(EGPGV 2013)
Girona, Spain , 4-5 May 2013
( <http://www.egpgv.org/egpgv2013> www.egpgv.org/egpgv2013)
*SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The importance of parallel computing is again increasing rapidly with the ubiquitous availability of multi-core CPUs, GPUs as well as cluster systems. Computationally demanding disciplines such as realistic 3D computer graphics and high-performance scientific visualization are strongly affected by this trend and require novel efficient parallel graphics and visualization solutions. All papers should have a direct relation to some aspect of parallelism in graphics or visualization such as multi-core computing, GPU rendering/computing, distributed systems, clusters or grid environments. The aim of this symposium is to strongly encourage the exchange of experiences and knowledge in novel solutions exploiting and defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization techniques, including parallel hardware architecture, software tools, and applications.
The proceedings of the Symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and on the Eurographics Digital Library. Note that the best papers from the EGPGV Symposium will be invited to submit extended journal versions to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
• Photo-realistic rendering
• Volume rendering
• Large data set visualization
• GPGPU applications
• Simulations for interactive applications
• Cluster based graphics and visualization systems
• Large and high resolution displays
• Efficient graphics and visualization methods
• Out of core rendering from/for multiple resources
• Parallel visual computing
• Large scale simulations and graphics rendering
• Visualization and graphics for scientific, engineering and commercial applications
• Graphics and visualization in Grid environments
• Multimodal applications
• Scheduling, memory management and data coherence
• Hybrid distributed/shared memory parallel visualization algorithms
* PAPER SUBMISSIONS
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works, no longer than 8 pages. Submitted papers should be formatted according to the Eurographics paper publication guidelines.
We expect that the submissions will clearly discuss the novel and significant contributions as well as related work in the field. Authors must highlight how their contributions differ and advance the state of the art in parallel graphics and visualization. The full paper and all supplementary material must be submitted via the Eurographics online SRM system. This event uses a double-blind reviewing approach, so please remove all personal data (like author, affiliation etc.) from your submission!
Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the EGPGV conference and present the paper in the symposium. Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance.

PhD position: Uncertainty Visualization for Digital Radiation Therapy
Biomedical Image analysis group at the Technical University of Eindhoven
Please follow this link to apply for this position:
<http://jobs.tue.nl/en/job/phd-student-uncertainty-visualization-for-digital
-radiation-therapy-158481.html>
http://jobs.tue.nl/en/job/phd-student-uncertainty-visualization-for-digital-
radiation-therapy-158481.html.
Project description
This PhD position is part of the FP7 EU-STREP project "DR THERAPAT"- Digital
Radiation Therapy Patient". This project is based on the past decade
advances in radiation therapy technology, offering exceptional flexibility
in dose delivery. Image guidance during treatment ensures a reliable
targeting of the dose to the tumor. This has created the possibility to
irradiate the tumor with a high dose with minimal exposure of surrounding
tissue. Thus an improvement in tumor control is no longer invariably
associated with an increase in radiation-induced toxicity. Now, the capacity
exists to create treatment plans that are tailored to the specific
characteristics of the patient. However, an individualized representational
model that informs on radiation therapy planning and outcome prediction is
still lacking. There are several modeling approaches available that have the
potential to fill this gap, among them empirical, but established
radiobiological models and more sophisticated multi-scale models.
DR THERAPAT aim is to create the Digital Radiation Therapy Patient,
integrating the available knowledge on tumor imaging, image analysis and
interpretation, radiobiological models and radiation therapy planning into a
reusable, multi-scale digital representation.
The PhD appointed to this position will work in the visualization of the
multimodal and multi-value data that plays a role throughout the complete
model-based radiotherapy planning pipeline. Prior to the radiotherapy
modeling, different imaging modalities will be combined by means of image
registration, relevant anatomical structures will be segmented, multiple
parameters will be quantified and different tissues will be classified. The
resulting multitude of information is the input for the patient-specific
radiotherapy modeling. We aim at methods for the visualization and
exploration of all relevant information in the radiotherapy planning
pipeline; we especially focus on methods that incorporate the uncertainty
that is introduced in each step in the pipeline.
The goal is to achieve an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand visualization
and exploration of the multimodal, multi-value data involved in cancer
radiotherapy planning - including the uncertainty in these data - in each
step of the radiotherapy planning pipeline and in the final planning
outcome.
Research group
The "DR THERAPAT" project comprises multiple and diverse scientific and
technical challenges. Therefore, the project will be developed by a
multidisciplinary team from leading academic and research institutions
worldwide. The PhD student will be embedded in this team formed by Philips
Research (Hamburg) and Healthcare (The Netherlands), Stichting Antoni van
Leeuwenhoek Ziekenhuis (The Netherlands), Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
(Belgium), Aarhus Universitet (Denmark), The Institute of Communication and
Computer Systems (Greece) and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e - The
Netherlands) where the PhD student will be located.
The PhD student will also be embedded in the Multivalued Image Analysis &
Visualization group ( <http://bmia.bmt.tue.nl/research/MVIAV/>
http://bmia.bmt.tue.nl/research/MVIAV/) led by dr. Anna Vilanova. This
group is part of the recently TU/e established Imaging Science and
Technology Eindhoven (IST/e, cf. www.iste.nl) High Potential Research
Program which has the ambition to become a leading research institute on the
crossroads of image acquisition, mathematical modeling, algorithmic,
visualization and biomedical applications on the basis of advanced imaging
techniques. This ambitious goal is feasible through synergy of perfectly
complementary research groups within TU/e and their collaborative partners,
such as Philips Healthcare, and regional and academic medical centers.
Tasks
. Study of data visualization and exploration methods currently used
in radiotherapy
. Study and modeling using probability theory of the uncertainty
(e.g. noise) in the image data acquired with the multimodal imaging
modalities involved in radiotherapy planning.
. Study and modeling of the propagation and accumulation of
uncertainty in the multimodal image registration, segmentation &
quantification steps.
. Analysis and implementation of methodology for the comprehensive
visualization and interactive exploration of the multimodal, multi-value
information and its uncertainty: data mining, visual analysis and real-time
user interaction will be combined to optimally facilitate the visual
representation and exploration of this multidimensional information and its
uncertainty.
. Analysis, development and implementation of methods for the
visualization of the effect of uncertainty in the tissue modeling and
therapy planning results.
. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the developed visualization and
exploration methods.
Requirements
We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements:
* You are a talented and enthusiastic researcher.
* You have experience with or a strong background in visualization,
computer graphics, mathematics, and image processing. Preferably you
finished a master in Computer Science, (Applied) Mathematics, (Applied)
Physics or Electrical Engineering.
* You have excellent programming skills and experience.
* You have good communicative skills, and the attitude to partake
successfully in the work of a multidisciplinary research team.
* You are creative, ambitious, hard working and persistent.
* You have good command of the English language (knowledge of Dutch is
not required).

