We invite submission of high-quality short papers that will set the standard and stimulate future trends in the field of visualization and visual analytics. Accepted papers will be published the Eurographics Digital Library. All accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference. EuroVis 2022 (https://www.eurovis.org/ ) will be held in Rome, Italy on June 13-17, 2022.
A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller — yet still significant — scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers:
• A new visualization technique or system and evidence of its utility compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation).
• An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization technique or system with convincing evaluation.
• An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system.
• A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that helps to understand its limitations.
• A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the implementation).
• A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community (without extensive evaluation of the methodology).
• The practical application of established visualization techniques or a design study that can provide insights for visualization research on which future contributors can build.
// IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: February 28, 2022
Notifications: April 1, 2022
Camera Ready Version: April 15, 2022
All submission deadlines are at 23:59 GMT on the date indicated.

3D Shape Retrieval Challenge, SHREC2022, http://www.shrec.net/
Call for Track Proposals
===================
<https://www.micc.unifi.it/3dor2022/> At Eurographics 2022 Symposium on 3D
Object Retrieval, 1-2 September 2022
New since 2020: 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. SHREC2022 is the sixteenth
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 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. We also cordially invite all 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.
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, and the procedural aspects, writing the final
paper in collaboration with the contestants, 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.
