The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural
Heritage
October, 6th - 8th 2014, Darmstadt, Germany
in
cooperation with
TU Darmstadt
Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt
http://diglib.eg.org/GCH2014
============================================================================
============
INVITATION:
===========
You are cordially invited to contribute to the 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on
Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH) that, for the first time, will take
place in Darmstadt, Germany.
Archaeologists and Cultural Heritage scientists as well as ICT experts have
in the past collaborated to find solutions to optimize all aspects of
managing and delivering cultural information to new generations, but still
many unsolved problems remain. In continuation to last years' workshop
series, we would like to invite you to participate and contribute to the
European Forum for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applied
to the Cultural Heritage domain. Following a long tradition, this event
focuses on the integration of digital tools and solutions into the practice
of Cultural Heritage, Archaeology and Museums.
LOCATION:
=========
GCH 2014 will take place in Darmstadt, the birth place of the last Empress
of Russia, Tsarina Alexandra Romanov. Darmstadt is famous for its
'Jugendstil' (art nouveau) buildings. The establishment of the Mathildenhöhe
artists colony more than 100 years ago played its part in raising Darmstadt
to prominence. Magnificent art nouveau houses give this hill of muses an
unmistakable character. Through science, literature, art and architecture,
Darmstadt has developed a wholly unique appeal that has earned it much
acclaim. Today, Darmstadt boasts a great diversity of science and art, many
publishing houses and graphic design studios, as well as the European Space
Agency's satellite control centre and internationally acclaimed institutes
for ICT, literature, art and music - all of this reflected in Darmstadt's
official name as 'City of Science'.
TOPICS:
=======
The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshops on Graphics and Cultural Heritage aims to
foster an international dialogue between the different fields of expertise
and in particular allow ICT experts to have a better understanding of the
critical requirements of CH scientists for managing, processing and
delivering cultural information to a broader audience. Focus of this year's
forum is to present and showcase new developments within the overall process
chain, from data acquisition, 3D documentation, analysis and synthesis,
semantical modelling, data management, to the point of virtual museums or
new forms of interactive presentations and 3D printing solutions. GCH 2014
therefore provides scientists, engineers and CH managers a possibility to
discuss new ICT technologies applied to data modelling, reconstruction and
processing, digital libraries, virtual museums, interactive environments and
applications for CH, ontologies and semantic processing, management and
archiving, standards and documentation, as well as its transfer into
practice. The result of this interaction will be disseminated through use of
innovative digital techniques in research and education for Cultural
Heritage and through publications: on-going project results, preliminary
ideas and works in progress, and overviews of research in the use of digital
technology in the context of Cultural Heritage.
We therefore seek original, innovative and previously unpublished
contributions in theoretical or applied areas of the digital cultural
heritage domain, challenging the state of the art solutions and leveraging
new ideas for future developments. In particular:
* 2/3/4D data capturing and processing in Cultural Heritage
* Material acquisition and presentation
* Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital
presentations
* Data acquisition technologies
* Digital libraries and 3D documents
* Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance,
audio, dance, oral)
* Interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage
* Visualization and Virtual Museums
* 3D printing based on new appearance models
* Preservation and digital archiving of artefacts
* Metadata, classification schemes, ontologies and semantic processing
* Multilingual applications, tools and systems for Cultural Heritage
* Multimedia data acquisition, management and archiving
* Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for Cultural Heritage
* On-site and remotely sensed data collections
* Serious games in Cultural Heritage
* Storytelling and design of heritage communications
* Standards and documentation
* Usability, effectiveness and interface design for Cultural Heritage
Applications
* Tools for education and training in Cultural Heritage
* New business models and technology transfer into practice
GCH 2014 will also include "State-of-the-Art Reports", inspired by the EG
STARs. These are longer papers providing useful novel overviews of research
in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that
can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of GCH. They are survey papers in
what the community considers important areas that have not been covered
before or recently. Their aim is to give a detailed account of the
principles, algorithms and open problems of a research area, so that an
interested reader can quickly become up to speed in this field. We warmly
encourage all colleagues to submit to the STAR reports. Two STAR reports
will be selected by peer review and published in the local proceedings
together with the short and project papers. GCH-STAR authors will present
their work within a 60 minute presentation during GCH 2014.
CONTRIBUTIONS:
==============
We are seeking contributions by following means:
- Full research papers presenting new innovative results: these papers will
be published by Eurographics in the EG Symposium Series
(diglib.eg.org/EG/DL/WS/VAST).
- GCH-STAR reports providing a useful novel overview of research in the
fields
of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit
the multidisciplinary nature of this workshop series.
- Short papers presenting preliminary results and work-in-progress or
focusing
on on-going projects, the description of project organization, use of
technology,
and lesson learned. These papers will be published in the
"Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume.
- Tutorials and Workshops: the conference will also host half-day and
full-day
working sessions that provide an opportunity to get in touch with ongoing
projects and cutting-edge research in the field of digital technologies
for
Cultural Heritage.
The best papers of the Conference will be proposed for an extended
submission to ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage
(http://jocch.acm.org/).

================
May 9 Abstract (mandatory for all contributions);
May 16 Full Papers, Short Papers, STAR
reports due
