolation – as opposed to falling within the context of some larger scientific endeavour, where they can be easily mentioned in the corresponding publication.
Accepted short papers will be published in the Short Papers digital media proceedings and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their work as an oral presentation at the conference.
Timeline
* January 5, 2024 Submission deadline
* February 23, 2024 Notification to Authors
* March 22, 2024 Camera-ready version due
* April 5, 2024 Fast-Forward video due
* April 22, 2024 Conference
* All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC
Submission details
Submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2024S> Submission and Review Management (SRM) system. Submitted papers must be anonymous, up to 4 pages in length, and formatted according to the Eurographics Author’s guidelines (short papers LaTeX style package available from the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2022/Instruction> SRM system).
Authors of accepted papers will present a super short summary or a teaser during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25 seconds (exact length to be decided) and shall be augmented by slides. To ensure a smooth organization, they will be asked to prepare a short video of the slides for this purpose, in two versions: one with the spoken text and one without. These FF presentations will be available on the web throughout the conference. Details will be sent to accepted paper authors.
Plagiarism
A submission to the Eurographics Short Papers program should describe an original work of the authors. Authors must not use ideas or content originating from others without properly crediting their original sources. Note that such sources are not limited to peer-reviewed publications but also include patents, textbooks, technical reports, theses, unpublished work posted on arXiv, and other posts on the World Wide Web. Failure to comply with this requirement will be considered plagiarism and result in rejection.
Prior Art
Authors are expected to cite, discuss differences and novelty, and compare results, if applicable, with respect to relevant existing publications, provided they have been published in a peer-reviewed venue.
This also applies to patents, which also undergo a professional reviewing process. But what about technical reports, and other non-peer-reviewed publications, such as technical reports or papers posted on arXiv, which we henceforth refer to as pre-publications? With the rapid progress of search engines and the increased perusal of arXiv papers by the scientific community, asking authors to thoroughly compare their work to these pre-publications imposes an unreasonable burden — a seemingly relevant report that is incomplete in its disclosure or validation might appear online shortly before the deadline. Although peer-reviewed publications are certainly not immune to these shortcomings, they have, at least, been judged sufficiently complete and valid by a group of peers. Consequently, authors are not required to discuss and compare their work with recent pre-publications (arXiv, technical reports, theses, etc.), although they must properly cite those that inspired them (see “Plagiarism” above). Nevertheless, we encourage authors to mention all related works they are aware of as good academic practice dictates. Note that with new works posted on arXiv on a daily basis, it is increasingly likely that reviewers might point out similarities between the submitted work and online reports that have been missed by the authors. In this case, authors of conditionally accepted papers should be prepared to cite these pre-publications in their final revision as concurrent work, without the burden of having to detail how their work compares to or differs from these pre-publications.
arXiv Policy
As authors, putting a submission on a repository like arXiv is allowed, either before submission or during the review cycle. There is no penalty for publishing a submission as a prepublication. However, if there are largely overlapping prepublications of the same authors that are available online at the time of submission (arXiv), earlier or largely similar versions of the submission should not be cited in the submission because this would identify the authors. This is consistent with the submission guidelines at SIGGRAPH and CVPR/ECCV/ICCV. After submission, the authors should try to preserve the anonymity of the submission. Specifically, the following list clarifies what is allowed and what not.
Allowed:
* arXiv postings before and after the submission deadline. Do not state that the submission is under review for Eurographics.
* YouTube video on personal account. Do not show submission id or anything that could relate to as a Eurographics submission. Authors can link the videos from the arXiv page or personal web page.
* Code release on personal code repositories (e.g., github). Authors can link the code repository from the arXiv or personal web page.
* It is ok to list submissions in job applications and in interviews as long as they are not referred to as Eurographics submissions.
* It is ok to present the work in non-public venues in particular job talks as long as they are not referred to as Eurographics submissions.
* It is ok to list submissions on author’s webpages as long as they are not referred to as Eurographics submissions.
* It is ok to publicize the work via authors’ social media as long as they are not referred to as Eurographics submissions.
Not allowed:
* It is not allowed to list submissions on institutional websites irrespective of the presentation form.
* No publicity via university or company PR teams regardless of whether authors or institutions are kept anonymous – this includes any postings or dissemination via institutional or promoted social media accounts.