Call for Papers
With this call for papers, we invite the active participation in EuroVis
2013 with the presentation of high-quality visualization research. EuroVis
2013 will
be held in Leipzig, Germany, June 17-21, 2013.
EuroVis 2013 is the 15th annual scientific gathering on visualization
jointly organized by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization
and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. Based on the
continued growth and success of the event, EuroVis will be a conference for
the second time.
Papers accepted for EuroVis 2013 are published in a special issue of
Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the Eurographics
Association, after a two-stage peer-reviewing process. Submissions should be
9 pages (at most), excluding references, and 10 pages (at most), in total.
For papers that have previously been reviewed for other venues and have been
rejected or withdrawn, the authors can provide a cover letter describing the
changes they have made to comply with reviewers' comments and requests. This
procedure is strongly recommended and it is meant to improve the efficiency
of the reviewing process but does not imply reviewer continuity. The cover
letter has to be submitted as an 'Additional Material'.

Computers & Graphics Journal
Special Edition on High Dynamic Range Imaging CALL FOR PAPERS Papers are
invited for a Computers & Graphics journal Special Edition on High Dynamic
Range Imaging. This special edition seeks contributions which are based on
technical aspects related to the capture, storage, processing and display of
High Dynamic Range content.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) imagery has enabled the handling of content that
supports real world luminance. This has created a step change in imaging
technologies which were previously limited to a fixed and reduced dynamic
range which was unable to represent real-world lighting. HDR still has
challenges to overcome before it can become a fully-fledged commercial
technology. It is still not possible to capture HDR data, particularly
video, in a straightforward manner; once it is captured the number of
storage, compression and streaming algorithms are limited; and the display
technology has still not achieved its full potential. The applications for
HDR also vary widely, and some aspects such as Image-based Lighting have
garnered a lot of support, but other interesting applications are sure to
exist and yet to be brought into the limelight.
In this CFP we invite researchers and professionals that work with imaging
technologies to submit papers that will project HDR forward to meet and
overcome the current challenges and limitations. We invite work related to
but not limited to:
- The capture of HDR video and still images
- The storage, compression and streaming of HDR content
- Display of HDR content on LDR and HDR displays
- Generation of HDR content from LDR content
- Creation of novel HDR displays
- Image-based lighting
- Applications of HDR
- User studies which establish limits for HDR methods (capture, storage,
display)
- The extension of HDR to other imaging technologies The Special Edition on
High Dynamic Range Imaging editors are: Kurt Debattista from the University
of Warwick (UK) and Luís Paulo Peixoto dos Santos from the University of
Minho (Portugal) see short CVs below.
