***************************************************************************
EuroVA 2013 is the fourth international Eurovis workshop on visual analytics
held in Europe and aims at continuing the success of the previous editions,
held in Bordeaux, France, in Bergen, Norway, and Vienna, Austria. Also this
year the goal of the workshop is to promote and advance the combination and
integration of visualization and analytics methods for the purpose of
problem solving in a variety of application domains including engineering,
business, public policy, biology and medicine, security, etc. EuroVA will be
held on June 17th-18th, 2013, in Leipzig, Vienna, as a workshop of the

and William Ribarsky, and short paper presentations. Visual Analytics is the
science of analytical reasoning supported by interactive visual techniques,
which requires interdisciplinary science integrating techniques from
visualization and computer graphics, statistics and mathematics, data
management and knowledge representation, data analysis and machine learning,
cognitive and perceptual sciences, and more.
TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to:
* Visual analysis processes and workflows
* Visual representations and interaction techniques

3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series
--------------------------------------------
3D object representations have become an integral part of modern computer
graphics applications, such as computer-aided design, game development and
film production. At the same time, 3D data have become very common in
various domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular
biology and medicine.
The rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software, in particular the
availability of low cost 3D scanners and modeling tools, has greatly
facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation, and manipulation, giving the
opportunity to a large user community to experience applications using 3D
models. As the number of 3D models is growing rapidly, the problem of
creating new 3D models has shifted to the problem of searching for existing
3D models. Thereupon, the development of efficient search mechanisms is
required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories.
The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from
different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine
Learning and Human-Computer Interaction who work on the common goal of 3D
object retrieval, to present state-of-the-art work in the field. This
provides a cross-fertilization ground that stimulates discussions on the
next steps in this important research area.
The 6th Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (3DOR 2013) is a
co-event of the 34th Annual Conference of the European Association for
Computer Graphics (Eurographics 2013). The workshop will take place on May
11, 2013 in Girona, Spain.
Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations
--------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research papers
addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the
form of full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers presented in a poster
session (up to 4 pages). Paper submissions need to be done by the SRM site
of Eurographics https://srm.eg.org/SRM_3DOR2013/ (see also the workshop
website for details). Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- 3D object similarity and matching
- 3D video retrieval
- 3D mobile media retrieval
- 3D object retrieval and Web3D
- 3D search in large scale data
- Personalized 3D search
- 3D object classification, indexing, and mining
- Similarity of non-rigid shapes
- Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation
- Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval
- Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching
- Matching under uncertainty and noise
- Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification
- Sketch-based retrieval
- Query interfaces and search modalities
- Benchmarking issues

- Active learning
- Statistical techniques for 3D shape analysis and retrieval
- Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization
- Applications in multimedia, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics,
e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage.
This years workshop will also feature the 8th Shape Retrieval Evaluation
Contest (SHREC2013). A separate call for participation will be issued.
It is planned to have extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop
appearing, after a further review, in a special issue of an international