* No media interviews regardless of mainstream media or tech-focused outlets (small-scale, non-public seminars are allowed).
* Do not post papers or supplementary material on university, company, or other private servers that may identify preprints as Eurographics submissions.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
SHREC2024 - 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge 2024
http://www.shrec.net/
<https://3dor2024.dcc.uchile.cl/> At Eurographics 2024 Symposium on 3D
Object Retrieval, 26-27 August 2024
Nota bene: Full paper submissions will follow a two-stage review process and
will be published in the international journal Computes & Graphics upon
acceptance.
We strongly encourage to consider the graphics replicability stamp
initiative, <http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/>
http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/, and to apply for this additional sign of
recognition.
Introduction
The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge is to evaluate the
effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC2024 is the nineteenth
edition of the challenge. Like previous years, it is organized in
conjunction with the Eurographics Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval, where
the results will be reviewed and presented at the symposium.
Thanks to the efforts of previous track organizers, SHREC already provides
many resources to compare and evaluate 3D retrieval methods. For this year's
contest, we aim to explore new and updated tracks. Therefore, the
participants are invited to have an active role in the organization of the
event. This includes proposing track themes, building or acquiring a
training and test collection, and deciding upon the queries, relevance
assessment, and performance measures.
The participants of each track will collectively write a paper, which will
be peer reviewed, and published in Computers & Graphics upon acceptance. At
least one author per track must register for the symposium, and present the
results. The registration must be unique for the paper, multiple papers on
one registration does not count. We also cordially invite all other
participants of a track to register and attend the workshop.
Tracks
The tracks organized in the past years have covered different aspects and
tasks of 3D shape retrieval, for example: rigid or non-rigid models; partial
(e.g. range scan) or complete models; sketch-based 3D retrieval; generic or
domain specific models (e.g. CAD, biometrics, architectural and molecular),
and various aspects such as metric learning, outlier detection,
correspondence, robustness, stability, registration, classification,
recognition, pose estimation, and machine learning, and change detection.
Now we solicit again proposals for tracks. You may opt for one of the above
themes, or propose new ones. Track organizers are responsible for all
aspects of organizing the track, such as: the task, the data collection
(copyright issues, etc.), the queries, the ground truth, the experimental
design, the evaluation method, the procedural aspects, writing the final
paper in collaboration with the collaborators, and submitting it. See below
for examples of previous SHREC editions. We strongly encourage to consider
the graphics replicability stamp initiative,
<http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/> http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/, to
apply for this additional sign of recognition, and to include this in your
track proposal.
Procedure
The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities:
* Potential track organizers send their proposal to
<mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl> shrec(a)cs.uu.nl, describing the envisioned task,
collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, expected number of
participants, and plans to apply for the graphics replicability stamp.
* Promising tracks and their organizers will be listed at the SHREC
web page, the track organizers start working out the details and recruite
participants.
* Participants register for the tracks they want to participate in.
* Each track is performed according to its own schedule, compliant
with the worskop submission and reviewing schedule.
* The track organizers collect the results.

Heraklion, Greece
(2016), Yokohama, Japan (2017), Bintan, Indonesia (2018), and Calgary in
Canada
(2019). CGI has been virtual between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID
pandemic, and
has been held last year in Shanghai, China (2023).
This year, CGI 2024 is organized by MIRALab-CUI, University of Geneva,
Switzerland, and supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). The
Visual
Computer Journal, published by Springer Nature, is the official journal of
the Computer
Graphics Society.

The accepted papers from the second call for papers will be included either
in the CGI
conference Proceedings published by LNCS, Springer, or in the VRIH journal
(Virtual Reality
and Intelligent Hardware journal published by Science Press), or in the CAVW
journal
(Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds) published by Wiley.
Note that for ALL submissions, the review process is double blind, which
requires the paper
and all supplemental materials to be anonymous. Ensure that self-referencing
is anonymous
(refer to your full name rather than "I" or "we"). Avoid providing
information that may identify
the authors in the acknowledgements (e.g. co-workers and grant IDs) and in
the
supplemental material (e.g. titles in the movies, or attached papers). Avoid
providing links to
websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines
will lead to rejection
